They keep trying it on
SumpMagnet:
Sometimes, it's a question of having a deep knowledge of a specific model.... and I know I lack the skill to do that...but there are others exploiting the 'SOHC Classic Bandwagon' which get me annoyed. Here is one example.

This was up for sale at that money last year when I bought my F2. For less than half that money.
Or this sort of thing:

Where the thing is blatantly a tarted up and overpriced. Mind you...I encountered stock from this very same place, and it was hiding many 'issues' including swingarm bearings so shot the swingarm hit the pillion footrest hangars and had a brand new MOT from....them. ~They send all their stock out to ber valeted...and silicon spray everything to make it look shiny. They also offered a full 12 month warranty on the engine and gearbox...which excluded all moving parts. Cams, crank, pistons, bores, camchain, clutch, gears, selectors....valves, guides, springs, bearings. Apparantly it WOULD cover the crankcases for faults excluding accident damage. But not a cracked barrel casting or damaged liners.

That would be a great shame Dave.

There are con men in all areas of life, including the banks, the politicians, the police, the media....(all the institutions that you thought you could rely on when you were a kid growing up) not just on ebay, thats life. don't let them spoil your pleasure, use your intelligence and experience to steer clear of them where possible. Ignore them, don't let them put you off.
