Saw this bike on craigslist. The bike just looks like it is set up incorrectly. The rear brake pedal, rotor and caliper are on the wrong side. I've never seen a japanese bike set up like this before. Emailed the seller but have not gotten a response. The bike just seems backwards to me.

The picture is reversed. Front brake, ignition cover, all of it is backwards. -
Even if the picture was reversed, how could the brake pedal be on the left side. I just can't get my head around it, is it a mirror image? Are we looking at the left side of the bike? The engine looks correct but the controls are switched.Comment

After I held a mirror up to the monitor, I can see that it is the right side. Didn't realize I needed a mirror to view craiglist ads.Comment
