    Hello,
    I've been looking at a few vfrs and one in particular seems like a good deal. Maybe to good.
    Its a 03 with 25k on the clock. Its been resprayed to an audi grey and rims have been powder coated too. Mirrors changed to LED ones by current owner but the previous owner did the painting or at least had it resprayed. It looks good and the body seems in pretty good shape which makes wonder if it was a crashed bike to begin with and has a crack somewhere on the frame.

    Its priced below all the rest and theres no bike really going for the asking price.

    Any thought be appreciated! :D

    WELCOME, Mike

    some fairings would need removal to get a close look at the frame. with any evidence of a front wheel hit, depending upon speed, cracks could form around the steering head. new forks would be a clue. check for rear subframe twist or off center.

    Guessing you need to eyeball the back wheel and see if it lines up perfectly with the frame ?
