Personally I would leave it alone and keep the saved money for msg bike purchase and new insurance etc. But I suppose it's all a matter of whether it's money you can afford to put into a bike that will only be used for track.

Re the 1000. I'd also say get rid. Even if you managed to turn it into a cheap track bike, I bet you'd have a hard time ever really trusting it again after a crash like that! You just don't need those nagging what if's in the back of your mind.
Good luck with the search!

Cheers guys decided to let them take the bike it was too much money to take a risk on and I could not sell it not knowing it was a 100% straight.
