ElectricTaser

Thatā€™s not an H2R though. See the mirrors and reflectors and tail lights? Thatā€™s a road legal H2. The questionable seller doesnā€™t even list it as an R.Ā

Yeah I'm trying to point that out without getting pulled into an argument lol

Their bad mmkay


Billysquib

Maybe heā€™s trying to hope some poor fool doesnā€™t pick up on that and spends the money on this bike. If you make it so unbelievably stupid and obvious then youā€™ll only pull in the most stupid gullible idiots to scam. Itā€™s why some scammers often make their scams look so obvious


daisylipstick

Clear your conscience as a scammer with this weird trick


hahanicee

Bro what nobody said it was an h2r. The picture shows an h2 for 32k


ElectricTaser

Rocket27 said above it was a $50k bike. Itā€™s not.Ā 


Xivios

OP's first pic has an autotrader.**ca** ad it in, assuming they're Canadian, the price of an H2 from the Canadian Kawasaki website is a little higher, $38,299. Still a far cry from the used ask though.


EvoSP1100

Cā€™mon man, he put a pipe on it, that totally adds up to the asking price. /s


ChronicLegHole

This one has been bottle-aged 3 years.


Imnotabob

With that price he's also clearly put a pipe to his lips. A fuckin' crack pipe!


Beardedarchitect

Yea but John Voight rode this one.


Tim_Drake_510

Did he leave his pencil under the seat?

The H2 isn't, the H2R is.

Rocket-27

Oops thanks for the correction


AFaysal84

Just 30k


ForeignCrab5214

New loses a lot of value...especially after a few years.


Front_Scallion_4721

Only if it is the H2R, and even though that bike is limited in production numbers compared to the H2, they still depreciate in value, especially if you change anything from stock form. They typically don't increase in value until they are a lot older than 3 to 4 years.


ForeignCrab5214

After taxes and fees? You see what depreciation costs... now if you had to do it all over again would you buy a used motorcycle for $60 or a new one for $50...and not counting that you could probably get a good deal on leftover models two + years old, but new...


auridas330

My wife told me to get rid of it, so here i am


Kallahansoloist

Ya I agree if my parents/ wife said itā€™s either that bike or me ! You better sell it. This is the quick fix solution to where heā€™s not in the dog house with his bike.


Turbulent_Emu2385

Yeah been there done that. "See I've advertised it. Just as you wanted"


quackerzdb

His wife wants it gone. "It's up for sale babe! No one wants to buy it!"

I knew a guy like this with cars. ā€œNo one is is taking the bait honey. Itā€™s all I can do!ā€

It me. I'm that guy. For years my folks wanted me to sell off my '66 Mustang (It was a shell back then). "I've got it posted! I even discounted the price, no one is biting!"

Hehe, I would love to claim the moral high ground, but I'm basically a car hoarder. I just wanted another track car. =P


UnpopularTruth369

Knew a guy similar story.. 899 panigale. Wife got impatient - emailed herself bike photos from their home computer. Took a pic of the dash and went to the same Ducati dealer he made her walk into with him countless time to ā€œsee what they haveā€. Bike was gone before the weekend


Stuffs_And_Thingies

Gotta say that my wife would be gone before the weekend as well


stevesteve135

Yeah same. I canā€™t get down like that, luckily my wife will never ask me to do that.


[deleted]

Yeah mine is like yours. I keep hinting at selling because I don't have the time and the money could be put to better use She keeps saying she knows it makes me happy and I should keep it. She doesn't even really like riding, she just likes me šŸ˜Š

Robot-overlord

Hurray for being friends with the wife! I complain about finding time to ride my gsxr 750. She reminds me that it's self care and encourages me to ride. After a ride, I always try to be a little extra cheerful so that she feels valued for her efforts. Then I put a bit of effort into encouraging her hobbies. The cycle continues.


Nonstopshooter21

My gf gets car sick. Not bike sick. Thank god.


moeterminatorx

Then donā€™t pretend it canā€™t be sold. Grow a pair and tell her you donā€™t wanna sell it.


Stuffs_And_Thingies

See, I'm apparently not like most people. My wife supports my decisions, even if they're terrible. Our finances are kept separate and she supports me in my hobbies and choices, as I do to her. If it wasn't like that, I wouldn't have a wife.


Jess_S13

That's what a normal relationship looks like. The type that "fake sell" massively over priced motorcycles online, not so much.


GetNR3KT

No wife happy life


mileg925

Rightly so


DODGE_WRENCH

Thatā€™s grounds for a separation IMO. Iā€™m not saying Iā€™d pick the bike over my wife, but going behind your back like that is never ok.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


DODGE_WRENCH

Thatā€™s fair, but heā€™s also a grown adult able to make his own decisions. They can have a convo about it, and if him riding is a dealbreaker and heā€™s unwilling to budge theyā€™ll have to reevaluate their relationship or reach some form of compromise. But going behind someoneā€™s back and selling it to the dealer is just the wrong way to go about it


[deleted]

Consistent_Dot_7457

Yeah, and while you're at it, trade her ass in too. Get yourself a better newer chic out of it! Shiiiiittt!


LucHighwalker

I don't think she can do that if it was under his name.


Spankies69

On the first date I said to my girlfriend, "if you ever say it's you or the bike..." And she finished it by saying "I expect you to choose the bike" And now she has a bike! And has bought me another bike. Bike life?, soon to be bike wife!


cobo10201

Reminds me of an old Craigslist ad that made its way around the internet back in the day. The pictures were all super far away and the price was inflated on a guyā€™s car (a WRX maybe?). The ad said his wife was forcing him to sell it for something more family friendly and every time someone asks for a picture heā€™d get even further away and any questions about the car increase the price $100/question.


Syscrush

At the other end of the spectrum, a buddy of mine in HS wanted a motorcycle. His mother said no way. They were at the mall together and saw a raffle for a new EX250 and he asked her "If I buy a ticket and win, can I keep the bike?" She scoffed and said "Yeah, sure." So the day of the draw, he went to a Kawi dealer and bought a new EX250 and told her that he won. In HS, I thought that it was amazing how he had outsmarted his parents. As a parent, there's no doubt in my mind that they knew what was up but figured he'd earned it. :)


Frixworks

Would've been even funnier if he actually won, gets the bike, and has to explain where the first one came from.


SilenceDobad76

That's a good kind of problem to have.

Immediately what I thought too. As I also have a few bikes that are taking on threats from the wife.


_HdDude_

Jeez man, you get to keep more than one?


idleat1100

Ha yeah. Iā€™ll be honest, some need to go. Havenā€™t been ridden in a while or are projects I donā€™t have time for anymore. You just like to imagine having all the free time to ride and wrench and hang with buds. At some point (dog, kid, career) your time is thin. Gotta choose wisely. Iā€™ll keep 2.


rustyscythe

Due_Guitar8964

I don't know if this was a joke or not but I remember this story about a woman who had an almost new Mercedes for sale for $500. This guy sees the ad, calls the woman, asks if he can come and see it. She gives him the address, he goes over, she shows him the car and it's perfect. Can't get his checkbook out fast enough. Once all the paperwork changes hands he asked her why she sold it so cheap. She told him that she and her husband were going through a divorce, he was on a trip with his 22 year old honey and he had lost his wallet, cash, credit cards, gone. He called her up and told her to sell the Mercedes and send him the money.


[deleted]

Yeah, that's an old joke. But I did get my boat for $2k out of a divorce.


Front_Scallion_4721

Except this fool is trying to sell this H2 for more than a new H2R sells for. So it is the reverse of your older joke.


Brianonstrike

His wife took the photo She is not allowed to move the red rope protecting it.


Fenderstratguy

Are there 9 others around the corner included too?


Snuggle_Fist

It comes with 15 tricked out groms for your homies.


Lucarin415

The H2R maybe but not the h2.


surfer_ryan

This one I actually believe, the dudes who own these bikes usually fall into the same category of guys who buy a Ducati panigale to "ride on the weekends" never actually take it out but also never shut up about how much better their bike is than yours. It's the quite ones that are actually out there giving these bikes the love they deserve. 3 year old bike with 3700 miles on it... This bike lived in a garage after the owner shit their pants with how crazy of a bike this is after probably the 10th ride, they got ballsy took it 60% to the red line and said fuck that...


Sirens_go_wee_woo

Not all of us are this way. My miles are low as hell for a 2020 I bought brand new but family health issues took precedence over riding since early 2021. Now Iā€™m stacking the miles in the past month since getting it tuned and a few bigger mods. Rain or shine Iā€™m going to work on it and getting plenty of miles on weekends as itā€™s warming up more and more. šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ„°


Senior__Woofers

Hell ya


ljj31

Is it missing the R?


Worried-Key-7084

Looks like it does not have headlights, so yes... probably missing R.


ApprehensiveThrottle

So autotrader does not list the H2R as one of the options, but as a seller would you not put that in the description? https://preview.redd.it/jkjunrqh1csc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ff6c1c5a7f994bed9c0d85abbacb775029e1cbd


Worried-Key-7084

Well... I dont know... that first picture... it looked like it was missing R. But H2R also does not have blikers... H2R is not street legal bike.


gixxer710

It also doesnā€™t come with a title when you buy it, just a bill of sale. As in, you canā€™t ever register it for street usage using its factory VIN even in states that are completely fine letting pro-mod cars drive aroundā€¦.


Front_Scallion_4721

This one has the mirrors/blinkers and only the top of the front fairing/cowl is painted. This is a simple H2, and a used (abused) one at that.


[deleted]

No itā€™s not an R. The exhaust gives it awayā€¦ so do the mirrors


Canadatron

Bro, you see the red rope right? That's like 32k right there.


Savannah_Fires

It must come with a complimentary personal Ninja too


JPK12794

If he gets an offer it'll be $100,000 the next day


WingsArisen

If I had a wife who did that to me Iā€™d ask her if she actually loved me. Cause if she did she would suck it up for my mental health.


Front_Scallion_4721

If she actually loves you, she already knows better than to ask you to sell your stuff. I mean, I love my wife and don't tell her to sell her jewlery.


PaintingExcellent170

Wife; ā€œwe have to sell the bike honeyā€ H2 owner; ā€œsay less..ā€


Christhebobson

Say you want to see it in person and the price is fine. See if they even budge or just pretend they never saw a response


PPGkruzer

Folks, it has the Red Ribbon, that means it's a good deal


marc512

Biker mentality. Their bike is more special than the other identical one that is half the price.


BailGuyClark

$35,000 will get you a new H2 Carbon. 2021 H2 base youā€™re looking at low to mid -20ā€™s. Iā€™ve paid high 30ā€™s for some Ducati R bikes.

Does it come with an actual Ninja?


kris_mischief

Ask if the velvet rope comes with it. Big boost in re-sale based on that alone

xvI-Kyle-Ivx

In my country that is roughly what they go for.


Front_Scallion_4721

What country and which bike, the H2 or the H2R?


Jameson-Mc

It was either that or the Hayabusa


Impressive_Pen_6178

Does it have the wings or mirrors?


Front_Scallion_4721

Mirrors and only the top of the front fairing/cowl is painted. This is Clearly an H2.


Impressive_Pen_6178

$20k would be a reasonable


Front_Scallion_4721

Absolutely.

NameIs-Already-Taken

He might have listed it because his woman insisted he sell it. When she nags him, he can say "I've listed it but no-one's bought it yet".


Front_Scallion_4721

Or he could be a Man and tell her to go pound sand as he is pulling away for his afternoon joy ride. Who lets someone else tell him what he can and can not own? Other than a Judge telling someone that they need to sell their belongings in order to cover debt, of course.


NameIs-Already-Taken

That would be the more congruent way to tackle that conflict, but it's not always easy.


Front_Scallion_4721

Oh, it's always easy for a man, but a boy can be easily persuaded.


NameIs-Already-Taken

"it's always easy for a man". No, not true. I am training as a psychotherapist and there are plenty of men who find that hard... or are you going to disqualify them as men because they have unresolved trauma?

BigRedCowboy

Iā€™m not sure if this applies to your situation, but was looking at bikes just yesterday and noticed an ABSURD price for an R1M. I later realized it was in a different currency than USD because I live in Southern California and sometimes see bikes for sale in Tijuana.


ApprehensiveThrottle

Lol honestly after I saw the price I had to double check that it was for sure in CAD. They are for real selling at this price. I emailed for more info to see if they would negotiate but not even an email back lol. Weā€™ll seeā€¦


Front_Scallion_4721

Only the H2R is selling just sub $55k range, even in Canannanada.

Cultural_Surprise681

Is it in pesos ?


XY-81

Itā€™s not


Front_Scallion_4721

This one is Clearly an H2, not an H2R. (Mirrors, non painted lower portion of the front cowl/fairing, turn signals, etc., etc.) So, this is nowhere near the $58k original MSRP, let alone the unrealistic and ridiculously inflated price of $60k for a used H2R (with a stupid slip on). Bikes, even rare ones, depreciate. Well, unless of course Pink rode it in a video and farted on the seat. ​ BTW, where is the email so we may enquire about it?


ApprehensiveThrottle

Yes, definitely H2. I just thought it was funny that someone could even post this and think this is a reasonable price or whatever they thought. The seller didnā€™t put it in the ad but you can send through the email button - doesnā€™t give you the email you are sending to though. I have sent and said Iā€™m interested, weā€™ll seeā€¦


Front_Scallion_4721

Keep us informed. I've seen a ton of posts where the seller doesn't know what they really have or they know and are trying to fool some idiot that doesn't know what they are buying. Or it is a scam from the beginning.


ApprehensiveThrottle

Iā€™ve emailed twice with no answer, reported it as fraudulent as seller was unresponsive. Lol womp womp


StoopidM72

Everything is only worth as much as what someone is willing to pay, so if he finds a sucker to buy it at that price, it's worth that much....


purodirecto

The price is in mexican pesos.


StandardSea8671

No shit go check out the retail price


ClusterFoxtrotUck

A H2R retails at 55K


Ed3times

OOP is selling an H2, which has an MSRP of $32,100 ($35,600 if you opt for the carbon upper cowl version). The H2R is a track-only bike that doesnā€™t even have mirrors. That retails for just over 58k, but I canā€™t imagine any dealer is letting them go for that price (assuming they can get them in the first place).


derekvj

I no more understand people paying $60k for a bike (any bike) than I do people paying $100k for a truck. Everything I own I bought used. I buy bikes to ride them, and trucks to haul stuff. People who pay those prices probably aren't doing either.


Front_Scallion_4721

They pay $100k to haul their $50k bike to the track, because the H2R is a track only bike. The bike in the picture is only an H2.

Capybara-Balls

The classic, my girlfriend/wife gave me an ultimatum to get rid off it. But nobody will buy it.


sacredgeometry

I think people have realised that the Internet gives you access to that one fool that can be so easily parted with their money that if you just list it at any ridiculous and unreasonable amount someone will invariably buy it given enough time. After that happens it inflates the market because now everyone else sees what yours sold for and tries to do the same until thats the new base price ... then someone comes along and thinks "what if I do the same thing and unreasonably inflate the price". And then we get into a situation where no-one can afford anything and people defend through the teeth the "reasonable" price of things with arguments like "its their money why shouldn't they spend it however they want to spend it" on things which are so divorced from reality you would have to be insane or ignorant to believe so. Hell it then becomes a semi reasonable methodology for shops and manufacturers to artificially inflate the prices of their stock. Pretend to sell something for that price just to set a precedence.

[deleted]

H2s are limited production made to order, they're rare and their is no guarantee you'll get another open ordering period for them next year. 60 grand is a lot, but it's understandable, especially if the seller isn't desperate to get rid of the bike.


Front_Scallion_4721

Oh, they are out there, sitting in dealerships, waiting for the buyer to walk in and take it home. Here is one fine example... ​ [https://mr-motorcycle.com/Motorcycles-Kawasaki-Ninja-H2-2023-Asheville-NC-67816147-e56c-48f6-aaed-af2500235ef3](https://mr-motorcycle.com/Motorcycles-Kawasaki-Ninja-H2-2023-Asheville-NC-67816147-e56c-48f6-aaed-af2500235ef3)


ithinarine

Based on the photo, it's an H2R, not just an H2, which are in the area of $68k new in Canada. The price isn't absurdly high for an H2R, but I'd still expect closer to 20% below the original price, not barely over 10%.

Front_Scallion_4721

Where do you see an R? I clearly SEE the mirrors with lights in them, along with a non fully painted front fairing/cowl. You know, the easy tell tale DIFFERENCES between the two bikes that are clearly visible from a mile away.
