I found this on ebay. Don't know how I really like it, but it is different.

It looks to me like Ultraman's bike...

Very unique - I think it's quite beautiful. I think that guy put a lot of work and thought into that rolling work of art. Now, it's not for me - I don't like things that "flashy", but I think it's gorgeous - for the right person.

Looks to me like it was wrecked. The back end is out of alignment and the license plate light is all chewed up.

It's definitely an interesting color scheme though.

Edit* and there's a dent on the left side of the tank. He should have put money into frame sliders instead of paint.

Edit again* There sure is a lot of money rolling around the area that that guy lives.

Also if you look at the picture of the odo it actually says 9631 miles unless my eyes are screwed up and the ad says 963 miles.

Wow. 9000 miles on an 05 in Ohio. That's impressive.

Maybe he thinks is 963.1? As far as I know, the ODO doesn't display partial miles, only the trip meters do.

Edit yet again* We have coolant level readouts on our display? Since when is the FZ LIGHTER than the R6? A 600 perfect for a beginner (it's close to GOOD for a beginner, but far from perfect)?

The odo doesn't do parts of miles you are corect. Also look at the picture of the wheel that shows the chain it looks like the chains is rusted to me.

+1 on Ultraman

From the pics of the other bikes in the shop and various parts lying around on the floor, the bent up back end, rust on the chain, ect.... I'd bet that he buys wrecked bikes and resells them.

 

[klouseau]

The right hand turn signals (looking from the back) are drooping..and the left hand bar end is all scraped up. Defintely been in an accident. When you look at the FZ6's back rear fender, the above poster is right, the whole tail section looks bent, likely the sub frame.

I think its a crime that he has not disclosed the accident damage.

One of the last pics also shows a black sport bike with the front fairing smashed. This guy must buy wrecked bikes and fix them up. I would never pay $6500 for a used bike with damage when I can walk into a dealership and pay that for a brand new bike out the door.

 

[DavidHopkins]

class, like it (but make it silver not chrome)

 

[ChesterMaddox]

There is also a dent in the left side of the gas tank.

 

[sdm1177]

Is that Ultraman? He looks like a PowerRanger (I only know that because of the commercials I've seen....).

I just emailed him about that. nfloor :bitchslap :banana

His response to me:

the bike was not in wreck the title is clean the guy thught the kickstand was down and it wasn't fell right over and was picked right up this bike has been to a yamaha dealer here to be checked out and everything is good on it and no it is not illegal if it was in a wreck that's why ebay let's buyers ask questions

There's no way it was just dropped. There's WAY too much damage for that (especially the SCUFF on the frame below the dent on the tank)

The ad also doesn't say it was dropped either (that does make a differnce to some).

Very good point. I would hope that anyone looking at buying it would pay close enough attention to the details to see it rather than seeing *OOH SPARKLEY*.

 

[Fuzz Bomb]

All he's missing is this: http://www.hotrodsetc.net/motorcycleflamekit.htm

That would perfect the setup. Plus I think it would look really great with underseat exaust. (Yeeha!)

 

[ChesterMaddox]

i BET THE 2 GUYS WHO HAVE BID ON IT ARE ONLY LOOKING AT THE PRETTY PICTURES.
DID YOU GUYS SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE ODO READING?

I just emailed him about the mileage by the time we get done with him he is going to remove the bike from ebay.

 

[Metric]

Here is what I received:


it is not a salvage bike it has a clean title it is just a half farring bike
and i took a picture of the speedo to show the miles on this bike .
