The opposite of the other thread, fuck me, this guy has put a lot of effort in selling his bike.

What an enthralling video. Laughing Laughing

The chain looks as dry as an arabs sandal, the rear sprocket is a bit rusty and the brake fluid is looking a tad old, chances of it ever being serviced by him is slim

I put money on it being some dude thats had a mid life crisis, got his bike licence, bought a thou, shat his pants first 5mins on it and then left it sitting in his damp old shed for a year or so. possibly kicked the tyres a few times Laughing

It could do with a good clean and some oil on the chain.

You would have to stop the chain dragging along the floor first by doing a strange and unheard of proceedure called "adjusting the chain", something he never heard of either.

The amount of pictures on there is rediculous theres like 56 of the things. I have never seen that many pictures on an ebay posting before but the advert it's self is immense. He's the embarrasing dad you don't want your mates to meet.

I've seen his ads before for an RS125. Same layout and video commentary.

At least he provides plenty of high level pics and seems fairly honest about the faults of the bikes he's selling. I'd prefer more ebay listings like that. At least you get a good idea what the bike is gonna be like before travelling a shitload of miles to go view it.

Blurry mobile pics and txtspeek english listings from morons just fuck me off.

Your supposed to be buying a bike off the guy not going for a good piss up down the pub with him, so he can be as dull as he likes, just keep the ads informative Smile

+1 Thumbs Up

Some of the listings on ebay are shocking and void of information, if your buying a bike for a few £k then its nice to have as much info as possible.

Didn't watch the vid as I have no sound on this pc, but there are a couple of pointers in the pic and description which would lead me to think this guy is a dealer trying to shift a piece of unsold stock. Most obvious being who has so many bikes that they need to put a tag showing the make/reg on the key? That's generally the first thing a new buyer would take off when they get a bike from a dealer.

Also ask yourself why a bike as good as this would have been apparently off the road for a year? Just cos it's not an insurance write-off on the HPI doesn't mean it hasn't been crashed and rebuilt if someone only had TPFT or TPO on it..............

That's how i plan to sell my next bike as its apparantly going to make me some profit.

If i can do that, maximising profit, then why not?

Loads of info as you would want it, but a few too many pics for my liking, got bored of looking at the same part of the bike 28 times for no reason. Good luck to him, hope he makes a tidy profit.

The pics are good so you can spot all the ebay-mods such as carbon fibre 'look' bar ends, the 'GSXR' heel plate, carbon 'look' tax disk, chain guard, again in fake carbon, all makes me think this bike has been maintained by a nob who probably doesn't know how to ride it ( is that a cast on his hand in the video? ) and has no idea what he's on about right down to the badly made shitty looking numberplate
