If they hesitate, it would automatically tell me to stay away, that they would most likely have something to hide.

I've gotten fucked recently, but besides posting up a thread, legally, there wasn't much I could have done. Pretty much the same thing in your case, even though the seller was a piece of shit, but you should have also taken a closer look.

At my shop, we charge $70 for a front to back, top to bottom, side to side check of the entire vehicle. I believe a lot of other mechanic shops will also do the same for a fee, spend the money, get it looked at, it would, at very least, give you a piece of mind.

Now, have you considered that he didn't know of the problems the bike may have had? That might have been the case, I would think if he was trying to pull a quick one, that he would have not called you and bitched about the injectors and then finally trading back with you.
