Taking my trailer and going to look at it in the morning.... as a possible track bike...

supposedly dropped on right side 1" gouge in head... Says that it can be "welded"...

Seriously? I can't tell if you're joking or not. In case you're not, RUN away from this seller!!

I'm considering it...

Why??? I know the ad isn't well written... but supposedly it's an '03 that was wrecked during a wheely... and got a 1" gouge in the head...

It's $700... so I figured even if it needs a head.. that's pretty cheap on ebay.. and worst case scenario... I could just part it out???

I agree based on price if you can do the work yourself.

might be worth a carfax report (or similar) to make sure it's not stolen.

Buy her some flowers. I think she saved you some money.

My take on motorcycle ads:

If the seller doesn't take the time to put together an intelligent sounding ad and check spelling and grammar, then I'm sure they applied this same attention to detail to their bike.

The bike is likely as good as his english skills.

I need a clearer picture of the girl in that picture to make a more informed decision.
