Hi,

So i gets a phone call saying there a trikes available for about £1000.. given a website and looks on it click here and finds it happens to be a gold wing! There is no way this can be true surely? Alarm bells ring as soon as i looked on it and looked at the price considering i seen a 2 wheeler in a UK dealer for £12K?

Thoughts?

scam (or certificably mental) as in their other products it this

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Rapide-Motorcycle/213751_617811785.html

$1,500ish dollars for an (even with that tank) £17-25k classic Rolling Eyes

(that and all of the products are listed as "country of origin;china)

They've just nicked the images from elsewhere.

The trike pic is from a yank site where it is was up for $23000. The vincent is from here:

Ha true! Remember some work mates buying some "TV's" cheap and just getting a link to a website from where to get the actual tv.
