Engine and frame serial numbers were deliberately matched for the first 100 bikes.  After that it was purely coincidence.  Most numbers were higher for engines, but not always.

The S/N on this bike looks legit.  The seller showed the frame sticker but did not show the stamped number on the frame.  The frame number is much harder to mess with.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Don't think it will sell this time either.  Doesn't matter what he calls it.  Wonder what the price will be if he ends up restoring it like he threatens to?

It would be interesting to know the back story.

I think he explains the price near the end of the description. He has made a disingenuous "deal" with his wife. He has no intention of selling it.

I'm wondering if he understands what "fully restored" really means.  Even the plug wires had date codes.  They may be available somewhere in the world but it's going to take a lot longer than the spring of 26 to fully restore the bike.  And then it might be worth $50k, but not what he's asking.

Maybe whoever buys this switch would be interested in his bike... ( Free shipping ) 😉

Uh huh...
  It's unfortunate that fleaBay doesn't offer the ability to comment on listings with emojis in 'LOL' and 'roll eyes' flavors.
