Ask for the VIN and find out.

I don't think it is stolen.

The seller just has no idea as to how to sell a bike.

What one-owner bike would be kept in that condition? It looks like its got rust and birdshit all over it.

Something wrong there.

So you think number of owners directly relates to the condition of a bike? Come on.

Its just a bike and just a jappa at that. Perhaps he has just used it... not everyone loves their machine.

+1... there are a lot of people expecting too much for their bikes. The second a Japanese bike leaves the shop its lost $2k of the value it had on the shop floor. Add 20,000-30,000km and you've nearly halved its value.

You'd be surprised. Have seen $30K + Ducati's looking far worse than that from "neglect".
Some people are in a position that a bike is simply a toy and nothing more.
Hell I'm a broken arse and mine end up looking far worse :pinch:

Or heres an Idea Mark...

Maybe he only paid $10k for it 6mths ago....And is happy to call a loss of $1600...As hes raped the tyres/chain etc and they all need replacing..

And hes earning more than Marty per week......So his time is worth way more than yours.....

Yep, I'm in the market for an R1 (though in no hurry) and there is absolutely no movement in the market. Doesn't help when dreamers are asking 8/9/10 grand for a 9-10 year old R1. This one seems to be realistically priced in todays market. It gives that K3 gixxer thou on TM for $8500 a run for its money for reasonably prices 1000s I reckon. I've seen that gixxer in person, bloody nice bike too.

It looks legit. I have the rego and carjam report. Are maybe going to look at it this weekend, but I'm picking it will need a couple of grand spent on it. Tyres/chain/lube/service is a grand at least

And skiddy - you're a fucking muppet. did you even text the sellers cell # asking anything? obviously not.

Why would i when i'm not interested in buying it...

You lot really are beyond belief sometimes, i said it looked a bit suss... new trader etc etc... very vague and only one photo...

thought best to check it wasn't a nicked bike... and i get ripped into instead...

choice. :angry2:

TradeMe (and the world) is full of unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers that think their bikes age like wine.

Indeed - there's fuck all actually selling on TardMe. A bike I was keen on about 4 months ago has just been relisted at $2k more than what it didn't sell for last time around. I would have pretty much paid the asking if he'd just sent me some decent pics like I asked for before I committed to an entire day to go and view it, but no, that was too much trouble! So now the fucking clown is having another crack! Got to laugh...

without any backgrounding or justification, you started a thread titled 'possibly stolen r1'.

if it was me trying to sell it, i'd be hunting you down.

as it is the owner of it has seen this thread, and he's not happy with you at all.

LOL!!! Does anyone know skids address so we can forward it to the owner!!!:crazy: (I'm NOT serious about this by the way)

Then we can wait for the "I got a smack in the head.:bash: Its not fair" thread!

Oh shit Kiwibiker is just gold some weeks!!!! Very entertaining!! LOL!!!!:rockon:

If anybody is interested, they can check service history, and see who serviced it and ask questions ...

An R1 with recent or custom pain job would be more sus ... anybody missing one would already be checking ALL R1's listed for sale ... anywhere...

Too right about the lack of sales. A search of 'expired listings' shows that little red 'sold' flags are pretty much non-existant for most items. There's a recession on ya' know :whistle:

There are new forces driving the economy and it impacts on every one of us.

Used to be when you bought something you agreed a price based on what the item was worth.

Now vendors are charging what they think they can get for it and this is an important paradigm shift that we've not clicked to as customers.

It makes things negotiable.
