Dealership Test Rides

I just saw this on ebay (at the top of the home page) and it made me think of when I test rode a brand new FZ1 and how slick the new tires were. I'm just glad I didn't dump it and end up buying a brand new totalled bike. Especially one as overpriced as the VFR1200.
:hangme:

Honda : VFR1200FD | eBay

 

wow. a brand new parts bike. thats just tragic.

 

Impressive! How did he manage that ? It looks like he didn't miss a single corner or surface.

:frown::frown::frown::frown:

 

Did he punch a hole in the steering stem? How the heck did he do that?!?

At least it's reasonably priced now...

 

Holy hell. It looks like it fell out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Then someone test rode it and fucked it up.

<ducks>

 

I saw that the other day too. Only 200 miles and it's trash. Is there really anything on that bike that could be salvaged? How on earth do you total a new bike on a test ride? It looks like it was hit by a truck.

 

Yeah, I saw that one too, I was rather impressed at the level of damage done as well. I suppose you could salvage the powertrain. Possibly the frame depending on how tweaked it is and if the steering stem is salvageable. Impressive test ride to say the least, I used to know a guy who took out a Nissan Z (the original ones waaaay back) and totaled the shit outta it. He got to take it out because one of his buddies was a salesman, I don't think they're friends anymore....:whistle:
