Re: ebay bike ripoffs?
I like to **** with them. I always have random crazy questions. Just ask for a number. THEY WILL NOT GIVE IT TO YOU or a name. Ask for pics or something specific like one of the guys said above with a pic of him and the bike from a new angle.

Re: ebay bike ripoffs?
20k miles on a bike isn't that bad.....at all....you figure someone who rides all season long and sometimes more....That could be anywhere from 2000 - 4000 a season...so given 20k on the bike, it might be 4 years old which still in no means is old...it might not be old, but it still might be beat.... I'd take an 01' Gixxer that has 15,000 miles driven and maintained properly, over a 03'Gixxer that was absolutly beat to Sh*t
