So they could slap on nobbish tires? Because I really don't see the difference between this and bikes with the name scrambler. But I'm a moto rookie.

No worries, I hear ya, never hurts to look.
Yes it’s sold. A bit less than I was hoping but it’s done and gone.

Here is your chance to be a baller and still have a cool ride.
Sell the GTI, buy your dream Sportster (while keeping the Scrambler) and do this your the Odyssey. Best of all worlds.
Towing those toys around may be an issue but with 2 bikes, you can just leave one at the cottage so no need to trailer it there.

I don't like crap like this " five-gallon fuel tank that is said to have been lined with Bill Hirsch tank sealer in preparation for the sale.". Such a cop-out. Inspect with a camera, look at documentation, make an actual statement.Here's character, I think......only 15 minutes until end of auction.

That's BAT.
The owner told them it was lined, but BAT cannot prove it, has no interest in proving it, so to avoid liability BAT lists it as "assumed"
BAT makes a show of proving providence, but really does nothing. It's 100% on the seller.
In my dealings with selling at BAT, they know nothing about bikes. I was selling a Norton with factory upgrades, and there was NO WAY in the world they would list them as factory.
The 3rd or 4th comment on the sale noticed the factory upgraded shocks, knew the only way to get those shocks was on a new Norton from the factory in 1956 and mentioned it. THANK YOU.
A few years ago a guy bought a '69 Hemi Cuda on BAT, paid LARGE for it. Got the car and it was a POS, bodged together, NOT a hemi car (that ones on the buyer, you can check the VIN).
BAT refunded his buyer's premium, and said GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
BAT auctioned off a '70 Challenger, with this GREAT story about the car being a street racing hero from back in the day in Detroit. GREAT STORY, street racing black cop that was a local celeb, guy dies and his son drags his car out of the garage after 40 years. all that heart warming crap. There was a bunch of pictures, a couple of real professional Youtube clips... the WHOLE show. It was a BAT 'Premier" auction, tons of press. LOTS of hype.
The problem was: it was all BS. Almost all of the story was fiction. Everyone KNEW it BS, I wasn't following THAT closely and I knew it was BS (they were claiming their stock Hemi challenger smoked a Z1 Camero... NOT A HOPE. 13.5 sec car vs a 10.5 sec car) It was all over the car forums.
BAT pushed the sale through anyway.
After BAT, the story got better, and the car got flipped at Mecums for $975,000, and all of a sudden Dodge makes a 2023 Black Ghost hemi Challenger.
It was a BS advertising campaign for a new model Dodge, start to finish, that BAT was in on, and got paid for. There WAS a guy named Godfrey Qualls, he WAS a black cop street racer from Detroit, he DID own a '70 Challenger, SOME people DID called it "The Black Ghost"... after that it's all ad copy.
OH... and in BAT's seller's contract, it say IF it is a reserve sale, and doesn't meet reserve (BAT's reserve prices are ALWAYS ridiculously low) BAT gets first refusal at reserve price. BAT owns a warehouse full of cars that didn't make low reserve.
