Says -$5. In accounting the - would mean a credit, so I guess he wants to pay someone $5 to haul it away.

I was referring to the fact that it's not a Softail.

It is a scam.. I think it is to get you to email the seller so he can try to rip you off. I see a bunch of stuff like this on craigslist.

Soft tail??? How about softail for the correct spelling. Actually, the correct spelling is sportster... A guy last weekend in the Pentagon parking lot for Rolling Thunder didn't believe me that my bike wasn't a sportster. When I told him it's a wide glide - he said it must be a new product model....

Must have been a typo. It was changed to $5000.

I must be missing something here as its seems the guy's selling a sportster for $5K - what seems to be the issue? Maybe I am having a grey moment but I can't see what's wrong!
