Gday
Where are people getting track bikes from?
I have been watching the fowles auction site thinking that if a mildly damaged one came up that i thought i could fix i might go for it.
I dont have the money to buy a new bike and i dont want to buy a piece of shit either.
The bike i currently own is fun on the track but i would like something a little faster and soley for track use.
Ive been a couple times now and you could say that maybe i have an addiction

the auctions are a good spot, you can eyeball the bike and get a good idea of what will be needed, to fix it up for a track weapon....
e-bay is another place, although it has its own *issues* with bullshit artists and creative photography...
Trading Post /Just Bikes / MC Trader / Bikepoint.
your local classified ads sometimes have the odd *bargain* or 2 as well...
Good luck

Try the affiliated racing clubs newsletters ie- Hartwell MCC or Preston MCC or whatever your local is!!!
Far better to buy one ready to go, than to spend the cash to convert one. Much cheaper........

Heres the link.
They can be a bit overpriced on some items.
Really need someone to check the bike out "in the flesh' as the pics can be misleading.

you gotta be positive,
-brake fluid resevoir cap is good
-one front caliper is good,
-rear sprocket
-fuel cap
- and most importantly the KEY is there!!
remember all the probs with getting that fuel cap off the zx6R??
