    Judging by the surrounds and garage set up, I'd say it's legit. Surely a great bike for that price, though a tad high in the mileage (for its age).

    Some would be wary though of only 4 'feedbacks' but that might be a wife's or daughter's account.

    In our country, this bike costs about $ 12,000 - $ 13,000. A nightmare :confused:

    I reckon stolen pics and if you look at dash it says 2k miles. Maybe a type on the listing?

    All feedback on purchases on same day...

    Mine is worth about 2k if bikes like this are getting priced at 5k.

    As there’s a typo with the miles there’s probably one with the price :D

    Mileage is wrong on ad compared to pictures, price could be deposit but who knows! To little information for me, I’d be asking lots of questions

    To many maybes

    Mesaage the seller, if they come back saying bike is in a different location to them so you can't view it......but, they will deliver it for free!!! All you have to do is pay them direct into there bank but it looks like pay pal? If you don't like the bike you can send it back blah blah blah then it's a scam!

    Have some fun with them first though.....tell them you want it and you'll pay the money.....lead them on for a while before telling them too fuck right off you theiving cunts!!:mad:;)

    Huh?

    See post #7:)

    Hi there.

    As a preliminary query, could you advise whether you've had any ABS issues with the bike, i.e. lever to the bar moments?

    Are the tyres the originals?

    Congrats on its condition, could be interested in viewing at your convenience.

    Kind regards
    Nigel

    I sussed that. And if it is a scam, I'll be joining you!!

    On the other hand, I've already filled my car in preparation for a trip to Maidenhead, which, coincidentally, if where I bought the RS50s. (different seller though)
