Any body ever think " distresses seller " ? Guy may be in a big hole and need cash in a hurry , seen a lot of fast sales like that over the years and in today's economy with most normal people being cash strapped doesn't take much to put a family in dire straights and the toys go .

I would ask for VIN #, and recent pics...Also, where is the bike located right now?
If the seller is selling the bike for his military friend, or the bike is in storage somewhere....it's a scam o rama.

Anyone phone the guy?
Reverse look up of the phone number?
Sometimes you have more important bills to pay,like mortgage and food, kids need shoes?
Lots of reasons for a bow-out sale, then again being Canadian we tend to be to dam trusting sometimes,

The phone number is a Manchester NH area code but that is too cheap. I'd be very wary and especially make sure it isn't a rebuilt title. Scammers usually don't put phone numbers in their ads

I see 05's and under out here for $6000 or less fairly regular and the bay area is one of the highest priced places in the country for a bike . May be a scam but don't nay say till you actually check it out first hand .

SCAM...run dont walk from this one.
Why would someone need to sell on CL when they could just take it to a dealer and get that or more?

Not everyone on a harley is lip locked on that dealer titty and if I was selling a bike which I've done a number the dealer is the last place I'd even consider .

At least worth checking it out if you are in the market for a bike.
