say you get it for £450. Get a hagon rear shock for £250 or do the GSXR conversion. A set of front springs and some 20 weight Oil for another £100

Then attack it and make sure the folowing are sorted
Brake calipers
rear suspension bearings
head bearings

and you're ready to go! A track bike for less than £750

and that's leaving it so you can ride it there and ride it back. If you take off the lights, indicators, fairings etc you could sell them to pay for the shock!

A track bike is something to have fun on riding around a track. Its not a race bike. It doesn't have to go as fast as possible. Hell, you could buy it and put it straigt on the track. OK so you might find the limits quickly but isn;t that the point? If you find the limits, THEN it is time to start buying new parts.

Go for it If you don't I'll buy it and strip it!

come on though Col, you know it never stops there. Before you know it there'll be another couple of grand thrown at it.
