September 5th I decided to be nice and tell this eBay seller what he really had. When I checked my email this morning, I had received one back from him(ten days later!).

He thinks he has a 1985 125 Atc. We all know it has to be a 125m right?? It's actually a 1983 185s.

Email I sent
This is not a 125. It is a 185. 1983 model.
This is the email he sent
I think I know what kind of bike It is but thank you.

I can't post a link to it but here's the item number. 171113300139
I think it's been for sale for a year or so.

Looks like a 185 to me.

he had it on ebay. said "supercharged" but a clear pic of the stock 110cc motor showed a plain ol carb. i sent him pics of an actual supercharged 110cc and he just told me i didnt know what he had and it said supercharged in the manual so thats what he listed as. what a maroon

Well I see he at least changed the cc from 125 to 185 but still has the year wrong . That's a start. Wonder how much he has wasted trying to sell this? Seems it has been on eBay for a good year.

Sounds like the eBay seller selling a tie rod for a 1984 ATC200es 3 wheeler... I asked him how it attached to the front wheel, and he replied that he didn't understand what I was asking. I broke the news to him that a 3 wheeler does not have tie rods, only things with 4 wheels, unless there is some off the wall model I'm unaware of.
