The problem is, a lot of people don't change out wear items (just like on cars), and try to be cheap. Have someone who knows what they are looking at inspect it first. Get a bike that fits you well also. GSXRs tend to be a little taller, so make certain that you are comfortable.
I wouldn't get it from WOW - prices are too high. Private seller is usually your best route.
Tarzanman - I've never had a SuperHawk, only 900/929/954/1000RRs, and they have been very solid. I've had FZR400s and 600s, and they had rectifier issues (known design issue). My R1s (00/02) have been pretty solid as well, and no electrical problems. I've never had an R6, but worked on a few, and had to replace a couple of stators.
, get what you like by loook and if you can ride one go ahead and test them out. All bikes will have an issue if half ass kept. find a common part like a stator and other parts known to go out and compare prices from each brand.
