Id stay away from both, the first one was miserable all together, just a disgusting looking bike, is pay 500 for the top one. The second was a bit sketchy looking as well, plus the guys name is CRUSTY???? WTF is that? It also looked like it was about to fall over.....just my opinion though

just FYI alekinci...that VIN STICKER on the frame is not needed...your vin is STAMPED onto the frame....just want to make sure that the nonsense that if the VIN sticker on the side of the bike is missing, it doesn't have a VIN....i took mine off purposely.....

as for the second bike...doesn't look bad, but they are not close up pictures...just make sure to do a thorough inspection and you'll be fine...best of luck...hope we can help in the future

After everything, decided it was not worth the trouble and I'd rather dish out some more money and get something that won't become a headache. I'm going later tonight to check out this bike, negotiated down to $3.5k w/ some gear included (helmet/boots/jacket).

Bringing a buddy a long with me to test ride it and make sure everything's cool. Clean title, and only been dropped in the garage once. I'm excited!

Looks much better - You'll find it's way more fun to ride than work on it.

Enjoy!

Got the bike last night!! Bike looked GREAT, only been dropped once in the garage and had a little scuff on the right side, other than that it was immaculate. Paid $3500 and it only needed a new battery. Going to run some maintenance work on it and all is well. Took it for a spin last night, can't wait to get back out on it again today! Thanks for everyones help!
