Anything too good to be true... is.

Total scam, as danese sports said here

Stay away!

(as for what you've missed... See the American Architecture in one of those photos? its clearer on the sellers other bikes. So its likely the bike is just some pictures stolen off google or something, or if it does exist then you'll get told to western union the money or something similar and then never hear from the seller again. )

oh there are some classics in here!

"235 rear wheel horsepower at 6psi on pump gas" - basically motogp power, and wtf is with "pump gas"?


"Yana shiki adjustable bolt in swing arm" - hmmmmmmm, not too familiar with that make

"Schnitz front strap" - oh good, needed a good front strap



massive scam, entertaining though!

It's blantantly been stolen from an American bike ad.

235hp - pretty easy with a turbo as it would have.
Pump Gas - Fuel from a petrol station pump, rather than other race fuels.
Don't know the names, but a 'strap' is used to keep the front suspension compressed to help prevent wheelies.

I'd also be wary of anyone who puts London, London United Kingdom as their whereabouts.

for someone who lives in the uk, in london for that matter. selling two english bikes.
it's quite a huge coincidence that the suzuki has an american number plate-
https://i22.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/82/fd/81c1_1.JPG

and that the cbr has an american car in the background of this small slice of hidden americana that is apparently a london suburb Confused
https://i18.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/82/fe/2c3d_1.JPG%20
quite fortunate that the silver car has too much glare to see where the driver side is, although my bet is it'd also be american.


chances are you'd email the guy, arrange a meet up near him to see the bike and get up getting mugged.
