Saw this bike on craigslist. The bike just looks like it is set up incorrectly. The rear brake pedal, rotor and caliper are on the wrong side. I've never seen a japanese bike set up like this before. Emailed the seller but have not gotten a response. The bike just seems backwards to me.

The picture is reversed. Front brake, ignition cover, all of it is backwards. -
Even if the picture was reversed, how could the brake pedal be on the left side. I just can't get my head around it, is it a mirror image? Are we looking at the left side of the bike? The engine looks correct but the controls are switched.Comment

If you reverse the picture, the bike will be facing to the right, meaning you are looking at the right side of the bike.Originally posted by almarconi View Post
The brake pedal and muffler will still be visible, but on the right side, as normal.

The RIGHT side.Originally posted by almarconi View Post
But it has been printed in reverse, making you think it is the left side.
Remember, it's Craigslist. The only thing you can count on is that it's ALL WRONG.

After I held a mirror up to the monitor, I can see that it is the right side. Didn't realize I needed a mirror to view craiglist ads.Comment
