sucks, because I need a blue upper fairing, not a yellow.

looks like some poor soul's bike got jacked and delivered to a chop shop.  

that's my guess, since if you search his auctions and look at the gas tank, he states how it doesn't come with a key.

So could you buy the tank, have a locksmith pick it, then find what the key profile is?  Could Suzuki look-up who bought that bike and notify them that this shop in VA is selling its parts?

will be hard to do unless they have a VIN

you think he'd be selling off the frame and engine if it's a chopped bike.  hmm.

Probably hasn't gotten the bike completely dismantled yet.  
Bodywork and tank are the easiest to take off.

I asked him about the parts and he was very evasive and didn't answer my question.

Did anybody bookmark the auction ID for the tank (with "locked, with no key provided")?  He seems to have pulled that auction, as it is not listed under either "open" or "closed".
