The blue one is EASY to pick out, its one of like 15 suzuki katans in the country with an ohlins shock on it lol. Can spot that gold shock/adjuster knob anywhere.

Still no leads though, I think they are stripped and parted out by now which sucks.

After I posted I figured they did not get stolen to ride them. Partout sounded more like the story. Still. My eyes are open

Yea, who knows though maybe someone is dumb enough to ride them ;p Or, more likely have them in the back of a truck...

I talked to the guy and hes convinced he found 2 parts off his bike now on ebay. Its hard to say though, 1 is a shock mount off his type of bike. Only it has nylon lock nuts which are not stock(not common to add on) and my friend did add them to his bike. Another part is a subframe that has an extended wire for something, again not stock but identical to what my friend added to his.

The seller lives an hour north of where the bikes were stolen...

Ask if he has other parts, get a list then tell the police and give them the list. Set up a time to meet and try and get the cop to go with you for the meeting.

Sucks tho.. buying your own part back off ebay?!?!

for the record dont bother asking ebay to do anything. there useless. Theyll tell you you should have kept a better eye on the bike. The cops probably wont be much help either unless they are caught actually riding the bikes.

Just an update, friend got a call from the cops saying they had his bike. Turns out it was just his license plate on another stolen bike wrecked in a ditch. The 2nd stolen bike turned out to have been stolen 5 days prior my friends bike and is from the same neighborhood And is owned by a sheriff.

It sounds like they stole 1(or more) bike waited a few days stole more, swapped the plates around and rode them. So the others may very well be out on the rode or in a ditch.

Another update, straight from the owner:

"Today, traveling from a client site to a computer store, I came up a long on-ramp onto the interstate just in time to see my OWN bike go by in the other direction on I-275. There was no way I would be able to exit & turn around fast enough to catch him in the car I was driving, so I did the next best thing -- called 911.
Who patched me through to the state highway patrol (I'm guessing because it was spotted on an interstate). And the highway patrol I guess was call-backlogged, because it took a while for them to get to the phone. And when they did finally answer, it took a while for him to comprehend why I was calling -- and then he wanted to know the tag number. I explained to him that the tag had already been returned (found on another stolen bike)... By this time, enough time has passed that the bike could have easily gone three dozen different ways and there's about zero chance of a patrol spotting it from my sighting.

That sucks."

So anyone in that area on the freeways, please keep an eye out, its on the road for sure!
