personally i'd save your pennies for somethign newer and better. buying a used bike that was wrecked is kindof like raw-dogging a prostitute. you never know what you're going to get from it. but if you have to get this bike, make sure it's inspected before you even THINK about it unless you just need it for parts.
you can get an early f4i pretty cheap by now btw.

yeah im definatley gona have to go w/ ace on this one.....the bike looks beat up, and for 2500 i am positive you can find something better......that bike at most is worth id say 2000 if that......
Don't be too hasty when buyin a bike, a lot of people that I know have done that, including me, and gotten royally screwed in the end, just be careful, if you aren't sure about your skills as a mechanic or as a buyer, there is absoltely no harm in takin the bike to a shop and havin them check it out....better to spend 100 bucks on their word that everything is good, than spend 3000 on something that isn't ...........just my two cents......
I wish you well in your bike buying endevours, definatley don't be afraid to post up and ask questions......

yeah dude i was just on craigslist a couple weeks ago and there was a 03 f4i 5000 miles on it never down really never rode and the chick wanted 3500 for it so if you keep your eyes open you will come across a better deal

I'd agree with everybody. I bought my F4i from a fella who posted on CraigsList. 01 F4i for 2700 lightly scratched fairings, 15,000 miles, pipe, filter yada yada yada you get the point right? Newer fuel injected bike with a few scratches and a bunch of aftermarket stuff that runs and drives fantabulously lol. I'd say pass on that F4.
edit: (not meaning to be negative agains F4s just that one)

Yea you will spend a lot more fixing that junk up then to buy one at a price a little higher. Also go with F4i, fuel injected is the shiznit.
