Well, it's just that you don't see ANY of those in THAT GOOD of condition - ever. That gen was only produced a couple of years, and they are usually junk by now.

Considering that you are planning to pull the engine down, a sweet runner isn't necessary. Another member here found 2 Ninjas without Titles for $500, which would give you a spare engine, wheels, and frame in case you needed it. Beaters are out there. We bought a beater in IL from a member here for $150 that ran and had a Title. You could say they are almost a dime-a-dozen.

You may be able to trade or even sell that one to completely finance your track build.
