At the stated 150K, I'm guessing real.

Nice deal.

No hits doing a reverse image search on the pics, that's a good sign...

How do you do a reverse image search?

Go here: https://images.google.com

Then drag the image in question into the box right below the Google logo...

    cooldude  I did the reverse search and found no repeats.  It's a good tool for checking for scams.  I just double click on a suspected picture and hit "Search Google for Image"

Learn something new every day! I never thought of doing it that way! From Chrome I just right click on an image and "Search Google for image" Much easier, thanks!

Some owners are not current on market values, and don't bother to educate themselves before listing for sale!

Skinhead let us know what you find when you see it! I saw this earlier to day and had emailed it to a friend in Monre.

Cheesy Cheesy  I was going to mention that, but thought I'd leave it alone.  Kinda humbling. Cool

  Looks like 42k hard miles, plus missing a few parts.

If it was closer to home, I'da checked it out also.  Happy hunting Skinhead.

Yo, Sinkhead, I had some dealings with that guy some years ago.
Seems he was up front in his descriptions and priced to sell quickly.

Actually, if I get it, I was gonna ax you if I could keep it at your place.  Don't have room in my garage for another bike.  Have you seen it?  Dude said it was his dad's and he wants it out of his garage.

Probably becquse it's not an interstate and is in california. 150k is nothing

Edit: after looking closer it is an interstate but missing some major parts. I'm sure it would be great it someone was looking for a bike to chop up and experiment with.

The bike in California  "has" had a tough life like someone said. It's been down and looks like it's been hit in the hind end or backed into something.  I've had my jade and black Tourer for sale for over a year now at $4800 and not even a bite. Can't figure out why, just no takers in this area.
