Hey guys i just stumbled across this listing on tardme in the gloves section and it seems a tad suspicious to me... Just thought i would check to see if anyone has had thier xr 125 stolen or whatever... Cant cause any harm.

To list a bike costs $25. He may have listed it there to avoid the fee.

Occassionally Trade Me stuff up and plonk stuff in the wrong place....

But how would one start it if one cant kick start it... as the seller has stated... He doesnt seem to know a lot about the bike either.

It is out in West Auckland.... so if anyone wants it checked out..
find out the addy and contact those of us out west to go and look at it..

Yeah sorry i didn't quite understand the first time... It makes sense but it just seemed a bit dodgy... and i have had three motorbikes stolen from me in my three years of riding bikes so i know what it feels like... so i thought it wouldnt do any harm to check.

EDIT: it is possible to jump start a bike... Push it along in second and then jump on it and dump clutch and away you go... did it to my old DT125. The seller didn't even know that it was an XR... they thought it was a cr.
