He is very honest, reliable, fast, inexpensive, and easy to deal with.As always, do a pre-inspection of ANY bike you ride or have it inspected prior to riding if you are unfamiliar with motorcycles. I am not desperate to sell, am not a dealer, I don't do this for a living, I'm an enthusiast. If you'd like any detailed photos of a specific area of the bike, just ask! I have many photos of it but will be glad to take more if needed. Please ask any questions you like before bidding. You will be answered quickly and honestly. I will not sugarcoat anything for the sake of a few extra dollars and am not in the business to screw anyone. With all the bikes I own or have owned over the years, I know how disappointing it is when someone over-sells a bikes condition so you may be sure I won't do that to you. I have disclosed and will gladly provide photos of all known defects for your inspection. Deposit is non-refundable so be sure before you bid. Again, this bike comes with a Notarized Bill of Sale from Pennsylvania. Most states will let you obtain a title with this notarized Bill of Sale. This bike, like most of these, does not come with a title. It's an incredible little bike, though and will serve you well as long as you own it! This baby needs nothing but a rider!
