I think we should keep a difference between race bike and track bike, as the possible maintenance backlog may vary between the 2 dramatically. friends of mine have also picked up ex race bikes and had a multitude of issues, overheating etc, and also resulting in a stock engine swap and sold the motor on as parts, but even so it worked out relatively cheap due to the build list on the bike (suspension wheels etc), so you need to have a budget for some work regardless i think
ok so what are you peeps thinking about this then https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374084897795?hash=item5719328c03:g:cNIAAOSwq3RiheLq
Very low mileage and fuck all of a description. I'd be sceptic and would want to know a lot more about the bike before I made any effort to go look at it.
Looks suss-ish except not the usual email in picture thing. Plus user name kind of ties up with the sign written van. Reckon more likely someone listing like an old fashioned ad: minimal info and call to chat Be worth a call to find out more, obvs arrange to see before buy etc
