I just bought a 2007 Tona with 1,300 mile on it with Triumph race exhaust, grey and in perfect condition. It was on AutoTrader from a guy in Matlock. £4,400. I've seen 2006 models with 10,000 mile knocking out for £5,250 so this make it a mega deal.

It's not the one running the rather dubious total loss ignition is it? Laughing

I did think that when I read this earlier. It could also be a ringer. Double check the engine and frame numbers carefully. Go to a Triumph dealer and check a brand new bike to look at the font and spacing of the letters on the engine and frame numbers. If the ones on your new bike don't look like that, they are out of line, they are on a sticker instead of stamped into a plate on the frame or into the engine case, then walk away. Quickly.

I'd lay cash money that its a con with the state of bike prices at the moment...

1300 miles, what's wrong with it? Ex race bike? Its also very easy to swap clocks on the 675. Check the chain, brakes, tyres... for levels of use.
Has it been serviced every year? Got a MOT?
I hope you've got a very good deal there. Maybe we are all getting old and suspicious.

I think it's a bit late MarJay, says he's already bought it.

The way I always see things like this, is if it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

If he had taken delivery there would be pics. He's made an appointment to go view the bike. I hope for his sake that it really exists and isn't a ringer, or worse the seller plans to rob him.

Hi,

Thanks for the repy, what do you mean by
"It's not the one running the rather dubious total loss ignition is it?"

I met the guy at his house, seems very genuine, knew lots about the bike and told me where he bought it from. I've done the usual bike checks etc and all checks out....what you think? I've only put a 200quid deposit down.

Use the search, there's a thread on here from a couple of months back about a 'too good to be true' 675 that was running total loss for no discernable reason other than that it was fucked.

Have you looked over the bike in person? Checked all the little 'I used to be a race bike, that's why my plastics are in such good nick' things?

Hi yeah I checked the bike over, pads have lots of life left, chain is neat, body work perfect. The colour of the triple pipes comming from the engine still look chrome and not discoloured. It very well looked after.

Must admit all the replys really have my head running wild now thinking its a fake but seems genuine and so does the bike. My brother in law works for the Police so I could ask him to peform some checks ???

I did ask why he was selling to his face as I did say this seems to good to be true, he plainly said I never get time to use it so money is better than a bike sitting in the garage. If I've been to his house and it turns out to be a ringer then he's fk'd yeah ???

he told me he insure's the bike vai ebike.com so that you pay monthly..bit more expensive but you pay for what u need instead of paying for winter months. Thats advice he gave me so that was also helpful.

Also signs it could have been a race bike - with stuff being replaced when it's put back to road use.
Though, the triumph race exhaust is unlikely for a race bike that's been put back on the road.

May well just be a good deal, they do come up occasionally!

Every private bike sale carries some risk, hell even some grages are dodgy.

I did wonder about changing the word "some" Smile

I guess grages have more experiance screwing people over too, especially inexperiianced customers.

Right here's and update on the bike...IT CHECKS OUT OK.
Everything is puka!
I've had a police check performed by my bro, I've phoned Triumph World in Chesterfield where it was bought, they can vouch for the address and name "I GAVE THEM" and they can vouch for the service and the extra's it had installed Smile Me so so so happy.

Thumbs Up Laughing
