I am wondering if we can actually screw him (the seller). I will try and contact him and offer him $3,000 for it. He then refunds hveemer and gives all money back, then I turn around and back out of the deal. Making $3000 off of it is a lot better than what he owes hveemer. Being a sheisty person that he is, he may just go for it.
 
You don't need a lawyer for small claims court, and even an "as is" sale is voidable due to fraud. Go get him!

Furcifer you genius that just may work, he's located in Barryville NY so be from near there and say you want to come look at it this week. His buy it now price on eBay was $3k so offer say 2700 and after my voice message saying court is in order he may be drooling.

Better yet ask if he is willing to ship it, site unseen.
 
Don't know how much of a case there is, but i didn't get through all 9 pages. Did the owner advertise that the engine installed was the correct engine for the bike? In all honesty, i'm sure he thought he purchased a good replacement engine, realized it wasn't correct, and then instead of going back and fixing it correctly, he just found a way to make that engine work...When you're buying a used, as-is vehicle, if nothing has been specifically drawn out, i'd doubt you'd have much recourse. I had a 79' Honda CM before my SV, i was apparently the third or forth owner of the bike, and there was no history revealed to me prior to purchasing the bike besides that it ran, looked "legit" had a clean title.

I don't believe the State of Missouri would have cared if the engine in the motorcycle came from another 79' Honda, an SV, or a Bell Helicopter. As long as the numbers on the frame matched the numbers on the title, the engine was of no regard (less it was stolen i'd imagine).

I have one car that has a non-factory engine in it as well, and it's of no concern. Granted, i know where the motor was installed from, and have documentation proving this, but that information isn't going to be found on any title, emissions forms, or carfax history that you'd pull.

I wish you the best of luck in your quest. My guess, ride the bike if you feel comfortable. If you're feeling vibrations that don't seem normal, or if the mounting makes you feel uncomfortable, don't ride it. Scout the net for a replacement motor if you plan on keeping the bike. After all this, you'll have more into the bike than you're going to get out of it by selling, but at least you wouldn't be opening yourself up to being unethical in the sale of the bike.

you should read all 9 pages. i think page 5 has pictures, you wouldn't ride this thing, engine mounting tabs broken off and held on by a washer and such.

even if the tab wasn't broken, most of the other mounting points don't even line up...... how can the engine become the stressed member of the frame that it is supose to function as without being bolted

my comment was aimed at this, even if you decided that you were okay with the ghetto fabbed mounts, the fact that one of the mounts isn't actually even secure as its broken off the frame makes it end of the maybe you could ride it conversation. As much as yes there are a dozen other reasons never to swing a leg over it.
 
the frame is cracked where a mount is sposed to be, so even if you got a cheap SV motor in there the thing is toast. I hope the best for you and I would be soo ****** a heavy lawsuit is in order make sure you get receipts from everyone who looks at it to get money. This makes me angree to see something like this.
 
While I already knew, this thread does an excellent job of forever settling the question of whether or not a Hyosung motor is the same as the SV. The answer is right here, my friends.

NOT.
 
Never, never, ever part with any funds before you are sure what you are getting. This is fraud, plain and simple. I would think a call to the police dept, and DMV is in order. A letter from a certified mechanic stating the bike as unsafe, and a lawyer on board. The lawyer calls the jerk, not you, and begins proceedings. Quick as he realizes he is hosed, and has to pay all of the expenses, I forsee your money being returned pretty quickly.
 
so i gotta know? what happened here? please tell me he got the electric chair for being a d-bag?
 
Part of me wants to just not sympathize with you at all. Honestly you can take a look at the crappy pictures and know somethings wrong. I purchased an 01 sv650s with 8k miles for 1,500 and its in PERFECT condition. As a matter of fact just rode 500miles on it (w00t first time in mtns anyways).

Dude seriously, if your going to pay 2,000 dollars for ANYTHING do some research and know what your getting. You sound like a flake and a dumbass to me and I don't care if this is your first purchase or not you can easily see frame damage. Your pointing out leaky forks and all this other crap in your other post yet you didn't see the wrong engine!?

This whole thing is either a fake which I can't understand why you would go through this much trouble over something like this or...
you sir do not need a motorcycle because you will just give the rest of us a bad name. Rethinking my last sentence maybe you need someone to help you and show you what intelligence is, Where do you live I'm sure someone will be happy to assist you a little.
 
^^^. You, sir, are a douchebag. Really, just because this is the Internet, you think you can get away with being a pr!ck? I hope the OP figures out where you live, so he can kick your smug ass.
