Am i missing something? 2008 GSXR 1000 with 2800 km for only $5000?

:blink:

Im guessing the rear wheel is being held on the other side with some twigs and superglue.

saw it too when trolling through trademe just before. Also had the same thought. Seems its been caught out early on though. Just like when I saw an add for a bike just like the one I had written off, the same year, same k's on clock, super cheap because of a little crash damage.... Seems it was MY bloody bike on trademe before the insurance company had agreed to sell it back to me.

I looked and a few minutes later got this from trademe

Well that explains it. Was an odd looking bike too.
