New Post New Price - 2007 Aprilia RSV-R Factory $8,000

[Io-bot]

Clarification, Ray answer all my questions first time around... when i said "save you the trouble of asking the same thing of the seller 10 times" i mean instead of having 10 possible buyers asking him the same thing 10 times, id just post up the info to save everyone the trouble.

[Io-bot]

Also whats up with these stickers? The MilleRSV one's not even from this bike? And the other one is sideways...

I would think of all the things mentioned above, the stickers would be the least of anyones worries.

I'm not a potential buyer, but out of sheer curiosity, may I ask why you never registered in MA after having owned it for over a year?

[imstuner]

Have anyone taken the bike for a test ride?

Johnny,

There are personal reasons in my life that have prevented me from registering the bike. I do not wish to share my personal business in a public forum. If you wish to discuss it offline, I would be willing to share the circumstances with you or any perspective buyer.

Knowone here cares the reason why you didn't register the bike! If the title is not in your name, that information should have been posted in your thread here by you.

[scubasteveRR]

I thought there was a mass law that you can't sell a vehicle if the title is not in your name unless you have a dealers license.

might want to be careful and/or confirm this.

We almost had it sold, would have taken deliver this Friday... but came across a few red flags that I personally didnt feel comfortable with. So ill post them up to save others the trouble should they be considering the bike (save you the trouble of asking the same thing of the seller 10 times). Ray sounds like a legit business man and i dont think he has anything to hide but things didn't add up for me enough to drop 8K cash.

1. Ray is at least the 3rd owner of a bike with 3K on it (title reads transfer at 2250 miles in 2009 to the previous owner)
2. Ray purchased the bike off eBay 1.5 years ago from Hawaii and shipped to CA and then to MA
3. Ray never registered the bike in MA, he only put ~80 miles on the bike riding around his neighborhood in 1.5 years after spending $600 in services and have it shipped across the country.
4. The title is in the previous owners name.
5. Service record doesn't match the tittle as they confused a "2" for a "Z"

EDIT:

Yup... seems like a flipper, a story with every bike...

Thats a BUTTLOAD of used bikes for a guy that is NOT a dealer...

I don't know about Mass, but in RI it would be against the law for him to sell it. It's all about the sales tax money..if the title is not in his name, he didn't pay sales tax!

To the OP, if you'd like to start a THIRD thread on this same bike AND state all the facts about it, we will make sure it stays on topic!

per the forum rules...

Please include all important information and an accurate description about the item you're selling...

You can also delete or close this thread if you'd like

When I bought my trailer the title was still in the previous previous owners name, not the person I was buying it off of. Kinda like the situation this would be. I had to pay sales tax for the person I bought the trailer from and for me. Wish I had known that

You're supposed to title it within 30 days. You have to pay the sales tax at that time. I had to pay a penalty on my new V-Strom in 09 because I bought it from a NH dealer in Nov and didn't apply for title and reg until the following March.

If you're looking at a car that hasn't been signed over, it's often because the guy is trying to flip it: meaning you are probably overpaying.

[jbmass]

Whoa... Wait a minute, read the last bike for sale link posted above, it appears you scammed an '03 Replica on the Aprilia forum? Please explain.

I'm all for the legit sale of this bike if it is legit, but not scamming others in forums.

Can a Mod investigate.

[jbmass]

My apologies, they just thought it was a scam. Good luck with your sale.

[Honclfibr]

Yeah, I don't like the looks of this. It seems to me like you are running an unlicensed bike dealership here, and failing to disclose this to the buyers. We've had members who had troubles registering bikes before due to weird title problems; it's ugly and it creates a lot of tension around here. We don't need that shit just so you can make a buck.

I SEEE now. tricky.

[Io-bot]

He did offer to go to the DMV with me in CT to register it in my name prior to cash exchanging hands. But all the red flags add up to me having to pass despite the fact that I love the bike and so does the girl.

[gumby]

I couldn't imagine why such a nice bike at a fair price hadn't been sold... but this thread has certainly been revealing. The "open" tiltle speaks for itself... a big no-no.

[Io-bot]

Open title within a month or two is no big deal, however 1.5 years after, after doing $600 woth of service andbsipping from HI to MA is just strange.

Well this thread just got good. And I've spent so much time drooling over this bike too.

I sold a bike to Cycles128 that was not registered in my name. I bought it for my girl from VT and just had to provide certificate of origin and proof of registration. Not sure about consumer to consumer.

Tell me about it!

[9secondsflat]

hmm...sounds like your tossing stones at glass houses...have you ever drove 65 in a 55 how about 50 in a 35 in MA...is that not breaking the law...

One person speeding doesn't involve someone else.

[9secondsflat]

lmao...really??? ask an officer, the first thing that they say is YOU are jeopardizing the lives of OTHERS on the road and or your driving is potentially reckless with intent to do harm to OTHERS....

[Stoneman]

Really??? You're gonna turn the thread into that? I'm VERY interested on hearing more from the OP, not listening to rediculous analogies about breaking the law...

[JohnnyV]

I'm curious, Io-Bot stated that the bike was purchased by Ray a year and a half ago via Ebay from someone in Hawaii. However..... over on the 'Vette forum, it was offered up as a trade towards a ZO6 with the following description:

"What I have to trade:

Well....lets start with $12,000 CASH

In addition I have an INCREDIBLE LIKE NEW 2007 Aprilia RSV Mille R 1000 Factory with 3,700 miles on it. Paid $17,900 new in 2008. This is an amazing cycle with upgrades that make it ready for the street or the track. Be sure to do your homework on this bike!"
