OMG ......

I go look at this "pristine bike" today and find out it has a dent on the right side and a scratched up turn signal.  The guy says it is from the previous owner who layed the bike down.  The Oil level is low.  ( no oil in the window when standing upright.  I had to tip it 10 to 20 degrees to the right to see the oil in the window at all.  It also had a possible head plug leak because there was some oil on the fins acumulating in that area.

So much for truth in advertising.  

He came down off his number of $2200 to $1800.  I told him Top KBB value was $1300 and I offered him $1200.  He turned it down.  I am actually glad he did because that was probably too much.

I buy and sell a bikes a bit...  ...and it is truly astounding how loosely the phrases "pristine condition", "like new",.. and "perfect condition"  are used...
...

... and,... for a lot of sellers,.. if the dent was there when they bought it,.. they don't count it as damage...

There was a 2006 in the local Craigslist with bags and the luggage rack and @4000 miles for $1500.  I say "was" because it only lasted a couple of days.
