Caveat emptor comes to mind.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

It's buyer beware. If you didn't find out until afterwards it was on you to see what you were buying. How much are you out for changing ownership on the bike? Might be a wash in the end. If you have the ad you may be able to go to court if it was falsely advertised.
