I sent this guy a email yesterday.
Hello.
Can you send me some better pics of the engine?
Also, what is the engine ID number?
Thanks.

No response.
So, I sent another email this morning:
Hello.
I contacted you yesterday to try and help you out but I received no response.
This seems a bit odd so let me detail my concerns.
That is not a KX500 engine of any year.
It is a CR500 engine.
What year?
I don't know but, If I had the engine ID I could tell you.
Since you don't know that you are selling a CR500 engine it makes me wonder what else you don't know about the bike.
Attached is a pic of what a 89-04 kx500 engine looks like.
As you can see, it does not look anything like the CR500 engine in your bike.
I am willing to help you avoid a major eBay problem but your response is required.
Best regards.

Details to follow  :-D

Not that Service Kawasaki would ever say anything...but I'd like to see what their response to his comment about it being "way better than Service Kawasaki's bikes" would be.

Also why is it listed as an af? Isn't that a 08' 250 steel frame

Looking at craigslist makes me laugh.  People sell the most crapped out bikes imaginable for insane prices.  Then when you text them a reasonable offer so you don't drive 2 hours for nothing, they get all up in arms like they're junk is worth it.  Some of them get pretty mad and get pretty rude.
