Its a 06 honda CBR 600RR. The rear wheel is bent and and said that the forks might be bent. He said he took it to a bike shop near his house and they quoted him on everyting new and it came to 2000.

be careful dude... i bought a stolen salv. bike and seemed like a good bike at first glance and even test drove it around a few miles.
then after a week i noticed a engine oil leak and the bike was running hot.
ended up having to do some major work on the radiator cuz the cap wasn't sealing right and also had to drop the engine and put another one in. but actually got the people i bought it from to pay for half. and i did all the work myself otherwise i would of been inthe hole alot of money.

Yeah i can see how that could affect someone, i wouldnt want a bike that someone has died on either. This bike has had one owner who paid in full for it brand new back in 06. He is about back to 100% too which is good. He was driveing down the highway and hit some gravel then experinced tank slap and went down.

Did he get an estimate for repairing all the damage? The bike doesn't look too bad, but it will take some time and money. Start low and see what he's willing to do. IMO IMO IMO I'd say 2000-2500. That back wheel looks funky...

He said he took it to a local shop and the quoted him on 2k in damages. I was going to try and get him down to 2000 is that pretty fair or am i lowballing him??
I am a car mechanic and dont really have much experiance with bike so im looking for something i can do a little work on but nothing major and this doesnt seem to major.
