It takes well over an hour to get the fairings on and off that bike for a filter and oil change. There is really no excuse for a poor design like that, but $300 is still a ripoff.

An hour to get them off and another hour to get them back on plus an oil change? If that's true then $300 isn't bad

It takes an hour in total, it's a ripoff, unless they throw in a happy ending.

But then again, if people don't want to learn to do things or get their finger nails dirty, then they pay.

It's just typical kijidiot language that people cut and paste from other ads, like,

"no time to ride"
"dropped in driveway by previous owner"
"custom paint"
"too many upgrades"

Sound like you hate kijiji yet spend lots of time reading ads on there?.... If you hate those languages i dont know how you feel about watching commercials
 
There's a category worse than "abused". Oh man.

I remember once, being at L&L on an off night, and there were only three motorcycle people there. Me, a guy on a VFR, and some young man on a bike I can't remember, it probably had four cylinders. In the course of conversation the young man wanted to demonstrate something to us (maybe the sound of his bike?) so he walks over to his bike (which is cold and off), starts it, then immediately pins the throttle and violently, continuously bounces it off the rev limiter until he hears us yelling at him to not do that

Some people just don't have a clue... SMH!!!
 
Another 'abuse' category - mods that should never see the light of day:
Extended swingarm on a Ducati

30" wheel on a Harley bagger

Idk, that bagger is kinda sick.
 
Improperly stored can be a form of abuse. Not just sitting for years.

Left outside to the elements would be a concern for the internals.

I'm more concerned with machines that have a lack of mileage than those that are ridden and properly maintained.

Maybe to look at, try riding the thing. Some guys build bikes to look at, others build "daily riders".

What about burying it in the backyard for the winter?

I've seen it. Parked in the back with a cheap tarp. It's not a pretty sight when you dig them out in the spring.

Lol.

Whatever I do with them.

I can't see how any bike would cost $300 for an oil change. I was told something similar for Maserati's but they hold a ton of (expensive) oil and even that I couldn't understand how it cost so much.

I leave all mine out back with just a normal cover over them. Never had too much issue come spring except they need a boost because I also don't remove the battery. I do rust proof, though, if that makes a difference.
