MT50 on eBay, what do you guys reckon?

Got my CBT booked and now I'm looking at 50cc bikes all over the internet. I came across this one and I'm definitely interested. One thing though, I can't work out why it's started so cheap, and with no reserve. Feedback is good and bike looks well (although I know nothing, so feel free to insult my lack of knowledge) but not sure. What am I missing?

Clicky!

Btw, yes I am poor. I have £7.04 in my Paypal account. Laughing

No it's a 50cc the MT5.

I think he's suggesting you should get a meatier machine.

Nothing obviously wrong with the advert, you'll have to take a look at the bike to know for sure. I start a lot of my auctions at 1p just to get things moving. I'll be really surprised if it goes for less than £300, but you never know.

Sorry I confused CBT with DAS.

sounds like its been down the road

1. you should ask if you can check it out first

2. check for how rare the parts are, there will be nothing worst than buying it something going wrong and finding out the parts are bitches to get hold of.

3. ask if you get the dog as well Wink

i personally wouldn't want to pay more than £500 for it as it quite rusted a 50cc so it has been ragged the fuck out of no matter what he says and older than me and you
