There is a ZRX 1200 for sale on Craigslist Youngstown Ohio. The guy wants $1,500 for it. Says it has low miles, all original... I think I'm going to check this one out. Any thoughts about the motorcycle?

I don't know, it sounds like a scam to me. A lady sent me a email reply saying that her husband just died two months ago. She said the motorcycle is in Indiana, but she is not in Indiana now.... I replied that I was sorry her husband passed away. I told her I was very interested in the motorcycle, and that Indiana was not to far away for me. I asked her to get back to me and we can schedule a meet up... What I am expecting is a reply saying to send her money to hold the motorcycle for me. And that's the scam. We'll see and I'll keep you posted. Oh, the motorcycle only has 6,000 miles on it. Yep, to good to be true.My Motorcycles:

It's a 2001. Stainless Kerker, ignition advance, Givi bags on Motech mounts. New chain and sprockets, tires fair to good. Some scratches on the tank. Doesn't stay in 3rd under power. It's been parked 2 years waiting for me to get to it. There's a chance it's just the shift drum, but I think a sticky shift lever is the root cause, so there's probably damage everywhere. Dropping the pan for inspection is the first step. If I'm lucky and it's just the drum, that can come out the side. I should have time in the coming year, but I always seem to say that. Next year for sure.
$1500 for that black bike is indeed too good to be true, as is $2500. Something is wrong.Dogma
