There's a good possibility it was either low on oil, leaking oil or some other problem related to oil/lubrication. It's an air-cooled bike and if they are low on oil, it doesn't take much for them to overheat, cook the innards and seize up in some fashion. Warped or cracked head, hairline crack in the block, there's a whole host of problems that render the bike close to worthless, but still able to go for a few hundred more miles until the inevitable. Totally sucks that you are out the $1500. I'd contact craiglist and see if this is a first offense for this guy or if he's got a history of shady dealings.
