Apparently any Kawai with a ~1000cc engine is a "Ninja 1000"

(in fairness, Kawai's naming scheme isn't easy to comprehend)

Me: How much are you looking to get for your Triumph?
Him: I'm taking offers to c wat I can get.
Me: OK. Any offers yet?
Him: I did. But wats your offer.
Me: Any service records?
Him: U mean like oil changes
Me: Among the other 38 items listed in the manual that need servicing, yes. Have you ever taken it to a shop?
Him: No I have not token to shop.
Him: *Tooken
Me: Close enough. Well, retail on a used 2013 with a clean title is about $8k from a dealer.
Him: I'm just wondering where did you get that dealer price
Me: Kelley Blue Book
Him: Dealer price for this bike is 11500
Me: New. Your bike is not new.
Him: It ain't new but it don't drop the price by that big.

Unsurprisingly, he turned down my offer of $4500.

Classic usage of "I know how much the bike is worth so please no please no low ballin"

"Has a few scratches due to roads" Wonder what sort of roads he was taking it down

It even has a salvage title for heavens sake, but good thing it has a "custom paint job"

I have all the emission parts. This is a perfect street legal dirt bike. I take very good care of all my motorcycles and cars. I'm the kind of person you want to buy a used bike from. You wont be disappointed. I even have a complete color shop & parts manual and new in box spare fuel pump. $5,500 OBO. I might trade for a running and driving classic car or truck that is from 1950's to 1976. Trade would have to be worth at least $7,500 for me to consider a trade.
