You only want me to buy it so you can ride it; which I guess you'd do pretty soon after I got it. Following that, you wouldn't really worry massively if the engine grenades or if I've got a horribly big service bill. Oddly enough, I would. I've sent the vendor an email asking "what's wrong with it" and "did you have the 800 quid service done". So far he's not answered, I find this *slightly* concerning since I'd assume he would be in when the auction's ending. Maybe not. I'm close to giving this one a miss, although you'll be pleased to hear I've bid on two others (lost) and am currently watching another. -- K75RT, K1100LT, ZXR750H1, 5TA.

Also, he claims he's moving to Spain but isn't flogging anything else on eBay. I'm worried because I understand some disreputable sorts view eBay as an outlet for the crap that they don't want to keep themselves because it's unreliable and they can't get the dealer to take it back.

Seems like a Bitsa, I'm assuming you avoided it? which seems sensible. There are lots of detail differences between the 916 and 996. Item 120139935072 has all the goodies fitted and looks like an excellent bike for a little more than the bitsa sold for. Hmm I looked again and it even has Marchesini's fitted. WUN could have bought that and had a proper Yellow bike. -- Hog '03 ST4S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 |
