It's too hard to tell by the picture. If you can see it in person try looking down the tubes from the top or set the wheel straight and sight down them from the side.

It's hard to say for sure just from looking at that picture, but the front wheel does look like it's pushed back a little.

The red line is following the upper part of the forks, and the yellow one is following the lower. It could just be the angle of the picture though..

Buddie of mine was saying he thought his F3's forks were bent a little I told him to quit blaming the bike and ride the thing.

Even if they are bent talk him down on the price and buy some forks off of Ebay or somthin. That bike looks too good to pass up.
