Why does it say "Do to ebay regulations status of frame cannot be disclosed." ?
Also, way to use the wrong "due" jackass [laugh]
I actually called the same place just yesterday about an air filter and the guy Phil sounded like a total dumbass.
I wouldn't suggest buying anything from there.
status meaning: salvage?
Let's say it is. Everyone else can say they're selling a salvage bike in the listing. Never heard of a rule stating you can't disclose the status of the VIN/title.
Too weird. Me thinks those guys can suck it.

we could make the beast with two backs with him and start sending random stupid questions and shit....
but i'm lazy
+1
I asked if I get a title with it if I win the auction
Ebay has some stupid rules regarding the sale of stripped motorcycle frames.
If you sell a frame that has a title, then you HAVE to list it in Ebay Motors as a vehicle -- which costs more!
the guy has 10,000 + sales and almost 98% rating. He's not a fool.
hell, if it stays that cheap, i may buy it just for fun and ill be "that guy with a 749cc ducati gokart"
you know, just for fun.
Hmmm... So let me get this straight, This guy is selling a 749 frame, engine, clocks, harness, ecu, clutch and pressure plate for 10 bucks with no reserve?
Something fishy going on here me thinks...
Apparently, if you buy the frame and engine, they throw in a drill press, a microwave, a second motorcycle that I can't quite make out, two shop monkeys (one wearing a muscle shirt, and, disturbingly, one wearing a rubber glove), and a curious shop customer. Hard to beat that, for $10 and $301 shipping.

Either that or he's parting out a 749.

the engine is frozen. i know who used to own it. ran it without oil accidentally.
**correction, it WAS frozen, I guess he got it running again.

Please do tell. Lets hear. "The rest of the story"

i don't know the rest of the story. bike was stolen and recovered with a seized engine, broken alternator cover, and tweaked forks. nothing else was off. the seller is a bike shop that buys salvaged stuff, which buddy contacted and got parts off for another bike. he said they were going to part the bike after getting the engine "cleaned up."
stolen bikes are pretty common in Queens.

queens ny?
Still a good deal if you can get something like $300 bucks for it. Even with the shipping price, the engine alone would be worth it.
The shock olone would be worth it. It is a Ohlins, isnt it.
Queens NY is a long way to ship,, for me. Shipping might cosy more then the purchase itself. If it was on the west coast i would be a little more motivated.
My guess is is sells for over $1000

I am sure it will, but I just wonder the condition of the engine. Just because it starts doesn't mean its in good shape.

Yea, but as long as the block isnt cracked, and nothing blew up inside, im sure you can overbore it, drop new pistons and have a nice engine. unless the whole thing grenade'd itself. The shipping is fixed though, he doenst mentioin anything about where it goes, jut the lower 48.
me wants.
Alright, now im actually kinda serious about buying this. College Point ( i assume college point blvd queens) is like 45 mins from me, so i can do a pick up. (they are charging $301 for shipping to me, they can suck it if i cant do a pickup).
So in all fairness, if you intrested in purchasing this item, then go ahead and bid, but please dont bid just to bump the price for no reason. Also, i have my set limit, so if your willing to spend more than me on this item, then just PM me, and ill stop bidding.
Thank You guys.
Also, that is not an Ohlins shock. Its a 749 Showa. only the S and R models came with Ohlins. so the shock itself is only worth $100.
Good luck. Im not actually going to bid.
called them up.
THey are welcoming anyone to come check it out and recommend a pick up.
15-39 128th st college pt queens ny.
Engine is not siezed, though i did not mention it, didnt want to blow ducatizzz cover [thumbsup]. But the engine starts and runs, the bike was hit in hte front and he said all the damaged was to the front plastics lights (he did not mention forks). It has a salvaged title, and everything else on the bike is top notch, its just being parted piece by piece. A lot of peopel are calling in about it, and an importer is comming today to take a look at it for a guy overseas etc.
ill take a look, and do a bid. since i dont get hit with $300 shipping.

Engine is not siezed,....
hmmmmm
i wonder if it was just locked by the clutch. buddy got a full payout on it because the adjuster said the engine was seized.. who knows?
Steering stop tabs are tweaked hard, which could mean the headstock is twisted. Clutch cover took a good hit, and the brake lever's toe peg is sheared off. Also, the frame has a few good hits on it, just above where the right rear sets bolt on, so I'd suspect some frame alignment issues.
Looks like an Ohlins rear shock, but it looks like it's been stripped of its compression adjustment knob.
Where's the front end? Or the radiator? Low-side into a curb/fixed object?
But even more disturbing.... How do you accidentally run w/o oil?!!!

Given it's history, I'd skip it. Just my $.02!
1111.00 DesmoPorshe. Hmmm. I quit bidding because a certain member on here seemed very interested.
Ducwrench, did U see this bike in person. I could see the steering tabs bent in one Pic. Never picked up on the rest
