alright, need some opinions. The guy with the black 2006 R6 sent me these two emails in response to my offer:
| QUOTE | Hello,
The bike is still for sale. The bike is in very good shape , no mechanical problems and never been involved in accidents . It has no scratches and also the title is clear. I'm the original owner of the bike. I sell it because I just moved here in England , I have a new job here and I don`t need the bike anymore . I work in Public relations departament at a hotel here and because of this job I change my home quite often. Here I had an unpleasant surprise because the bike is an US model and to pay the registration here in Europe, to pass all the emissions and standards and many other would be quite expensive and nobody would do it. I have tried to sell it locally but it was not succesfully. That is why I am trying to sell the bike back in USA, there will be no further problems .The shipping and handling are included in the price. The transaction will be done trough the Cycle Trader purchase protection program.
Let me know if you are interested or if you need more details about the bike .
thank you |
| QUOTE | Hi, the bike is right now here in London, England. The ad have been ended at cycle trader website. I dont have any other pics, sorry.
The price is $2800. For our protection the transaction will be made trough the Cycle Trader purchase protection program that protect all the cycle trader buyers and sellers. A transaction will be started at the cycle trader and after that they will contact you with the payment instructions. As soon the payment will be done, they will send me a confirmation to ship the bike.
After you will receive the bike you will have 5 days to test and inspect the bike. If there will be any problems with the bike, you can return it back . I will pay for all taxes, but i can asure you that the bike is in perfect condition.
The payment informations will be hold by the cycle trader until you will receive and fully inspect the bike. No payment will be received by me until you will confirm to them that you are agree with this purchase.
I will need to know your full name and your address for shipping. As soon i will have this informations i will contact cycle trader to start the transaction.
thank you |
I'm rediculously skeptical about this one, especially given the "oh yeah i'm in the UK right now" trend. Not to mention the $2,800 for the bike which includes overseas shipping... thoughts? EDIT: nevermind, i went to cycle trader and read over their "Fraud Prevention" thing and it says they offer no "Purchase Protection Program" or anything of that sort. 3 for 3 on bogus bikes...

well, went up and checked it out the original R6 i posted in this thread and the pictures don't do it justice. it's gorgeous, sounds like it runs well, the yoshi exhaust sounds incredible, good throaty, deep roar to the engine. just looks like the right side was laid down, minor scratch on the lower fairing, the frame slider is scraped down, and the exhaust pipe has some minor scraping on it. but otherwise the coloring and body is great. also, the front turn signals weren't working so might have a minor repair.
$3,200 was the lowest he'd go, so that's base price plus $250 documentation fee (?), and 241 in tax/title so final price is $3,691.50 if i want it. i'm debating. i really liked it when i saw it, it fits me well size-wise... gah...
