$12k for a used stock bike?

We're you stroking Mr. Biggelsworth with your pinky in your mouth when you made the ad?

That bike aint worth more than about $4,000.00. It's basically a stocker , with a powder coated frame , stock motor and some graphic's. You want $16,000.00 for that? Zach , do you have proof that was even chad's bike as far as that goes? If it is.......they must of stripped about 90% of the good shit off.

Two thing's here....

1.) Either you or someone else got ripped off to the point of sheer ridiculousness .

Or....

2.) You're trying to sell a bike on Ebay to some poor sap for 4 X more than that bike's worth.

You can see where this is head , right Zach?

AJ Catanzaro was on one of chads old Honda’s for his school at Millville Wednesday. I had to double take when I saw the Australian twotwo graphics. It looked like it may have still had the correct triples.

Haha....I still can't get over the $16,000.00 asking price. Haven't seen him come back and explain why he wants so much.

Hello fellow moto fans! I received a lot of slack for this so I figured I would post back.

Most complaints have been about the price, thank you for your feedback as I have lowered the listing price. I bought the bike for $10k then paid for shipping so I have around $12k in the bike and only rode it 3 times. I currently have it sitting in my house office on display for friends and people that come over. I am a mega Chad Reed fan and I'm sure there are others that would love to have this bike. The bike means more to me than just $10k which is why I have the bike listed that price. I wanted to get my money back and also give back to the riding community by donating money to the Road 2 Recovery. If it doesn't sell then oh well I still have my dream bike and life is still good. I currently have a factory edition 450 and KTM 300 that I ride so the bike will continue to sit as a trophy.

Hope this helps explain my thinking. I know that there will always be people who disagree on these forms which is ok. Chad Reed is one of the biggest names in the sport and there are plenty of his super fans in the world. My goal in posting on here was to get people viewing and talking about my listing to help spread the word and reach these super fans.

Godspeed and Ride safe!!

You are forgetting taxes too my dude! That's $725. Also shipping from Cali to Jacksonville is a lot further than Texas to Montana.

Scottie, I'm not sure what "coming clean" means, but I wouldn't say that's the case here. He's advertising a bike as raced by Chad Reed that doesn't appear to have even some of the most basic items that would have been on a bike raced by him. He changed his location after being called out for referring to the eBay ad as if he just happened to stumble across it, etc.

Everything about it looks like he's trying to scam some unsuspecting sucker into overpaying for an ordinary, 5yo bike by lying about its history.
