Those bikes will require the forks to be rebuilt, brakes are shot, clutches are shot, motor has a very good possibility of having dirt in the cylinder. Yes they rebuild this engines after every race, but the cylinder is likely scored and will need to be bored out (Nikasil is not cheap.. ), valves are probably bent form being over heated.. Since most of those riders are factory backed the bikes cost nothing.
