^^^I like the fact that they put the headlight covers on before they gave up on it. Nice piece of '70s culture right there.

Even at 2,700 pesos, couldn't make this dog hunt.

Not funny, but maybe a great opportunity for those near Wisconsin. 205 vintage bikes at auction next Sunday. GS1100, 550e, CBX, Z1, 2 strokes.

Quite entertaining and filled with drama if you were in attendance and had only enough money for one bike. Hard to choose.

There's nothing particularly "bad" about this GS other than I think it is really ugly. But $4,000 - yeah right.

This is a super phishy ad. I replied by email and got this reply.



Hello and thank you for your email. I'm Rebecca, glad to see you are interested in my 2016 Triumph Tiger 800 XR ! The bike drives excellent and is without any mechanical issues. The exterior is very clean and free from sun damage. The siding and the paint still shine like new. The truth is that my husband died two months ago - he had a stroke while he was gardening in the backyard. Determined to start a new life, I sold the house and moved to my mom's in Iowa.I advertised it on other states also, to get more exposure and sell it faster. If you have any questions or need any info or photos please ask.

Thank you

Super phishy??? I don't see the problem?

[Big T]

Too much personal info, and the description of the bike is lacking. Exterior? Siding?
Who describes a bike this way?

[Burque73]

Yes, Big T my thoughts exactly.

Also, with a low retail of $6400 give or take, listing it in multiple states is not necessary. Heck, one hour at that price in any state and it's gone!

I basically got the same reply when I was interested in a ZXR-1200. The lady said the motorcycle was in Indiana but she was New York. Said something like I could buy it through E-Bay. It was some type of scam.

A clueless woman? Mentioning personal problems is gauche, so is using religious language during business transactions.

$2000 for that bike with only 4500 miles on it can only be a scam. Besides that, the wording in the ad screams hoax.
I would only buy that bike if four conditions are met. The bike, the title in the owner's/sellers name, and the seller and buyer can all be in the same place at the same time for the transaction.
