Should I buy this SXR?

Like the title says it's an 03 SXR. Hull is in good shape, the bottom has some good scratches but I've seen worse. It has footholds and tubbies. The pin on the pole bracket that holds the pole up when you're under the hood is broke.

Inside it has a TDR waterbox, a primer and a bilge with a dash mounted switch. Other than that the motor is bone stock. The colorful issue is that the electrics are fried. I don't know what he did, but one of the wires from the box to the stator is completely melted. So I am assuming the worst case that I would need a whole new box and stator. I found a box for $150, still looking for a stator. I think I can get it for $1,000. What do you think? I really had my heart on a RN SJ or an FX1. If I buy this, fix it, then decide it's too bulky (I've never riden an SXR and I weigh a hefty 150) what's it worth in good shape? Thanks for the help.

get a running SN for about the same price
SXRs are huge, good for racing but little else IMHO

If you can get it for $1000 no doubt go for it, well at least I would. Also if it is the wires to the stator that are melted the box may still be good and a only new stator may be needed.
