Yep, very standard cans.

Same age and colour as my old one, I loved it. I had obnoxious cans on mine, don't do that. Arrow ones are nice and you can use TuneBoy to put the Arrow map on it over OBD2.

They are very easy to steal btw, super easy.

Ebay listing still looks live to me... 6 days left.

Watching with interest.

It's still for sale on ebay. Hope I've not been duped. The conversation has gone like this, it sounds genuine enough but am now paranoid more than I was yesterday. Read from the bottom to the top.

You’ll love it. It has a lot of power but it’s so easy to ride and very forgiving so you can ride it however you chose and being a British bike it’s a very good quality build. I will miss it.

Ok Thanks Dave. I'm looking forward to getting it. Had a test ride on one about 8 years ago but can't really remember that.

Cheers,
Struan

Hi Struan,

I will bring the seat cowl and I do have the original mirrors so I'll bring them too.

The bike is yours and I will take the auction down when I get to a laptop. At the moment I'm stuck in deep dark Cornwall with limited access to the internet.

Regards

Dave

Hello Dave,

I see the add is still up on ebay?

Can you bring the rear seat cowl with you on Monday. Do you have the original mirrors?

Thanks.

Struan

Great. My bank details are below;

I'll confirm when I have received. Can you please let me know whether Monday or Tuesday is better for you so I can book the return train ticket for myself.

Many thanks.

Hello,

I've been trying to find out if the 2009 bike has a fuel gauge and gear position indicator without success. Does the bike have a fuel gauge and a gear position indicator?

Thanks,
Struan
cabbagegivesmecronicgas:

Happy to go £2800 + £100 delivery if that helps
Your previous message

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I will consider it. Are you able to reduce the price any?

Morning Struan,

Many thanks for the message. I am ideally after £3000 for the bike. I'd be happy delivering the bike to Edinburgh for an extra £100. So £3100 all in delivered. That way I can jump on a train back home and hopefully that's not too far from where you are based.

If you are interested I can deliver on either Monday 1st Aug or Tuesday 2nd Aug. I'd require a deposit of £500 to secure the sale. Let me know and I'll forward my bank details.

I'm on holiday this week and internet is scarce but will reply when I can if you are interested.

Regards

Dave

Hello,

I am interested in your bike and have bid £2800. That does not meet your reserve. How much are you wanting for the bike? Are you able to arrange delivery to East Lothian?

Have immediate funds available so can pay a deposit for the right price.

Regards,
Struan Robertson

Except that the Street Triple is one of those bikes that everyone should own at some point, parameters or no parameters. Like back in the day with RD350s.

It all sounds genuine enough, but you are open the usual risks when you buy directly.

VFR12 and a ST are polar opposites but change can be a good thing.

If he can sens/receive messages then he can take the auction down can't he?

Deliver to Edinburgh for 100 quid !! So that's 50-60 quid on fuel and a train fare about the same and a day out of ones's life.. I wouldn't.

On the plus side his feedback looks OK.

Any update?

Bike still appears on eBay.

[struan80]

Something fishy going on. This is the current conversation. Also someone has outbid me now on ebay as he never took the advert down. Probably his mate seeing if I'll pay more. If the bike isn't delivered Wednesday i will start chasing my deposit back. The guy has been messaging using a particular name that I have checked on fb. It seems legit. maybe I'm just a bit paranoid.

Morning Struan,

We were on our way home from Cornwall last night and the car broke down. It's currently in the garage and I'm waiting for news on when it'll be ready. As I'm not at home we need to reschedule. Are you free on Wednesday for me to deliver and if so is the afternoon / evening OK?

If I'm not at home by then I have a friend who can deliver to you so there shouldn't be any more delays but he cannot do it before Wednesday due to working.. Apologies for this.

Dave

[Rob W]

Just sounds like a massive load of bollocks to be honest.

I wouldn't even want to give this guy any more of my money even if it is legitimate, that advert should of gone down as soon as he took your £500, I wouldn't wait any longer and just ask for your deposit back now.

its old and fat, but its a damned good ride. the bikes not bad either.

[recman]

I would give the seller the benefit of the doubt for now but don't accept any more excuses.
Some people are embarrassingly unreliable and are just oblivious of the worry their actions cause others so it could just be the case that the seller is such a person.
I also wouldn't want to miss out on the opportunity to own a rather nice bike just because the seller might be less than considerate.
I'd make the seller aware of my concerns just to see whether they take them seriously or not.
