It's an 03 but I have a bid on one already. If that does not work out I'll PM you.

Sweet bike Nick! I'm sure you'll have it in perfect shape in no time...

I'm hoping to have it in great condition by 9/24 for the next trackday. I'll keep you guys posted with pics and all as the bike becomes beautiful again

Re: What to look for when buying a used race bike?
Just an update for everyone. I have now replaced chain, sprockets, wire harness and tach. I took the bike to the shop yesterday to have a compression / leak down test done. Compression test was good but I need a valve adjustment, which is also being done. I am having them put in new plugs since they are already in there working on it. They told me that either the upper or lower triple clamp is bent. Possibly the steering stem. I have a spare that I am going to bring them, but who knows that may also be bent. I have also replaced the tires, oil, and brake fluid. Still waiting on the radiator from UPS. Looks like I'm not going to make it to the track this month, but I have all winter, unlike you boys up north. I'll post up some pics when I get it back, starting to come together nicely.
