I'd buy it, but i'd check the hell out of it first...1500$ is still alot for a blown up bike...hopefully it's not chewed right up and he's lying...just the fact he said top and bottom end rebuild means he's sketchy...
That's a little high! I bought my 06 for 1000 bucks with a spun crank bearing and sold everything I didn't need on flebay for 940 bucks (so far). All I have left is the coil, so I'm just about at a free chassis.
