Seems almost...too shiny for the age?

The list of replacement parts seems like the ENTIRE rear end has been replaced (look at the photos, everything below the tail looks brand new), possible write off?

Apologies for asking - I know here gets inundated with threads about auctions but I know absolutely jack about what to look for Rolling Eyes

Probably a DVLA cock-up, but they do have it registered as black.

Thats a handy link thanks Thumbs Up

Also down as 1996 whereas he's listed 1997... somethings not right methinks.

Apart from the exhaust everthing that's been replaced is a consumable.

Really? I thought a new swingarm would be a big job (although I guess they do rust). Lack of knowledge coming through again Rolling Eyes

For ~£700 it seems alright then? Im not going to have a chance to go see it and thats whats putting me off.

Just looks like a well looked after bike to me... personally if you're interested in it, go and have a look at it and meet the bloke selling it - if he seems a bit dodgy and untrustworthy then give it a wide birth.

He bought this 10 days ago:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261040747547

And the bike is registered as black.

And the HPI cert is from May.

Thinking

Back to scouring eBay!

He could have bought a beaten up old bike, fixed it up and trying to make a bit of money.
I got my bike from ebay, spoke to him over the phone, seemed decent enough so I went to see it. though this was more of a - does this guy seem like a dodgy git, check. you can always ring him ask him if he's changed the log book to the new red colour etc. might be totally innocent

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 13 years, 240 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
