Default Wrecked Rocker

I am in the market for a new bike and came across this one.

what do you think i will all have stuck into this after the messed up parts are fixed?

or with damage like this just walk away...

oh, and it will be somewheres around $8000 like this

I'm all for picking up a lightly damaged salvage bike to fix up on the cheap but I wouldn't pay $8000 for that mangled heap of Rocker.

That thing is wrecked man, how is the frame? engine? From what I see ALOT of work will need to be done, looks like several added G's.
I personally would walk away, with a few more G's you could get a badass bike that actually runs!

walk away from it. Waaaaay too much time and $$$ needed on top of the 8K you'll drop just to get it.
