Not a bad price?
philward:
Now you have given input I remember an advert last year for a Z1 at about half the going rate and when I looked at the other items, they where all high end bikes and cars at low prices - seem to remember you had contact them by email so maybe their after a route to personal details via paypal email? Posted as curious - wasn't in the market for it

MrDavo:
The ad seems to have been pulled, which tells you something.
I used to be involved with a site called Scamwarners, so I have seen a bunch of these over the years, and gone along with a few, to see what would happen.
There would have been an unexpected twist to this, commonly the bike is overseas, or the owner is working overseas / on an oil rig, but the bike can be yours as long as you put the money into an escrow account (I've had faked emails from 'eBay Europe'), or alternatively someone else has just agreed to buy it, unless you can send a deposit (or all the money) now, by some untraceable means such as Western Union.
The common thing in all these scams is stolen photos of a desirable bike / car, a new or hijacked eBay account and a price that's so good that you just have to have it, even if it means telling your common sense to shut the f*ck up.

That's the scam angle I was requesting. Buyer beware if you can't see it and run it, run away. There's some stupid people in the world that would fall for that.

Pulled off by ebay as if it didn't exist. Here is the original.

I would have to see it running, at the seller's premises, with the V5, MOT etc before handing over any coinage. All this "seller is on an oil rig" would be ringing alarm bells big time. I can't believe there's so many gullible people about.
