This one. If it is cheap enough (~1200 - 1300) I may bite but would love someone being able to see it first.

Cheers,
Andy

Micron exhaust. Sound very nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just full ready to use.


Also misspelt battery as battrey, but I suspect that's a typo. The above reeks of Nigerian scammer to me.

Aftermarket paint scheme means it's probably been chucked down the road as well.

Probably a Lithuanian bus driver who's made a few bob working in a shithole country called England*, bought himself a 600cc toy to play about with while he was here, and is now homesick and needs to sell the thing before buggering off back to his picturesque home.


* Disclaimer - The country can be quite pretty and charming, it's just a pity it's full of retarded arseholes called the English Razz


Big Ham, how's your Lithuanian? and what's the word for battery? Razz Wink

Front tyres changed in May 2012? Good joke... Also I think you'd be VERY lucky to get a neat X reg cbr with 25k on it for £1300, you're probably looking more at £16-£1700 I would have thought?

The guy is obviously foreign but it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad buy because he has broken english or bad spelling Wink

BUT


Saying that. The paint work and scheme looks VERY clean for 25k on a X Thinking

There's also a mark on the right lower white sticker. Is that under the decal?

And 4 close ups of the right hand side but a distance shot on the left?

Walk away on this one I think......

I'd have thought with current bike prices even a bit more than that. Your budget is more likely to pick up a tidy mid 90s CBR, from my not so infrequent perusal of Ebay.
