750 would be a decent deal, but 900 isn’t any more. Where are you located, is there no local market? A lot of bikes will go from decent deal to no thank you if you include shipping costs…

750 plus shipping would be a no from me. Assuming you get it reassembled at a shop that is another 100-200. 105 build, aluminum wheels with carbon fairings, wide handlebars is not impressive enough to consider shipping the bike.
If you do go down the road of shipping make sure they have the bike. Ask to have them shift into specific gears, valve stems pointed at a specific time, eg. 2 o’clock, crank arms pointed in a similar manner or other way of modifying the bike to show possession.

GTRs are good whips

Shipped bikes can easily be scams. If you pay by PayPal do not accept [friends and family](https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/what-are-%E2%80%98friends-and-family%E2%80%99-payment-scams-help1165). Don’t use an escrow account suggested by the seller.
