Crashed Ninjette on Craiglist for sale - funny ad
I think this guy hits the trifecta. Or quadfecta. New ninjette, 2 months old. Wheelies with a passenger, breaks the bike badly. Hurts the passenger. No insurance. And financed the entire thing, and somehow owes $5500 on a $3500 bike, and expects people to pay $5500 for a bike with thousands of dollars of work necessary to get it back to new condition. Hope the passenger is alright, but it's hard to have too much empathy for the rider.

yeah, but he at least had yellow rim tape on it (on a black bike???), so he was at least cool looking as he destroyed his bike.
poor gf. I heard kawi was going to start administering IQ tests to prospective 250 new bike owners? There go half their potential sales. |

Some folks have emailed the seller, and he has expanded on why he's asking for $5500 via email replies:

In many cases, insurance isn't required. On those credit-card like motorcycle loans, it's not really a vehicle loan. It's a line of credit that you used to buy a motorcycle. The company could care less what you do with the bike once you put the $ onto that line of credit. But no matter what you do with the bike, you'll be paying that line of credit until it's gone, even if the bike is already gone years before. Of course anyone that owes $$$$ on a bike and doesn't budget for insurance clearly didn't think things through...
