Da fuq? Preserved for future laughs "the bike has just over 220.000km on it which is nothing on a bike for it's age. The same bike complete online is going for between $3500-$4800.$1,345.00 is a small price to pay to have a sweet bike. "

What 30+ year old bike with 220,000 km of any brand has sold recently for $4,800, yet alone a shadow? Yikes. Must be on some good meds for the shoulder injury.
 
lol... thought it was a typo, but he typed it twice - body of the ad, and the description. His email 'withes.hubbie@gmail.com'

He is not doing anything, but SHE is willing to trade. Owner is a female, hence the PINK parts. Owner is listed as TANYA...lol

Even bone stock with zero miles and certified that bike is worth $2500 at most.

From what I've noticed, most ads on Kijiji are significantly overpriced these days. Decently priced ones don't last more than a few days, and are typically outside Toronto/GTA.

Just to name a few that I've been watching for friends ...

Some Duc Monster 696s from 2009-2011 are listed for 7-10k

2015 Honda cb300s for 4k+

2017+ Honda Rebel 300s for 4.5-5k+
 
So maybe someone can explain this to me?

Back in the fall I was aggressively shopping for this same bike.
I inquired about this one because hey it’s new, it’s the colour I wanted, 0km and it’s a non current. So should be able to get a deal no?
$17,000 no deal
They have two left even. One grey and one orange
Why are they asking so much for 5 year old bikes?

I ended up with a 2015 with a bunch of nice accessories for under $13,000 and it only had 12,000km on it. I’m not sure it had ever seen dirt.
I didn’t even think I got that good of a deal to be honest.
There were plenty in that range.
But these two stood out to me and low and behold still for sale.
 
I have talked to them once or twice and I don't think that that place knows a lot about bikes. My concern about the bike that interested you is that I believe that they are no longer a KTM dealer and where would that leave you in terms of warranty?

On a 5 year old used motorcycle?
Desperately hoping that no defects in the original manufacturers materials or workmanship suddenly reveals itself.

Ouch, I wouldn't go that far. These are hard to come by in good condition

They have the same problem any used 1000cc superbike does - they aren't any cheaper to insure than a new one. And generally the market that would be most interested in a used superbike does not fall into a favourable insurance bracket to begin with

No problem then because it's a manufacturers warranty not the dealers. You still have the same challenge to prove it was a defect in materials or workmanship unless it is covered under a factory recall.
Add: you better have a warranty registration card to send to the distributor indicating the date of purchase of this new old stock motorcycle.

This is where the dealer is Not doing you any favours to uncrate and dealer prep the bike before it is sold.

... nice golf cart, that thing must make wicked sharp left turns ;)

When he had his shoulder replacement they must have accidentally severed his brain stem.
