My 2 cents... I understand that you don't want to use the forum for classified ads...and you created this so you can do whatever you want or whatever the consensus wants.  However, I don't see a problem with a new guy signing up and wanting to sell his motorcycle first thing.  I see this as a motorcycle forum and if it's motorcycle related...I'm all for it.  We have a Sound Stage, an area for smack talk about non-riding topics, an off-topic area, etc., on a motorcycle forum.  With anything used, you run the risk of getting less than you paid.  If a newb wants to post a bike, let the potential buyer decide...that's all.  I'd hate to miss out on a potential deal just because a person is new.  What does a few post buy us in terms of a seller's reputation...especially when they can post about music, smack-talk, and other miscellaneous items?
