devils advocte says those are the best pictures he has. We need someone local to go look at it. Having a VIN number is a good sign, not definative tho

Look like one that we see once in awhile roaming around town. It stands out with that color and is hard to miss. That price though. Hmmm

Good eye, took me a couple looks to locate the car~!~

I guess its the LEO in me...



I messaged the seller via eBay and havent got a response. Just asked if I could come look at the bike and if i wanted it to end the auction...

I would never pay $1000 to anyone I didn't know. May or may not be a scam but why take the chance. Not only that, he is high on the price.

Good thing we have this board to help prevent fraud for those of us owners savvy enough to post here.
Happy T-Day!

Am I wrong but could you not find a better deal than a 5yr old bike with 21,000 miles on it for 7k ? ??? Heck I think another 1-2 and you could drive home a brand new leftover ????

Just make sure the title is real and matches the vin. Also make sure the title is current / compare it with his vehicle registration as well. make sure it matches the end date of the tags and Lic. of the bike.
