Words / phrases that instantly put you off a used bike advert

If it's an mx bike, biggest red flag word is "used" 

I saw this the other day. 
“brand new crank, engine sounds nasty when running, starts 1st kick, engine locked up”

Or, better yet, the ole classic BORTED... a perfect melding of Bored and Ported.  Sometimes spelled BOARDED, as in Boarded out 50 over !!!!

Or, when you really know you're dealing with a badass bike - The JUG is PUNCHEDD OUT !!!

We have a lot of "perfect condition, washed and greased after every ride", down here...

Generally translates into "not a single part ever changed".

"250R." 

I mean, I know EVERYTHING Honda has ever made was a 250R, but come on, tell me what it is. CR250R? CRF250R, ATC250R, TRX250R? 

Holy crap, there's a lot going on in that one simple line of text. 

OT: Will trade for quad, or [insert useless item]

I found the post, I was a little off, but it’s better than I remembered. Lol

-Just needs carb tune

-first heat cycle done, too many projects need gone

-wheelies in all (5/6) gears

-not for beginners 

-250 bored out to a 400 (or other equally ridiculous statement)

-James Stewart special edition (or any other supposed pro replica, other than the RC Suzukis, that’s nothing more than a graphics kit on roached plastic 

-recent rebuild. Sorry, most people out there aren’t someone I’d have fix my stapler, let alone an engine.

-back tire with brand-new side knobs and cord showing in the center 

-anything remotely pointing to sand dune usage

“My pride and joy, reluctantly for sale”

Professionally maintained and rebuilt.........NOPE....if the stock tires don't still have the nipples on em....I usually pass......unless its a special machine....I generally am only interested in bikes that have never been apart.....dirt bike guys are usually Morons.....I know this because i am one...

“Thinking about selling”..

I saw one the other day that said,

”missing kick starter. You have to bump start it. Starts first kick”

My pet peeve is "jet kit installed"

Bill of sale only, no title.  

Anything related to sand, dunes, or a paddle tire.

Dirt on the bike - if the seller can't even wash the bike in order to sell it, you know they didn't take care of the motor

Always check the air filter when checking out buying a used bike - if the air filter isn't spotless clean, walk away

If I see those spoke wraps, I just keep scrolling.

the rear back tire with the center lugs are bald, but the side knobs are still decent. That’s a no from me Jeff.

I can tell you are a true vet of the market place adds. 😂

Price is firm 

I'm surprised no one has said this yet - "Fully Blueprinted Motor" 

I also like when they say it has been professionally maintained and the tires are bald 

Just needs a clutch cable…

Bike was 100% rebuilt by my uncle

the ones where they can’t roll it out the shed b/c of all the junk but give you all telling 3/4 side view. 

They are not all 250R's, according to this guy there is also a 250f...

When they give a top speed of a dirt bike. 

"Its a beast!". Effing hate reading that 

"All original"

"Never raced"

"Oil changed every 3 rides" umm how many hours in those three rides?

"sand ridden only" 

"never seen dirt"
