:rant: Parked it in a parking and drove his gf to work (she works 3rd shift). It was parked in the lot of a store a couple of our friends work at, they had the unpleasent experiance of calling my friend and telling him his bike was "messed" up. Waiting on word from a claims adjuster.[/img]

Bummer. At least it wasn't stolen.
There is no such thing as a bad motorcycle.

Might have been cheaper for him if it was...

Man if I ever found out who did that to my bike I'd be sitting in jail. Quick tally off the top of my head, he's at close to 4 grand for back-to-new parts... Well if you do find out who did it and need help fixing him, let me know! :evil:

Was it knocked down by a careless car driver or did someone knock it down intentionally? :shock:

That's got to be intentional.

I'm with Wrider -- I'd be in sitting in a cell right now if someone did that to ANY possession of mine. :evil:

The bike can be fixed, but man... :-( Condolences to your friend.

It had to have been intentional. It was parked out of the way, in a spot that no one usually parks near. His girlfriend couldn't even walk over to the bike and look at it. And $4k? Damn sport bikes are expensive. With the exception of the tank, the bike was near pristine condition, and just had a LOT of new parts installed.

Yeah... Well consider plastics on a sportbike alone cost near 3K for just the sides. I've literally seen less than 1 year old bikes totalled out because the plastics were messed up, that was the only thing wrong.

As for "did someone just push it over/knock it over"?
Second picture shows the rear cover ripped up.
Third picture shows knife cuts across seat.
Seventh and Eighth pictures shows knife cuts in the tires.
No this was planned...

exactly what i was going to mention, Wrider. this wasn't an accident at all. and yeah, i'd beat a son of a "dog" within an inch of his worthless "procreating" life over that, no regrets.
