This is a common feeling it seems, and I share it also. Everybody seems to learn from their own mistakes instead of listening to everyone who has already made the mistake. For me, in the end, it really wasn't even that much fun to build my track bike. haha

Anybody know this bike?
TRACK BIKE NINJA 636 on Kijiji http://london.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=408864553
Trying to follow advice here and just buy track prepped instead of dreaming of a bike that works both on and off the street.

I don't know that bike, but i know it has been for sale for sometime, I remember seeing it for sale in the summer for the same price.
So you might be able to get a good deal on it

if his name is Greg , I think I met him at tmp in the summer and 3rd gear was slipping , if its the same person. I'd buy it for 3500 needing tranny work.
If you are willing to go to buffalo or somewhere close by in the states for one, you will get a much better deal

Might be a good time for a sticky on "Beginner's Guide to Buying your First Track Bike"? There's lots of info in this forum and others, but they often get side tracked with other topics (tires, warmers, etc.) Quick search and I couldn't find a specific thread on this specifically. Anyone?
Fixed
There's a sticky about beginners to track already SFer, good luck finding a bike! See you at the track bro

Sorry yes there is but what I meant to say was that there is so much good information lost in random threads.
Threads that go off topic(like this right now, lol) that have great links and advise etc.

Those are good but assume you already have a bike. Here's a related article along the lines I was thinking. It's a bit light, and could use more content, but a good reference point, I think: http://www.doctordanger.com/motorbikeroad/buy_roadbike.htm
And a less related but FAR more comprehensive article (11 parts!) mostly related to racing but that could be of interest to people interested in the entire process of getting a race license, prepping a bike, protective gear, etc. I think a lot of the advice could be transferable to track day riders. Takes until Part 5 to get to race bike mods, but still a good read to see what some people do, or what the previous owner may have gone through (scroll to the bottom of the page for links to the other sections)
