5000 for a 2005 gsxR 750 rebuilt title and is totally rebuilt no engine damamge just body work is this a worthy bike anyone have first hand experience

I'm not a GXR expert, but given the facts...

5 g's for an 05 rebuild title, I'm guessing it was a wreck. I would say, rip off. That's me. You could probably find a nice 750 with a clean title for that.
There's no telling what hidden damage there may be after a wreck.

I'd keep looking.

I see way too many bikes on Ebay with Salvage titles goin for almost what the same unwrecked bikes go for
I would never pay that much for a wrecked bike even if it is rebuilt
cause you can never get full coverage on it

Plus, I just never get a "warm and fuzzy" when anyone is selling a bike with a salvage/rebuild title.

The mass has spoken wisely.. so heed the words thus forth spoken and seek thy steel/plastic horse in another stable Sir...

Now that was easy.

palanon · 11-14-2007, 12:07 PM

yup.

Canadarider · 11-14-2007, 05:03 PM

Sorry to hijack this thread but I was just wanted to ask.....Hey Palonon does your signature mean that you ride your bike in a speedo?

palanon · 11-14-2007, 05:12 PM

Now that would be a weapon of mass destruction. I don't think enough seeing eye dogs could be trained to deal with the crisis !

I think you have an extra 'm' in there.

05GixxxxxxxR · 11-14-2007, 09:13 PM

how about a 2006 GSXR 600 for 5800 with 7k miles good deal clean title in hand

**Clint** · 11-14-2007, 09:24 PM

That one sounds like a scam. If you can verify that it's not, grab it.

05GixxxxxxxR · 11-15-2007, 07:52 PM

Sounds good so far. Why is the seller selling it? (not that the seller will necessarily tell you the truth).

05GixxxxxxxR · 11-15-2007, 08:47 PM

he has one same year and bought this one off of his friend because his friend was hard up for money

Ride it first.

Seriously, your best bet is going to be to find a good source for blue booking these bikes and you really need to take a friend that is familiar with sportbikes with you when you shop.

05GixxxxxxxR · 11-16-2007, 10:20 PM

Rode it bought it i own a 2004 CBR 600RR with 1700 miles
