That's the thing, this doesn't, hence my inquiring here to more experienced people. I don't mind a track fiend, so long as its been taken care of mechanically. Bike looks great as far as I can see from learning about buying my first money pit. Now bear in mind that the UK doesn't exactly afford the same silky roads that the US has to offer, so potential for undisclosed drops or damage as maybe higher?
Bike doesn't look like a wheelie or city fiend bike, but the seller was incredibly vague about offering any kind of service history or providence which worries me some.
Reckon I'm falling for the 'daayum that looks good, I want it' syndrome. So will back off for the time being.

Jeez man - don't be put off by tyres. They're there for shredding. Seriously, if they're soft compounds on a hot day, they tear. Nothing wrong with bikes that have done track days. Anything heavily tracked, would tend to stand out - overly clean bodywork (kept in a cupboard,) aftermarket crash bungs or rearsets (or shiny new footpegs - kept in cupboard.) Look also around the bottom of the fork legs and axle for scrapes and at sump plugs for evidence of lockwire. Seriously though, proper track refugees will look haggard.
