i have a fren that wants to sell me his 03' gixxer 600 for 800 he did a wheelie and it landed on the right side of the bike and it now has a dent on the upper right side of the frame am i going to have to buy a new frame and i know they are expensive around 2g's think ..do i really need a new one or can i just roll with the dent? HELP please
The dent is said to possibly compromise the integrity of the frame.
You should have a specialty shop inspect the frame and tell you if it is straight and if that dent will make any difference or if its going to be purely cosmetic. If it is cosmetic then you could opt to smooth the dent out then powder coat the frame so you cannot see it.
Some people will say they will never ride on the frame, others say they have had no problem. I say you get it inspected and go with their decision. Make you you take it to a place that has the necessary equipment to test it and has experience doing it.

If you don't want it, I'll take it for 800 bucks!
