Buying a bike that has been raced... Warranty problems..

[cat with a hat]

So I've found out that the 100% stock, less than 1 year old 1000cc super sports bike I intended to purchase privately is actually on its second owner and has been used for racing for the past several months from what I gather. (research/online stalking)

Whilst the bike is still technically under warranty, I'm not sure how valid this will be now given that its been in bits and along with full fairings + seat change, its probably had all sorts of non standard parts fitted to it.

Its being privately sold and before finding this out, the price was down 2k from what a fancy dealer would be selling it for.

Would you walk away?

Not that lucky

I think you know what the answer is.

I will confirm with the owner tomorrow as he hasn't mentioned anything, but I think my internet stalking has saved me.

edit: Cue a number of innocent questions followed by loaded questions depending on the answer.

The advert was very bare, which is very strange given the guys background. (I mean he didnt even mention what year the bike was, I guessed that by how it looked).
