Default Impulse buy/gsxr advice?

Right bit of an impulsive sod at times but I've been offered a GSXR 750 track prepped bike + trailer for £800 the guy lives literally 5 mins away from me so no messing about. Just need to clear the garage & pop it it.
Question: am I right in saying that's ok price for an SRAD GSXR + 1 bike trailer & lots of trick bits?

WOW ! i'm on the hunt for a track bike at the moment and that sounds a good price - you don't say what model so not sure if its a carb or FI one.
assuming it has the usuals, such as braided hoses and a slip on exhaust at least, would also imagine it doesn't have the original fairing but that doesn't matter if its aftermarket. At the end of the day the trailes is worth quite a good part of that 800 quid.

Look on ebay and see what else is available but based on browsing it for the last 90 minutes that sounds pretty good !

I'll have to get a bit more info off him but similar bikes seem to be up in the thousands. It's track fairings, ohlins suspension IIRC and other bits and bobs.

Is the engine in good nick, is the chassis generally quite straight? You dont want to by a track bike then find out its moments away from destruction on the day you buy it, which you only find out at 13,000 rpm down the back straight at snetterton...

Right been up to see it today the guy lives literally round the corner from me
It's a lot better than I thought it would be...but unfortunately more expensive too - my mate that told me about it got the price wrong.

It's an injected Srad but swapped to carbs, Full race fairings, ohlins rear shock, GSXR forks (), Ohlins steering damper, Harris (?) rearsets and rear brake mastercylinder, hindle exhaust, few spare wheels & tyres, polished frame, ignition advancer, braided lines etc etc. And a really good trailer.

£1300 ono



Anyone with anyknowledge on GSXRs have any input on the price?

Just looked at the one falc(?) on the forum's selling (1999) and it has normal forks - this one has upside down forks. Might have been retrofitted.

Quick scan on ebay and it's looking like the bikes probably worth about £1300 (although the ones on ebay look like dogs this is really good), so essentially getting a free trailer. This trailer's similar
