I did a little build thread on this one way back when and ended up selling it to a fellow Vitard (fencepost) in Ca. for $2400.00 about 8 years ago looking just like this sitting in my driveway. He made a few changes after getting it. It's a 2002 model by the way...

Btw...." selling for a friend"? Why couldn't the friend post the ad? And why is this dude using 8 year old pictures? 100% sounds fishy as hell.

Seems to me, said owner who bought bike and took to California never sold this bike at all, and is probably wondering where its at.
The bike: 2002 Honda CR 250, probably also "thinking" it was a "native" Texan, left California on its own, and returned to its homeland.
This seems to be the most plausible explanation to this mystery machine to me
In case you are a dick, this scamming is a serious issue in our sport. Newman is trying to alert people to a possible scam that could cause a lose of thousands of dollars.
Anyone who is planning on spending $4800 on anything should have some idea of what the item is worth. Setting up a rendezvous point at a police station or fire station when potentially spending large sums of money on Craigslist is also advised.
The Yenta part was 100% accurate. Look up the words meaning.
Then, I realized that I am on Vital MX.
Take “DICK” for example: He uses the Yiddish word Yenta, claims he knows what it means and posts for the readers (me mostly) to look it up. Well, I have heard and used that word for most of my life. But, for shits and giggles here is the dictionary version; a woman who is a gossip or busybody.
Joe Newman....Not a woman, yet. Gossip/busybody, not in any sense of the word.
I guess Vital would not be Vital without the DICKS.
No wonder I rarely visit this site.
However, in order for someone to get scammed, it would require them to provide payment without receipt of the product. In this scenario, it would also mean paying 2 grand more than what the product is worth. This is all assuming dipshit Craigslist seller doesn't have the bike. There's a phone number in the ad, as well as direct links to report scams on Craigslist. Has anyone called the seller or reported the scam to Craigslist, or is everyone just making assumptions?
That's the point of the original smart ass post of mine.
put a damper on a good cold beer.
And considering I’m sleeping upstairs above my shop these days with an RC500 at the foot of the bed....life is still “pretty good”👍
