Based on my own experience, if you want a very comfortable track/race bike, that is stupid fast, this is the best deal you will find. I have a 2011 ZX10R race bike and spent well over $13,000 and don't have the top of the line suspension and beautiful body work on this one. Think of all the work you will save by not having to install all these goodies too....You can never build a bike like this for his selling price. I have a similar linkage setup and that makes all the difference in the world.
