RE: [ST] Damaged ST on ebay. Thoughts?

Yeah - I don't get the "left it running for an hour" as the cause of
damage.  I've run the ST for many hours and no damage - so what is he
talking about?  I too would want to see the bike in person first,
especially since he is unwilling to post any pictures.

The picture indicates it's been on the track so it's been ridden hard, 
even though it is low mileage.

And then what kind of owner leaves the bike running for an hour? What 
other things did this owner forget to do? If he can't remember to turn 
his bike off when he's done with it, did he remember to take it in for 
service?

Buying it for a parts bike at a low price would be a good deal if the 
price is really low. But I wouldn't trust the motor to give you very 
many miles. And even though it hasn't been down, the plastic got hot 
enough to warp. Unless I could see it and ride it person, I'd stay away 
unless it ends up going for less than a couple grand and you could use 
a parts bike.
