    Hi did anyone notice the 2012 race blade up for sale on eBay.
    It was white, blue and white. Price £8500.
    It had no V5 and no paperwork of proof of purchase.
    Would anyone buy.
    It has only 2000 miles.
    Front ohlins forks meant to be Jason ohallorans, also the rear ttx shock has JOH stencilled on it.
    Buy or not to buy.

    Mmm sounds dodgy but could be a perfectly good reason for not having any documents.

    Since it doesn't have a V5 IMO £8.5k is very top dollar.

    Just found out the bike is a cat B. Was not mentioned when buying the bike.
    Had to find out myself.

    Not the worst of things mate.

    Our Gixxer is a the same Cat and there is feck all wrong with it. Just a scratch to the frame.

    Find out why it was Cat B'd

    Other thing with it is that it should have a COD (certificate of destruction) to show that if cannot be put back on the road. This does not mean that it has to be crushed lol, it's just to take it off of the DVLA system. You also don't need to worry about SORN the bike every year.

    I also enquired about it but was sadly put off at that price as I got the feeling it could of been stolen.. It had some juicy parts on tho
