The lister here says the damage on this Tuono was from riding too close
to a wall.

"it has never been down or in any accident"

What do you call riding "close" enough to a wall to cause this type of
damage?  Something you do on purpose?

That must have been one heck of a feat for that rider to ride close
enough to a wall to take off the blinker, scuff up the mini-fairing,
and scuff up the clutch lever and bar-end in a fashion to make it look
like the bars were turned 45* to the left during the "closeness" with
the wall...

Is there anything the Ebay admins can do about this ad?

Impossible to say. The important point is that it makes no diff to the
value of the bike if it scraped while vertical against a wall or scraped
while horizontal along the road. Damage is damge.

Not impossible at all, I guarantee it's been down the road. The scraped bar
end and lever was done at full steering lock.
Sure, it may have come up againsed a wall (highly unlikely) but it hit the
road after that.
