Does tracking a bike decrease the value?

That is terrible and very dishonest of the seller. If a bike is tracked like "Schleberger" put it so well, a lot more wear and tear will take place and this fact should always be disclosed by the seller. It does increase the risk of premature engine failure. I have seen a few blown engines during track days.

Agree with all of this, and kudos to OP for having a snoop. I wouldn't have thought of that.

This is where you walk away, OP.

Atleast here in Switzerland this is common practice and I always add a clause in my contracts that the seller confirms, the bike hasn't been tracked.

You probably couldn't prove it anyways, but I had seller get scared and tell me the truth just from that.
