About this example

The seller presents this motorcycle as a project or non-runner, so its appeal rests on the model, completeness and possibilities rather than a claim that it is ready to ride. The seller highlights a one-owner history, original paint, matching-number wording, a clear or clean title, 4,147 stated miles and a stated non-running condition. These are useful clues, but the photographs and paperwork should still be checked carefully.
