This was a few weeks ago, but I thought it was cool. The bike has the stock motor and suspension, but the wheels are super trick still.

That would be pretty cool.  Worth mentioning, the graphics look like they were installed by someone who should not be installing graphics Blink

I did notice that lol. It is a shame because the graphics hold some of the better value on the bike as being actually unique.

I believe it was an acquaintance of Eli's that got ahold of this bike after it was decommissioned from practice use. I should have gotten a photo of the frame. It has a special production serial number on it. The guy who owns it doesn't ride, and wanted to sell it. It's being sold through a dealership about an hour away from the Tomac ranch give or take.

Yeah a lot of the bike was returned to stock. I want to twist the throttle on a factory bike at least once in my life.

For me, the wear and tear a pro puts on his practice bike would far outweigh any intangible value having "Eli's bike" would have. Pass.

People want pro bikes for the parts, not for sniffing seats. Someone that buys this is a seat sniffer.
