It's a commuter, track bike and a winter hack, all in one! Also, not a streetfighter?

well the listing says it's an H-reg but the pic of the plate appears to show it being a T...... which is a bit odd. Confused

The mileage is dubious. He says the clocks are in Kilometers but they are in miles. He says genuine 24000 miles but clocks show over 40000.

He's waffling or just doesn't know much about the bike which means it isn't his wife's...which means he's waffling.

That alone would put me right off.

1991 bike should also (I think) have a single-sided swingarm?

Are you thinking of offering that, or is this just for the lulz?

You so good!! Mr. Green

Now the problem is I purchased the bike without noticing these things Embarassed

I wouldnt normally care as it was cheap but I only got this bike because I needed the engine out of it but it had to be a 1990 enginge onwards and I wanted very low miles. So I thought the bike was perfect.

It turns out that the bike is a 1989 model and is therefore is absolutely no good to me.

I went back to the seller and they basically said tough shit your fault.

I would just sell it on and hopefully get back what I paid for it but the attitude of the seller has really put my back up.

Is there anything I can do? Small claims court maybe?

Yup AFAIK all VFRs past 1990 have single sided swingarms.

Hi

Also the front and rear wheels don't match. Rear looks like a Dymag style wheel (H profile 3 spoke wheels) while the front uses the S profile spoke wheels.

I know that they changed the wheels at some point on the early model VFR but can't remember when or what they changed (possibly from a 16" to 17" front wheel).

All the best

Keith

I made them an offer whilst the auction was still running which they accepted.

You bought the 1991 bike as listed. You want the 1991 bike.
