I hear that it does 80 mph in 3rd gear.

Bad pipe wrap.

New Excel rims and spokes with oxidized hubs for that Mad Max look!!

He really deserves our attention...he's knowing how you can easily recoup every penny you put into a bike and all that styling and hipstershek  is worth so much more than the measly bit his underpriced bike is asking for this quick sale...

But that ad gave me a good laugh  ;D I'm with you all the way on the hipstershek, I feel sorry for the poor 350F trying to get out from underneath all that "customisation"

I'm impressed by his editing and writing skills...clearly a product of NYC 's finest public schools. It shows he has read his handiwork on his phone.  That fine example of a new 4 into 1 covered in pipewrap...that must add 5bp at the rear wheel given the higher exhaust velocities achieved by the heat retained in the header pipes...
Those stainless spokes and Excel rims do look much nicer than that oxidized hub...they are in sharp contrast. 
I do wonder what tone those extra parts sounds like, is it like a bell, a guitar, drum, or a hollow 55 gallon drum?
The 350 tank was unique to have side panels...oh, he means he has the maroon tank and maroon side covers.  I guess I am not down with the hipster lingo.

To make it sell even quicker he needs to add that classic line seen so often, Ran when parked.

It only needs one thing, a new owner.

Oh man, you missed some good laughs! He would constantly go on about how great he was, how beautiful his wife "The Model" was, and that we were only allowed to answer his questions without injecting any of our own opinions. If he didn't like the answer he would keep asking until he got the answer he wanted or else he would start foaming at the mouth and start insulting people. At one point he actually insulted every member on this forum and even turned "rabid dog from hell" on members that had showed incredible restraint and had bent over backwards to try and help the guy.  ::)

Good times...  ;)  ;D

The worn area of a tire. You can tell by looking at the tire that it has never seen a lean angle, only straight down the middle of the road/tread riding.

I live in Oklahoma, and the whole state was platted as a grid no matter what the terrain included. All the tires wear that way here.

It probably could use a fork brace, but with an anti-gravity battery you probably just use it for making short trips back and forth to the mother ship.

He should use a match test  to make sure  that puddle around it isn't  gas leaking.

 The mods on the XS650 forum coddle him for some reason. Even though several members have complained about him and called him out.
 He also claimed he had over $5000 in the bike and gave it to his mechanic or the guy who built it or something. Because, you know, he's so philanthropic and all. Either he's lying or his buddy is taking advantage of his generosity and making a quick buck off him.
 And I GUARANTEE you he's lurking here and reading this.

Nice find Don. I'm still waiting for the day I see a flash of glitter and bedazzled crocodile shoes as he rides by me in Brooklyn.

A fellow SOHC4 forum pointed this listing out to me last evening.  I about coughed up my coffee laughing. 

Remember, this is the guy who actually told us he did 80 mph on the expressway in 3rd gear on this bike. 

When asked why he laced new rims and spokes to oxidized hubs, he actually responded that he was purposefully going for a Mad Max look

He also reminded all of us how tremendously wealthy he is, so I am not sure why he "must sell ASAP."

I agree with Scott.  He's lurking out there.  I wonder if he'll call Cal and ask for more help.

 I think it was 80 mph in second gear "with video to prove it, but I'm not going to post the video because I don't have to prove anything!".

 The price really isn't that bad for a running 350F, with the rims and extra bodywork, etc. If you're into that style of bike.
