Mc22 tracky would be much more fun than both of those...

dansher · 02/02/2012, 20:11

If it was something just for the track Id be looking into something bigger. A CBR600F2 or F3 would be ideal for you. Youd surely pick up a rough one for small money considering their age. Get cheap track fairings for it and away you go.

Plus there is no shortage of spare parts for them so if you bin it, it shouldnt cost you too much to fix.

thanks for the info mate, i was looking at a cbr1000 on the same site, similar condition to the ones i posted,

i haven't really been riding long thats why i was looking at the 250s, that and i assumed they would be a bit cheaper

If you buy from Manheim, make sure you go there personally. They are very complicated to open an account to bid online. But their fees are much cheaper than Pickles.

thanks mate, yeah i was going to go down if i found something i like, really only looking to see what around at the moment and for what sort of cash

Statutory write off means that you can't register the bike for regular road use.
If it was a repairable write off then it would be a different story.

I would be looking at getting either a 400 of some descript or a 600 instead of the bikes that you have listed.
