"First to come closest takes it."

That would mean that the first bid regardless of price would be the closest and would take it.  Offer him $1 and it's the FIRST, and CLOSEST.

I bet his girlfriend/mom is making him sell it. She has no idea how to price a bike, so he sets an unreasonable price so it won't sell.


Smart. ;)

So, if it had the stock seat and fenders, with that paint it would be a $1500 bike or so, with the "rebuild" he did on the engine.   
So adding a brat seat is really the best bang for your buck when doing bike improvements.

And if you go back the stock airbox you can get them tuned in probably a half hour.

It's a $6,000 seat.  If you haven't sat upon it, you wouldn't understand.
