No... it has a clean title. Just don't think that i want to put the time into putting the bike back together.

but... with the offers on my parts... i am about to.

and yes... since i am considering making this a track bike... and the inverted forks have proven to be a much better set up. I decided to go with them.

wow thats odd. Why did yamaha go backwards and put un-inverted forks on the 06's? you should def put that 05 back together and either make a track bike or sell it and make your money back.

its gonna take money to get the 05 back togather eought for him to make money off it.. and having small holes in the frame doesnt help
