Trek Y Foil?

Is there any reason not to purchase one? I checked the Y foil message board and found little to know pricing info. Thanks.

They are not UCI-legal for racing.

Are they still being made? Or did you mean a used one?

I am looking at a used one. Mainly because I like the way they look. I do not race at all, and am looking to pay arounf 1500-2k. I understand that they have a warranty for life. Is this true?

I don't know the details of the Y-Foil warranties, but most lifetime warranties are only good for the original owner.

Y-Foils are the kind of bikes that people either love them or they hate them. I happen to love the looks of it, and if I ever found a good deal on one in my size, I'd buy it.
