PSA. BARFers beware of this bike.

[angelsndevils]

The guy that I share my shop with is heading down to San Jose to trade this R6 for a fishing boat. When he got this bike it was a complete wreck (the only plastic on it that wasnt destroyed was front fender) and should hold a salvage title but was never reported. It has been wrecked multiple times. The sub frame is welded very poorly and is cracking in a new spot. It eats batteries. He also complained about strange transmission noises and shifts. The only reason why it looks half way decent is because he slapped on one of those Chinese fairing kits off of eBay. The guy who is getting it has not been able to sell his boat so he is trading for the bike because he thinks it will be easier to sell. If this bike shows up on Craigslist you have been warned. I got some quick pics including the plate number.

Sounds just like every other R6 on C/L.

If you can't fix it properly economically, then part the damn thing out. How much more money is the seller going to see from selling it after "fixing" it like that vs parting it out. Is that money worth somebody's freaking life :mad.

Good on ya OP for the PSA.

opcorn There is potential in this thread.

Hes getting a boat for it. Sounds like he's going to be punished enough.

That was exactly my first thought. :laughing but once I heard it was heading down to the BARF area I figured it was my duty to put out the word.

 

[RightCoastBias]

Your coworker sounds like a scumbag. Assuming he didn't tell the boat guy about all the problems.

 

[angelsndevils]

He just now left. Such a penny pincher he is going across the Richmond bridge on the way there and through SF on the way back so he won't have to pay the toll.

THAT is fucking retarded...plus if hes going to san jose why would have to pay anyway?

Coulda sworn there was a toll heading into SF on both bridges.

Exactly, by this time next year, he'll be a footnote in some Coast Guard incident report.

 

[angelsndevils]

That $6 to get across the GG bridge is a real killer!:rolleyes He will probably use more $$$ in gas going through the east bay since he is driving a mid 90's chevy 1 ton dually w/ 454 gas engine.:laughing

 

[Abyss]

That sounds like an awesome plan.

In bizarro world.

Question, why did you share a shop with this guy in the first place? If he's this shady, I wouldn't of trusted him to have access of my stuff (in the shop). Just wondering.

 

[JimE]

You never know. Lots of folks are weird like that. Won't *actually* steal anything but will pull a stunt like this on some poor uninformed buyer. I'm a contractor see it all the time....

Biggest mistake ever. At the time it seemed like a good idea to share rent/utilities. Now I'm just waiting for his bs to catch up with him to a point where he loses his ass and has to leave.

 

[akacastle]

Angelsndevils^^^I get it, yeah sometimes you never know. Glad your hands are washed of this guy and his antics.

All scraped and oxidized. Hacked wires everywhere. Partially disassembled drive on one of the motors. Good luck out on the open seas.
