No.  They salted the roads and I refuse to take this out on the roads until the salt has been completely washed away.

Owner wants this gone!   Dropped the price in the original listing to $16,995.  As configured this one is still over $32,000 brand new.

I thought you were the owner.     Why would the owner want a great bike gone for half the money?
Got that video of it working yet?    I ask again for the third time.

 I guess you believe someone should just throw a pile of money at a rare, nearly impossible to get fixed locally, dropped, expensive motorcycle with, what I'm guessing is a voided warranty.

I'd say this bike may be worth $7000 to an EE who can live with the headaches and garage art prospect or who would part it out.

Please do what you said you would do or kindly quit trying to hook someone who would think they're getting a deal.

Are you an interested buyer, or just an internet expert who likes to speculate and throw hate around?   Based on your username and the multiple instances of conjecture in your post, I'm going to assume you are the type of person who thinks his brand or choice is the only valid one and that everyone else is an idiot for choosing something else.   I get it. That comes across clearly in your post.

Since you are such an interested buyer, what type of video would satisfy you? I'm guessing none, but go ahead and enlighten me.   The bike had some minor cosmetic damage. I have completely detailed the few pieces that were replaced in an earlier post.   If you don't believe what is in that post, then you are just calling me a liar.  That's fine, this is the internet and lots of people like yourself hide behind the keyboard and pretend to be experts. I've been in the motorcycle industry for 18 years, and have performed quite a few forensic inspections on vehicles in the power sports industry for insurance companies, owners, prospective buyers, etc.   

If anyone actually is interested, I can take whatever pictures or video are requested.  If you are just on here to make yourself feel better about your life choices by degrading or insulting other people, their abilities, and their knowledge, then move along.   I am not going to get into a character debate with a total stranger.   Come by my shop, come look at in person like an adult, or speak with me like an adult.  If you aren't able to do that, why are you even here? You're just using up bandwidth.

fsaintl, I do not understand the angst at NEW2elec for asking you to post a video showing that it is working well and that there is no frame damage. I actually personally spoke to the adjuster that was trying to unload this thing many months ago and HE described the bike as having been "dropped off the shipping truck" before being delivered to the buyer. I can only repeat what I have been told. I understand that you have valid and extensive motorcycle experience, but all he was asking for was video evidence, which any reasonable person would agree is warranted in this situation.

Turbo this is what a person like fsaintl does when his "posts" are pointed out to be less than forthcoming.
He let people think he was the bike owner when he is just part of some auctioned bike flipping venture.
fsaintl the then upcoming auction for this bike was posted on here so that's how we all knew what this bike had been through.  You weren't fooling anyone.
Owner wants it gone, because he sure as hell won't ride it, is what I take from the price drop.


I looked at a "damaged" Zero many years ago that had been "fixed", they wouldn't allow any test ride of course and error flashes and the stiff roll of a warped rotor showed cosmetic plastic repairs only. When I told them no thanks they weren't out anything and I had to drive an hour home.

I asked you for a video showing that the bike still worked.  You said you would post 2 or 3 in a few weeks but "THANKSGIVING" was coming up and you were busy.  I asked again and you said there was "salt" on the road so you couldn't show it riding on the road.
Your in NC?  It's spring time, pretty and warm no reason not to go on a great bike ride in the smokey mountains.

The type of video that I wanted was the type anyone would want, ride the bike with it preforming correctly. No wobble or vibrations, good stopping power and working regen.  Cycle the Energica maps, plug it into a charging station and show the chargers working as they should. 
The same check list an 18 year motorcycle dealer would preform for his self.
