I did something similar back in 2007. I was living in Birmingham, AL and bought a 1979 KZ400 on Ebay that was located near Kokomo, IN. I spend more on gas and a truck rental than I did on the bike. The guy at Enterprise was shocked when he checked the mileage and saw I put more than 1000 miles on the truck in less than 24 hours!
The problem here is that junkers don't come with titles and a bike without a title is just a pile of parts. The only way to get a new title is for the person on record as the owner to file for a replacement title.

I haven't had that experience with EFI bikes. Even when I left my BMW with gas in the tank for more than a year while recovering from a bad crash it started right up.
With cars a scanner and tablet gets down the the problem pretty quickly. I can't wait for OBD to come to bikes.
