Mine was bullet proof. It just had soggy suspension and square tires. I bought it for my Girlfriend and it's condition was holding back the progression of her learning to ride. So, instead of spending the money to spruce it up, I sold it for a profit and replaced it with a newer one. But, I did these things based on things that I knew to be true. Not someone else's opinion. That's why I recommend doing your own inspection on it. Dont just take someone's word for it.

The engine in my CBR crapped out on me last fall too. Before I had even rolled to a stop I was already pretty sure what was wrong with it. By the time I got it home I was already going over the process of rebuilding the engine in my head. When it comes to Bikes, I have a hard time affording a lot of repairs on a lemon but I REALLY cant afford to just bail on one and totally lose out.
