I don't know either the OP or Mikey. That said:
In the ad it lists a few aftermarket parts and then states the rest is stock. To me, body work from another year and replaced major parts like wheels and frame that are OEM ....may in fact technically be stock parts, but the bike isn't "stock". To me stock means that it's the way it came originally. My interpretation at any rate. I'd call it a lie of omission. It's more important what was revealed to a potential buyer before purchase.
Face to face? Last bike I bought was a 5hr. round trip. I'd be a little cheesed off if, at the 2.5hr. mark of my excellent adventure, I were told "oh by the by, this sweet ride you fancy was a near write off only a few short days ago still interested?"
The OP keeps going on about how the ad is full of lies. I don't see any lies.
IMO a lot of people are stupid when it comes to bikes. A lot of people think bikes are delicate flowers and if they fall over in a parking lot there will be something wrong with it.
Frankly, based on the description I read I see a newly assembled bike with lots of new/good/straight parts along with whatever was usable/good/straight parts from the old bike. The old bike that was crashed and heavily damaged is gone and it doesn't exist anymore. The bike that's being sold is not the same bike that the OP crashed.
True Story. A friend of mine crashed and almost completely destroyed a brand new ZX14 at deals gap back in 2009. The only things we could really salvage from it were the motor and electronics. We sourced a ZX14 from Quebec that was used by the company that builds those silly TRex things. They remove the electronics and the motor then sell the rest of the bike whole. We bought one of those rolling chassis bikes and installed our good motor and electronics. Did that new(er) ZX14 ever crash into a guard rail at 120kph down in NC? Was that new ZX14 ever down? No.
Our rebuild scenario sounds a lot like this one.... the only difference being that the VIN did not remain the same.
You were supposed to come and bring your 675R for me to look at, then you could look at my 10R too. Then you stopped replying and never showed up.... who are you to discuss other people's strength of character?
Like I wrote above. The bike that was crashed doesn't exist anymore. The bike in the OPs screen capture is a completely different bike that just happens to have the same VIN.
Because a dropped and fixed bike won't ride straight? Not as fast? Won't turn right?
MM has tons of cbr's at any given time. He knows that specific bike in and out. I trust a bike from him over 99% of the kijiji sellers[/QUOTE]
Mike has done me NO wrong, he has been nothing but great!!!
Once a bike is sold it doesn't matter what is done with it...
That would be like me bitching that I sold my bike to a guy, then he sells it for $500 more than what I got.
Plus MM has CBR parts out the wahoo. He is fully capable of rebuilding the old bike out of other wrecked bikes and making it look like new.
That's his talent and living..
You accepted his money, he paid in full. The bike is no longer yours.
MM has got me parts and bailed me out of predicaments when he wasn't "obligated " to.
Sorry you feel like you got burned, next time go out rebuild it yourself with your own spare parts and then sell it.
Thank you ; Mikey Moto, Blue Streak Racing, JT Sprockets, HiFlo Filters, Cycle Pro, Dyno-Jet. For your help and support.

I see what you're saying but let's not be so cavalier with other peoples money. ZX14 is going to cost a bit of money, it might even be somebody's dream bike. You respond to the Kijiji ad, everything looks great(it is) but your spidy sense forces a few questions. "Oh ya, the only thing left of the original bike is motor and electronics we slid that into a Quebec roller tabernac, me and the boys buttoned it up just last night. You don't think that's going to change the complexion of the proceedings? I believe something like that should be disclosed up front because the assumption from looking at the ad is clean low mileage and original. I'm saying that as a guy who's easily hoodwinked so I may be biased.

Would you go to see a bike 5 hrs away without calling and asking all those questions??????
would you go see any bike without that phone call and asking those questions?

you say your a guy who's easily hoodwinked... Sometimes it's the people who your used to dealing with that give you the wrong sense of security... In today's market it seems more and more crooks are around, it seems to me that Mikey has done nothing wrong and could probably help you look at your next bike so your not screwed. Have you ever spoken to him? Matter of fact anyone posting **** about him hasn't said anything about him from their dealings???????
So ALL the guys talking **** let's hear it or shut the **** up
