6K is bad enough but when I saw the 60K title thought we had a new winner.  https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/mcy/d/miami-yamaha-rd-400/7272340106.html

60K? :eek: Pfft

And it's not even close to stock. Who knows if it's even a real Canadian black model. Those decals are not correct, they should have more white on the top of the stripes. And the decals on the right side are all wrong, the speedblock slashes go the wrong direction. Definitely not OEM Yamaha decals. It almost looks like he took identical stripe decals and applied them to both sides and then added the "400" logos on top. And it should say Yamaha on the tank not 400. I'm betting it's a repainted US model, that's why it has the MPH speedo (and the gauges match).

Someone painted the wheels too, they should be natural (unpainted) on a C model.
So probably not what he says it is, unknown mileage, and goofy decals...not worth $6K (and not worth $60K either)

His ad says 6k at the bottom. Think he goofed on the title. But, still.
