I posted this link in a previous thread. I have received numerous emails to post it by itself to see the full extent of the reactions. Personally "I would go out of my way NOT to buy a bike from this dealer" It would be interesting to find out who he is. Just so he could be boycoted. //////// I meant to say Castrated.

Click the link and I get "The URL contained a malformed video ID". :( Never mind, works now. This may go a few pages...

Waste of a nice bike. Still, though, 3:21 longer than any Harley would've lasted.

Well, it *is* private property. Any moron can dispose of it as he sees fit.

On the other hand fellas, they just raised the value of your KZ1100 by one bike's rarity...

F**k these squids! They take a $8000-$9000 bike and just trash them! And then walk away laughing! No respect for anything! Not taking away from this thread, just showing what idiot's we have out there!

That's pretty twisted all right, I would have liked to see how much longer it would have run with a fan blowing on it though. I'm surprised more dealers aren't doing this because we all know you can't break these old KZ's under normal usage, therefore they can't sell as many new bikes. I wonder how long a modern bike would have stood up to that much abuse. Harley's aren't even worth mentioning, they do well to make it through a poker run. Doesn't improve my view of squids any though.

Replied by violentvintagecycles on topic I was asked to post this by itself to see the emotions it stirs.
I hate to tell you this guys, but look in the back lots of most dealers.. You'll see classic bikes in heaps ready to be scrapped.. And no, they wont sell them to you.. Dealers want nothing to do with em..

t was a promo at local bike shop. I asked to buy it a week earlier but they were saving it to BLOW.

posted by the person that posted the video.

Motorcycle dealers sell the old bikes that you see sitting out back all the time, there are generally several bike shops selling them on eBay at any one time.

They may not want to work on them, but they would like to recoup at least some of the money they have invested in them.

Did this happen because they drained out the oil in it or just because it overheated?
