Great ad, wish I would've posted that for the CBR. Some guy came today, kicked the tires, offered me $150...
Selling it to a friend as a track bike for $500, but that's because he's a great friend who needs a track bike so he doesn't have a track/street bike (he rides fast at the track and likes to crash even more than I do!)

Did he literally kick the tires? lol

[tcormier]

He literally kicked the tires.

And then was surprised when I told him some of the stuff that I mentioned in the ad.... reading comprehension fail.

BTW - I have a friend who flips Gold Wings as a side business (he can't stand riding them, but says they are a good market). He swears that the best selling tool is a nicely done YouTube video showing the bike from all angles, then cold startup, revving the engine, showing the oil level, etc.

That's a funny ad, but will it work?

I fail miserably at selling stuff. I sold the EN-125 for about $1200, it was a 2010 bike with 2,000 miles on the clock. One month later, a girl I know that also rode an EN-125 sold her bike, another 2010 BUT with 8,000 miles, for $1400. Not only she got more money out of the same bike, her bike had also more miles, it was in worse condition and to add salt to the injury, it took me two months to sell my friends bike, she sold her in a week.
