No ****-ups I can see. Colour's wrong, and he admitted it.

Non-stock exhaust (looks like a Marshall).

Painted guards front and rear instead of chrome.

Looks like a head gasket leak on the left-hand side. Hard to tell.

Speedo is off a 250 - that means the mileage is wrong. That's the biggie
I can see.

Crap illiterate description.

But I've seen worse bikes go for more money.

Strange, that. Major spelling mistakes are common as muck, but they're
usually vaguely phonetically correct. But 'trieding' & 'bryer' are
just... well I don't know what they are.

Perhaps the seller is dyslexic, or just allowed the typing fingers to act
without engaging the services of the brain. Or maybe he just asked his
4-yr-old son to do it.
