Price isn't awful, but it reads like a train wreck.

Claims of spending $10-15 grand in upgrades and maintenance...

Lower fairings ripped off at speed because the mechanic didn't attach them properly?

Some crazy lady came on his property and pushed over the bike?

Maintenance:
Spark plugs and install $300
Fuel system service, full chain clean and service, the side of the engine where chain runs fully cleaned no grease present: $500

It goes on and on.

So some evil lady came over, lifted bike from side stand, folded up the side stand and dropped it. Or she pushed it from behind until it fell over.

It COULD happen I suppose, but really who cares how it happened. It doesn't lessen the impact or improve the appearance.

I did learn something from the ad; taking your bike to the dealer for simple, regular maintenance is ridiculously expensive. A $250 oil change? How much oil fits into a GSXR600?

$250 sounds cheap.
About 4L, a filter and a crush washer.
How much is labour/ hour in a shop theses days?

My last oil change on my Vulcan (about 5L of full synthetic oil plus a qualty Wix filter) took me a total of 15 minutes and cost me about $60.

I'll keep doing my own maintenance and put that other $190 in the tank to put more wind in my face.

The only time my bikes see a dealer is for recalls.

Being on here you're amongst a high percentage of motorcyclists and you tend to forget there are a lot of people out there that are motorcycle riders.

Recalls or for stuff that I do not know how to / trust myself to do — Timing chains, engine internals etc.

No such thing as a drz450.

Owner went to jail for a year?

Being sold by a friend.

Ownership? Doubtful.

Whipped DRZ400 - no year or mileage (hours). I'll give him $300 if he can produce keys and an ownership.
