   Another one of those "HD investment" fools who probably has not looked at the prices on motorcycles since he bought that and sent it to the dealer with a blank check for shiney stuff.

$1000 service? Must have had to pull the motor to change the oil, or put a fresh wax job on the piston tops.

I didn't see what year the bike was.  $17,500 might be doable if it isn't too old.

I had to laugh at the "search terms" he used. He wants exposure!   LMAO!

if the bike's less than a couple years old and low miles (i'm guessing close to none) and the custom work is close to what a buyer likes, i wouldn't think $17500 is too far out of line.
just sayin.

I just read the first 3 search terms, and puked a little in my mouth. Wish it could have been on his bike instead...

Then again, maybe only the rich fools that buy Mercedes and Rolexes have the $ these days to buy a 'show bike'. :wink:
Considering I picked up my 'show bike' for under 7k...

Looks like an EVO cam cover to me.  Then again pic is pretty small/blurry so who knows.

If I was looking to buy a new one (which I'm not), I would think you would get a lot more value from this bike than a new stock bike at the same money. Especially if you were determined to load it up with shiny bling anyhow.

That timer cover sort of looks like one of those Kury looking objects with the lights that go round and round.

Trades will be considered.....hmmmm I wonder if he'll consider a 1995 Ford F150 with a 180K on it.....runs great!!!

wow, what a buncha meanies :wink: For custom paint (if its really special), PM wheels, motor work, etc. that doesn't seem unreasonable to me. I always chuckle when I hear folks talking down to metric riders about the high value retention of our Harleys yet don't want that to apply when they BUY one :hyst: It would've helped if there was more info on the bike itself, but I'm sure a serious inquiry would take care of that. Even if the owner does turn out to be some yuppie dork I don't see that making a difference on what the bike is worth. Must be PMS* setting in for all of us in the frozen north :teeth:

what Scurvy, doesn't your local dealer have Marble columns?   :crook:


I saw two things noticeably absent in the listing, year and milage.   :dgust:  If it was an '07 and up, price is a little high but could be inline based on the accsy's.    Didn't list the year or the milage, but didn't forget to put this in the BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Jeep, NASCAR, Indy, 400, Tickets, Concert, tools, 4X4, ATV, Honda, Yamaha, Truck, Harley, Davidson, Racing, Motorcycle, Ultra, Cellular, Toyota, rock, Hybrid, Antique, Rolex, News, Country, music, Diesel sections? that's a whole lot of spam.....

He should have put it in the hooker section-prolly would have sold right away. ;)

Probably some guy that got killed in the market and no longer can justify his garage trinket.  I'm thinking this is a boutique dealer advertisement and not an individual based on the pic and since they didn't list any of the important stuff like year and engine details.  We used to have one of these used exotic car dealers around here that sometimes had bikes.  They don't know the first thing about bikes so they can't even do an add right.  If they had listed some important details it may very well be with $17K to someone.

QuoteI'm thinking this is a boutique dealer advertisement and not an individual ....

What an excellent observation!  I just bet that you are correct. An individual likely would not have spammed all of the other selling catagories.

Yeah, but I bet they knew how much the going price was.

I bet eagle is right!

there are a few exotic car consignment places in Bellevue WA, those bikes and cars will sit on the floor with an over bloated price for months on end. The Shelby we had was one of those, it sat there for four months with a fat price (for the time) we kept looking at it with interest, dealer told us to make an offer because they were gonna tell the owner to sell it or take it home, we made a very very low offer and he took it!...good deal for us!

Ok just follow me here   maybe    just maybe   the bike is free and you are
paying for the accessories  :rtfb:

Why would someone put a hydrolic (as opposed to hydraulic, if it really even has one he ought to know how to spell it then) clutch in a bike that has a fine mechanical clutch to begin with?  Ya think he's lookin fer a sucker, maybe?
