Saw the bike on cycle trader. called the dealer, and asked questions about it. asked for additional photos and they were sent. told about some minor paint chips and scratches and was promised that all would be addressed with some parts swapout with another bike that they had. asked for a 6 month warranty and was denied.they promised that they would fix all problems and that the bike was running good. Main items that I was told about was a small paint chip on the tank and the side covers had some minor scratching. Left rear tail light housing had some minor scratching of the plastic chrome. Bike was bought on a contract(more on this later) at the beginning of the month. I was never told that the deliver co. could take up to 21 days to deliver the bike after they picked it up on the 4th. Bike showed up at night in the middle of a snow storm. Couldn't get it started at first. finally got it going, but it was running on 2 and then three cyl's. pulled the bike into the garage and signed the delivery paperwork. THEN I started to get into the bike and really look it over. I wouldn't even pay 1/3 the price for this bike. Short list: lower forks corroded,uppers rust pitted, even the plastic chrome on the speedo is all bubbled off as if it was subjected to heat. Tank paint is totally fu#ked with a pea sized rust spot buy the filler cap. auto petcock not mounted, since the mount is missing, and just sitting on top of the cyl head. overflow/vent tube missing and even the bolt that holds the tank on is not metric. once the tank and side covers are off, the bike looks like it sat outside for a year after being run off road through some fields. Side cover rubbers all rip up. fork lock looks like someone tried to rib off the bike(lock missing and housing all beat to hell) fairing protecting rubber missing. rear wheel heavily corroded. that left rear turn signal not touched. frame is missing lots of paint in a lot of places that it shouldn't be. tool kit was there, but I haven't checked it yet for it's contents. owners manual missing. and this is just from my precursory inspection. But that was enough for me to reject the bike. now the best part. The contract that I signed had the vin # on it of the other bike that they had and were going to pull parts off of. didn't catch it until I got the title sent to me and realized the discrepancy. so in reality, the contract that i sign was for a different bike that what I received. that alone should be legal tender for a voided contract. so we will see what happens tomorrow. i called last night and left a message for them to call me. as for the dealers name...i will just say that they are in big bend, wi If they don't cooperate, I will name them here and everywhere.
