I thought that beson or bison exhaust (whatever its called) was loud when you're riding the bike. Cool bike though. |

It's got no rear brake, I know they don't work well, but it ought to be there. It looks like the RH side of the swingarm is also longer then the LH. |

What a freakin' abortion. I don't whether to laugh my ass off or cry. He admits it started as a pristine S1, THEN he did that to it. Four bids, $7K and they're all the same bidder. Anybody want to bet that it won't actually sell? |

There was probably a reserve, and he bid multiple times until he hit it. |

Sorry, but that bike makes me want to take it away from the hack that did it, and FIX IT. |

looks like he made the swingarm longer for the license plate. |

Exactly. And if you believe the feedback of that bidder (3), I don't think it's actually going to change hands. He was just nudging the reserve until it broke. |

Jeez... If you are going to do that to a nice bike, don't ever plan on selling it. And for God's sakes, don't ever think that you have talent and will pull a profit from it. |

Concur. Another nice bike ruined. |

It closed with no more bids. So, which was it: He had a fake ID and he was shilling his own auction, trying to build excitement? or Some kid in his mom's basement poked the reserve to see what it was and has no intention of paying? |

No rear brake I know some states only require you have one but I have needed all both could give on several occasions! Don't hit a bump zero ground clearance as soon as the suspension compresses off with the shock looks built for show only |
