What do you think is wrong with it?

This thing is going for at LEAST $1K less than it's worth. Given that and the "fresh fluids" title, what do you think is wrong with it? Mechanical issues or stolen?

I see ads like that all the time, I always assume stolen and pass over it

I've seen that exact add in the b'more classfields

"I have done a bunch of work to it. It has about 6500 miles."

Ask yourself why a 6500 mile 2013 bike would have needed "a bunch of work"

Doing a reverse google image search shows the pic all over the internet, so it's some random image that was grabbed off google. Scam.

Yeah, if it ever comes back on a reverse GIS, then it's not an original image. We had a dude trying to sell a gsxr here for ~2600 with the same sort of popular image, with multiple angles to make it look legit.

I can't believe this, you mean there's bad people out there just like my mom warned me?

Never even thought of doing that. That'll teach me to browse CL at 3AM!

As much as it sucks to hear it, if the deal isn't quite right, it isn't quite right.

How do you do a reverse Google Image search? It'll be helpful when I look for another bike in the future.

Just search for the URL of the image and click the link that says "search by image" in the results.
