I'm curious, I see a lot of posts in the for sale forum and on ebay about R1's that are being parted out. And while, it's a great way to pick up a few replacement parts for my scooter that I might need at less than new cost, are we purchasing parts off stolen bikes?
I understand that some people may want to sell off parts that they no longer need to turn their bike into a track only bike. But when I see posts from people parting out everything down to the frame, it just seems suspicious to me.
I need a few parts for my bike, and would like to save a couple of $$$'s, but if I am purchasing stolen parts, I would rather spend the extra money and ride with a clear conscience.
So, do you guys feel that the majority of these are stolen bikes/parts, or is there another reason for parting everything off an R1 that I am not thinking of.
Thanks,
Ray
