Hey guys - i was prowling craigslist, and came across an exact copy of my bike: 2015 CBR300R in the white/red/blue color scheme. Seller said that the motor had seized up while he was commuting, and it was listed for $800.

Been running great until I had to lowside the other day when I ran out of run off at Roebling Road Racetrack, and purposefully dove off after a right side lowside. That caused the front to be a bit crooked so I'm looking up how to align the rear axle and the front forks myself....
