I woulds LOVE to find the arseholes who do these rip offs and get a bunch of people together and cut their balls off and make them eat them......... :2guns:

[Cajun]

bid on and win it cheap damn bike.

[Motu]

I'm kinda tempted....a 2001 R1 with a speedo in mph is a bit rare in NZ,that'd go well with my 1971 XS1 which has a mph speedo too.

[riffer]

You can't bid on it. It's a sale notice, not an auction.

[riffer]

Filed the following report to trademe:

2001 model Yamaha R1 with such low miles, and all those extras? For only $4500.

Look at this bike for sale in a dealer, and you do the math:

I believe it is a scam. Apologies if I am wrong, but something just doesn't ad up here...

---------

I reckon it's a scam. People like this piss me off. Give trademe a bad name.

[kerryg]

It's so obviously a rip off but for fun I've e-mailed him and asked for a phone number and address where I can see it. :shifty:

Watch this space

I've just sent him an email asking if I can go and view it.

If the idiot is actually for real I will pay him cash and ride it away...:wacko:

Wow! That's one of the nicest looking cruisers yet! :love2:

Harley had better watch out. These cruisers are looking really sporty lately....

[riffer]

Keep away Zed......it's MINE............
Look REALLY hard at those brakes. They are standard R1, not PFM.

And that looks like a D&D zorst, not an Akrapovic.

[Posh Tourer :P]

I do like this quote from the auction re Shipping arrangements

i wil take care of ..., Free shipping in NZ

Looks like a man serious about selling a bike fast... didnt even have time to spell-check

Also look closely at those rims and brake lines.... Dont look too fancy to me... lines certainly dont look like "Keylar"

And check out that TAP Racking master cylinder...

The best bargain I've seen lately is in the latest Motorcycle Trader. Some privateer is offering a 2003 Yamaha FJR1300 for $14,000. Mileage not stated. That has to be a typo, or else it's been knicked!

Was it possibly an XJR?

From the photo it was definitely an FJR.
