It's in Atlanta, GA or thereabouts. No idea what kind of shape it's really in due to lack of pictures but...for $1200?

The frame on that kawi is steel, and its the sheittieiest welding and splattering I have seen on anything. Honestly I've seen homemade redneck trailers with better welding ...
So any impact hard enough to bend a fork and a wheel I will not trust it to have not busted the welds in the frame ...
I will want to do a plastic off - check of all the frame elements and welds before springing the 12 big un's.
Cool.

I also think we had a thread here before with pics of those bikes and rusted frames and frame welds. Better look at it first.

Buddha,

I think that's good advice.  Somehow, despite the ugly welding job, owners have found the 650's to be resilient after crashes. 

Also, do a search for "ninja 650 broken weld".  There is a weld that frequently broke on the 2007 650 that was later remedied.

You should probably put "wrecked' in the thread title.

That really says something about the integrity of those discs doesn't it.

I hope the guy was all right.
