That's just the outside of it. He literally JUST finished it. Put over 2200 in it and majority of it was in the motor putting new seals and bearings in it. It needs to be tuned but it's a decent-ish bike. Has new maier plastics, fmf gold e.c., worx front shocks, new itp holeshots, new rims front and back. It just looks crappy cause he's 16 and rushed through it (I'm 17 but I take pride in my work).

Well I didn't get the bike. He called me up today wanting to know if my mom was at work so she could order him a gas tank for his truck he's been building cause he sold the bike. He sold it to some pot heads he said and he got 800 for it. Oh well, just means I have a decent-ish set of stock plastics for sale now lol

That sucks, but it could be a blessing in disguise...

Here's where profiling is legal and comes into play: If the current owner is not mechanically inclined, and the bike looks thrashed, and is parked outside a garage thats a total disaster area, then its probably a major turd. Don't spend more than a couple hundred bucks on it because thats about all the value in parts you are going to get. Everything else will need replaced/reworked.

A blessing for me maybe but I'm kinda worried that someone might get hurt on it if they don't know how to ride a bike like that.. I know it's nothing I can do but still ya know.
