Hi everyone. I am looking for a starter bike. I assume I need something small. I do want it to be race ready condition. So, what you got? I’ve been riding for 60 years And turned pro at 16, but I haven’t raced since Kenny Roberts dragged a knee. Now, I have plenty of time on my hands and want to go play.
Still looking for a bike
Just posted a great track bike for sale! Fairing sold separately in another post.
Hi Alain. Nice bike, but I took a look at it a couple of weeks ago. You weren't willing to negotiate in any way. Gotta throw me a bone.Quote:

I certainly never expected retail prices on upgrades and I received very little extra cash for them. I would never spend new/retail prices for used equipment.Quote:

Bump - Still looking for a small, sub-$5,000 Bike. $4,000 is even better
Bike & Fairing just sold.
You just passed on a really good deal for a bike. That bike probably cost $12k to build. Yes, i know all about how you don't get full retail ouit of a race bike. Been doing this since last century. We built Cosmo's R3 years ago and had $16k in it and sold it for $4500. Just FYIQuote:
