I just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone knows of any excellent deals on project bikes. I am looking for something to make into a designated track bike. Must have straight frame at very least but I am willing to put in a lot of time into it if I get a great deal. Please keep your eyes out for me! Prefer a 2003 or newer zx6r but am open to possibilities. I am getting a nice tax return and I wanna get out to the track!! Thanks

Not interested in pre-built bikes unless it is a smokin deal

im in the same boat, but ima pick mine up from an insurance auction. You can get a new model yr for a cheaper price then most will sell you theirs for.

Good idea, how do you find out about the auctions?

Go to IAAI.com look in motorcycle section and you can choose all the makes and models you want to search near you.

Found a 03' zx6r 636 for $1250 or a 08' zx6r for $1500. Both have damage and will need some time and money put in them, the 08' a little more. The 03' guy won't return my calls but I am getting pretty stoked because I can actually find good starting points for a track bike and just wanna work on it to make it badass!

Simple... which one do you like more?

I would suggest you pick up an 03-05-ish track bike, not a salvaged street bike. The reason being is that by the time you have put some goodies on the bike, you will quickly surpass the minimal cost of an already prepped track bike. I just sold two '03 R6's with full suspension setups (Ohlins/Penske/RaceTec), clip-on, brand new Vortex rearsets, PCIII's, Quickshifters, radiator guards, race body work, one had a fresh paint, gear indicator, one with decent slicks, 1/4 turn gas cap, etc.)... they sold between $2K and $2,500. Already safety wired, motors still ran strong. And with that minimal cost for a bike, it is PLENTY good enough to throw down expert lap times

You can find them on the various race organization's forums around the country. Check out WERA for some nice ones. But some of the other clubs have smoking deals too. See what racer's forums there are for the closest track to you.
