Well, not exactly new but only 200 miles...here.

It's always sad to see a great bike destroyed like that. ...poor thing never had a chance! :(

Judging by the destruction, I can only imagine whoever crashed it was hauling ass then panic'd when he realized there's no clutch or shift lever when he tried to slow down. Either that or a total noob got on it, opened the throttle in auto shift mode and before he knew it was way over his head and wadded it going into a turn.

The bike must have cartwheeled numerous times given that the headlight cluster is ripped off and the rear frame bent sideways. They claim it's "repairable", but with a hole in the steering head and bent frame, nobody is going to use it for anything other than parts.

Yeah, hope the rider is alright and like to try a DCT.
#5
What classifies that as "repairable?" The fact that the tires are in good shape? :laughing6-hehe:

Seriously, that thing looks like it needs about $17,499 worth of work!
