Friend of mine is a run from the cops type he ran a few to many times and was chased a lot because they could see and hear a yellow R1 for miles, anyway he blew the head gasket while flatout and then it was parked. it's got a ohlins damper and a penske rear shock.

Pretty sure the engine is toast, but hey maybe son number one could take it appart for fun, I can take a fair few bit off it and get a spare yzf750 running again, or not it was free..
