This is what's left of a 2007 GSXR 750 with 4000 thousand miles that was in a front end collision. The neck is available for sale with title with matching vin#. It is a clear title with 3941 actual miles. If you have any question feel free to give me a call at 713-933-7447 713-933-7447, Will. We also have the motor available for, but the wire harness did sustain some damage in the accident. Thanks for looking!

Fucking idiot. Hower the sick bastard in me is kind of hoping some dumbass spends the $1400 on it and ends up with a useless hunk of shit aluminum.

From the looks of the picture, he used it to knock his girlfriend unconscious.

is it actually illegal to sell this?

immoral yes, illegal, i don't think so, it would hard to show intent for use illegally.

? What's your question?

Its completely legal and moral.


He could be selling it so you can register a hand built bike.

Or, he could be selling it immoral reasons that you'll never know. :idk:

Ok so say for instance that it is for immoral reasons. How hard it is to grind off a VIN and stamp a new one in it's place? Would it ever look factory? I would think that it would be very hard to make it look original.

Sure. But you could always think the worst..


Your call obviously.

But, like I said last night, you guys say a lot of shit that makes it hard to take when you have something relevant to say...


You might not care, and that's fine as well.

But again, it says a lot about you..

Sure, but what if I bought a track bike with no title, I check teh vin on carfax and its clean, everything is good, not stolen and all that, and then I want to street it?

That's $1400 toward street-"legalizing" a GSXR from being stolen, tracked or salvaged.

Title for a project bike? Although even for that its too damn expensive, hell even to title a stolen bike $1400 is too expensive, he might sell for 500

Yeah, they'll be sitting on that for a long fucking time at $1400.

Most of the time, stolen bikes are worth more in parts than they are as whole bikes.

If you're building a custom-frame bike, you're not going to want to try to integrate a cast-aluminum frame chunk. You can buy dead 70's and 80's UJMs for less than $500 with papers.

Hell, I've got at least 2 titled frames sitting under my deck right now, one of them is a 95% complete bike, and i'd give 'em both up for $1399.

exactly 1400 is too expensive for anything, legal or illegal
