So I went and had a look at this this afternoon. Long story short, avoid any bike this POS advertises.
He wasn't there when I looked, his mrs showed me the bike and said to call him with any questions. The bike has clearly been dropped on it's right side - has damage to swing arm and a shit cover up on the frame, new brake lever (didn't replace the clutch to match..), DIY reservoir bracket, new bar ends etc. The mrs stated old mate 'does fairings on bikes' and had put the fairings on this one but wouldn't/couldn't say much more.
So I phoned him up to ask. Didn't answer. He rings back once I've left. I asked if it's been dropped and he gives a wishy washy answer and mentions the fairings look like it may have been. 'Well your mrs just said you put the fairings on this bike'. 'Ohh ummmmm yeah actualy I did.... he says.' I gave him a mouthful and hung up.
I'm near positive I've seen similar bikes on TM from this guy, so buyer beware..
Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

I would say that unless they say "Never been dropped" in their title they don't have to mention it.
This is why we need to check out bikes as thoroughly as possibly before purchasing. Sounds like you did that and have found it to have some questionable repairs, though a few scratches on the swing arm and a different lever aren't exactly uncommon on a motorcycle.
Did you lowball him? I would have lol. Hate it when pricks try to lie.
Rrrrrrrrriiiiight. This is a 19 year old bike, that wasn't anything special when it was new. What the fuck am I missing here?
Not a bike, but look what that car I sold you is worth now Drew.

I assume you still have Doug for four?
I've got this thing for two door E30's. Ever since watching the Wellington Street race all those years ago when they dusted all the taxis. Good times - Walkinshaw Jags and the Bimmers and so forth.

When John Sax put Tony Longhurst into the wall?
I visited Sax's E30 M3 in a paddock at a Kiwifruit orchard near Tauranga, in a bit of a sad state a few years ago.
Still in Blue Star office products livery.
It was a proper group A touring car version.
I had number of serious attempts to buy it off him as it was, but was never successful.
