Good suggestions. I'm guessing the only way to check for this is to remove the exhaust and shake it around?Baffle inside exhaust corroded, come loose?

I don’t know a whole lot about them but good examples are ridiculously expensive now. The engines are pretty strong and spares are freely available. Frame and bodywork parts seem to be scarcer and more expensive, so if I were to look at one I’d be prioritising frame and bodywork condition over engine condition.Anyone on here got an older BMW R80/100. Looking to buy one, but just after buying advice really..
Can one of you discerning fellows offer an opinion on this GSXR 600 I'm looking at buying?

By the description and photos it sounds perfect, the only thing I picked up was on the 2021 MOT it had an advisory for:
Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
Which presumably is nothing, just a wearable part. I'm assuming the valve stem is referring to that of the wheels and not the engine!
- Front Valve stem slightly damaged (5.2.3 (j))
- Rear Valve stem slightly damaged (5.2.3 (j))
The one thing that surprises me is it's been listed for sale since February 19th going by the eBay advert, I would have thought a bike like this that ticks all the boxes would have sold by now? The price isn't cheap sure but it's around the going rate?
Thoughts? Thanks.
If you view it I would just check the valve stems, as you said it should be the wheels, and get them to replace if they haven't already.
Price looks to be the going rate, only thing I would put it down to is time of year, nobody wants a 600 sports in the winter and probably just the general cost of everything at the moment, wouldn't be surprised it bike sales hit a low this year.
FowlersParts for OEM but I always take the product code and search eBay before buying.I've managed to identify that the gasket between the cat box and headers has disintegrated. So there wasn't a solid connection between the two components. The clamp is also well rusted but potentially still useable.
Thankfully it should be a cheap fix. What website/business do you guys go to buy your bike parts?
They seem like great bikes but that video is a load of horse ****!
Whilst I'm still loving my 125, this is starting to get to me...
Thank you very much.FowlersParts for OEM but I always take the product code and search eBay before buying.

Thanks mate. I rang earlier this afternoon with a view to buying it and the chap who answered said it sold a few days ago! Annoying that they don't remove the adverts.
Ideally I'd like a 600, but the difference in price between 600 and 750 insurance quotes is about £50, so may well consider a 750.
