And what does that have to do with my post?

Was he riding a 7 year old 600? Nope, a current 1000 with lots of mods, I would be willing to bet.

The R6 is 7 years old now. Where does it say Federov currently owns the bike? That's right, it doesn't. It says the bike's been owned by 3 people: Federov, some other guy, the current seller. Logic would damn near fucking make you think Federov must've bought it new!

I wouldn't buy the bike, don't think it's worth asking price, but don't disregard the fact it could've been owned by a wealthy athlete when it was new because "it's just an R6" or "because it's 7 years old now".

But what does that have to do with my George Costanza joke?

Bump.....classic thread. I was cleaning up my Outlook inbox, and came across the old message I sent to that guy on craigslist.......good times......

You, sir, are a moron. Fedorov was traded to Columbus in 05. Why would a superstar, who made up to $28 million, buy a 6 year-old 600cc?

lol, a few things to ponder while you sit at your computer, first of all where in my post does it say he bought the bike when he was in Columbus? Second he bought the bike new in 99 you big big freak. Third, its pretty obvious you know nothing about bikes and have never ridden before, so why don't you hop back on your scooter and get back to work at McDonalds. Loser!

Work at McDonalds, hmm……That must be you, since your bike is 11 years old and isn’t going to fetch more than $2500 at best. You want $4,000 for that crap? What a joke, for only $3,000 more I could get a brand new ZX6R, and some dealers have even been selling ZX10’s and 1000rr’s for that price, plus tax & setup of course. Oh and by the way, I had an R6 once, but it was an 05…..Much superior to your outdated heap. And I have over 60,000 miles under my belt, how about you? Tool. It’s fuckwits like you who are responsible for why craigslist has gone to shit.

NO, i do not want fries with that.... So how many times are you going to say that today?? I have had over 20 interested buyers and one guy from Florida who is driving up here to see it next week, which has prompted (yes look it up Mcdonals boy) to think about raising the price a little. Anyway if you knew anything about bikes you would know that the 05 r6 is when they started putting plastic on the rear. And yes dont' get all excited because i said rear. Get a life, and by the way your late for work, don't forget your hat Mcdonals boy.

What. The. Fuck.

What is he on about plastic on the rear of the 05? You should have directed him over here and we could have had fun with him.... I almost wish you would have...
