Sometimes when bikes were new dealers swapped out parts like this as warranty failures, I know the supplying dealer did on my RD350R that had a crack on the fairing. The weird thing is that in the ad he makes it sound more recent so unless he bought say a padgets bike or other new-in-crate bike and swapped it then it sounds a bit off as very few bikes had done only 3miles.
