Why did I bother writing a detailed ad for Craigslist if the responders are going to ask me all the questions I previously answered?

Clearly, "All of those questions are answered in my advert. Thank you!" would work... This person may be too stupid to motorcycle anyway.

Is it wrong that I'd be more afraid of what they'd end up doing to a lovely little moto, and not so much to their derpful brain?

No. Clearly he was too stupid for your bike.

All I see there is a dude unwilling to actually read it, who instead wants you to essentially fill out his form like an application.

"Filling out his form like an application" is a really good way to put that, I think. Whatta douche. Doesn't deserve your moto anyway.

I really can't stand craigslist, even though it is useful it makes me nuts every time I use it.

I was managing Craigslist responses for my landlord once when she was away.

I was pretty much left with the impression that the folks who asked questions that were already clearly answered were absolutely NOT serious buyers. It was entirely the scam artists (and general jackass trolls) that fired off crap like that.

So, eff them.
