Oh. My. God. Get your money back, call Paypal, ebay, your brother, the seller, and whoever you think will help. You got hosed dude.

 

Wow, those pictures make me shudder.

 

+1 its really a shame that this kind of thing happens.

 

ii would def get rid of the bike asap i dont know how it is but in tn we have a lemon law if you buy a bike, car, ect and are not happy within three days the seller must give you a full return no questions asked you may want to check into your state laws but def get rid of it asap imo

 

To those who care and didn't look it up, here is the description from the Ebay ad. All the pictures were like Myspace photos for bikes, so I didn't include them.

mint condition bike no damage new motor carbonfiber aftermarket additions all aftermarket from seat (corbin) to exhaust brakelines and whole 9 yards mint mint no damage at all.a must see to appreciate two owners only but first owner was friend knew bike from show room.chain and tires are new less than 1000 miles on new motor any questions call me at (845)456-0035 call anytime

Highlighted the normal red flags too... To the OP: I'm sorry your first foray into sport bikes has gone so horribly, horribly wrong. BTW, state and federal lemon laws are almost always exclusive to only repairs made under the manufacturer's warranty. IE, if some numbskull wanted to do an engine swap and sell something, you can't cite him under the lemon law. You can, however, ruin him through PayPal, ebay, and small claims court as you see fit.

 

It comes down to reasonable reliance. If it was reasonable for the OP to think this bike had a Suzuki engine, then the fraud is actionable. Given the seller's assurance of "no damage," the claim of a "new engine" reasonably implying a new Suzuki engine, and the strong resemblance of the Hyosung engine to the SV's engine, I'd say the OP has a pretty good case.

I'd like to see the seller argue that yes, he pulled a fast one, but the OP can't recover because he should have seen through the fraud. That's a crappy defense, IMO.

 

Wow, that's not even close. Go get 'em.

 

Ew.

 

So the seller totally ruined a perfectly good SV by trying (unsuccessfully) to swap in a wrong engine. I hope you can get your money back, as there is no way I'd ride that POS, even around the block. Not safe. At all.

 

Looks like on mount on the frame is broken on pic 4.,
file a complaint with ebay/paypal.

 

Broken or cut....:BangHead:

 

Sorry to hear what happen. I hope something happens to the seller or some bad Karma curse on him.

 

D*mn man. That sucks bad. But did you not notice the mounts that were cut or broken? I understand the sticker part, but even at a quick glance you can see that something isn't right. Sorry to hear about that.

 

Any insurance company would probably total the bike because of this. I've seen bikes totaled because of much less frame damage than that. Hope you don't have too much trouble getting out of it. And +1 to not buying a pig in a poke.

 

for the love of god whatever you do, DO NOT RIDE THAT THING. Thats number 1, those mounts could fail at any time, please dont endanger your life because you feel you are stuck with it.

Even if small claims court does cost money to file the suit, i would do it just to drag his ass through court. Frame is a write off and motor isn't worth anything. Thats bad dude, and definitely make sure you take someone who knows bikes or is at least mechanically inclined with you next time. Thats just bad.

 

Good luck with anything to do with that bike.

Maybe you can find someone with a Hyosung bike and SV motor that wants to swap bits.

 

I can see the post now - "I was riding along and my engine just dropped out. Now what?"

 

Guy will be giving me my $700 back since I have bike and he'll want to try and sell it to someone else...
I am mechanically inclined problem was I already made a hefty downpayment and actually believed that the motor was done professionally and even thought of making brackets to secure the mounts... Interesting first experience buying a used motorcycle! Man that coulda been a nice bike, anyone got a 1st gen sv650 for sale? Must have engine bolted to all mounts!;D

 

Consider yourself VERY lucky and learn from this. Take someone with you next time to look at a used bike. I'm sure someone here is selling a bike that fits your needs.

 

You are very lucky. I'm surprise the seller didn't change his name and moved away to another country.

 

I think he actually thought that it was okay the way it was.. I had it for 15 minutes and figured out it was a mess, his wife road it for a whole season like this.

 

Wow! Do you think if you informed ebay of this bike they would keep him from being able to sell it on their site or maybe force him to add some imortant detail. Like the motor may fall out of bike causing serious injury or death....buyer beware!

 

most likely not. the OP should leave feedback on ebay saying not to buy the bike.

 

Didn't go through ebay. What do you think it's worth as a parts bike? the $700 he's gotta get back to me? I don't think I would want it for anything but the protek billet pieces, pipe, passenger seat cover, corbin seat, maybe tires.. is there a market for the hyosung engine?

 

No, it isn't worth it in parts right now. Get ALL your money back as soon as possible. Some diligent member on here will then inform us of future dealings this guy tries to have.

Seriously, don't even consider keeping any portion of this bike unless he gives you the whole thing for free.

 

Wow that thing has pretty much a totaled frame on it and the guy wants to sell it again Wonder if there is anyway to inform the police, so they would have it on file just incase some unlucky kid does die on it they would know why.

 

Even if you get all of your money back, ebay should be contacted and feedback left for the sale that item was not as described, mint means the frame is not junk and unsafe.

 

All I can say is Holly Sh!t, and that thing should be set on fire!

Edit: Perfect example on someone who knows just enough to be dangerous.

 

"ruining him" is way more effort then its worth, the bike is worth what he's asking in parts, forks, wheels, radiator the hyosung motor if it works would probably sell for a few hundy on e-bay, swing arm, seat, rearsets etc, but he should be selling it as so...

 

It has a hyosung motor and what might as well be a totalled frame. I don't see the rest adding up to $3,000

 

where did you get 3k? he paid 700 for it

EDIT: or did he get 700 back...im confused now
