Worth buying for $1800 and fixing??

2008 Kawasaki ZX6R

Doesn't look too bad from the picture.

if i replaced front rim, fairings, forks, and clipons I could still sell it for a good price even with the salvage title.. maybe. I need him to get back to me with more specifics. What do you guys think? I could just part it out if it's not worth fixing then

I was going to buy it and make a dedicated track bike, but someone made a higher offer the day I was supposed to get it

The steering tube is probably bent, meaning you need a new frame or lots of work to make it straight

Fuck that, pass
