This looked all up a bit suspicious, underpriced to all the rest.... one photo looking like its been sitting a while, and a new trader... anybody had an r1 like this get nicked? may be fully legit but figured best to check

BogOff-Cant you see I'm busy?
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.
PHEW.....JUST MADE IT............................. UP"
Double shot!!
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.
Double shot!!
What I mean is, if someone buys a brand new R1, they aint gunna treat it like that unless they have no feelings for anything.

lol. Uh, it looks like its in a shed to me. Do R1's reflect the sky and trees through tin roofs? I didn't think they were that cool.

Thats the price it needs to be to sell Mark...
I got $8500 for my Busa and it had done 22kms....And was a 2004..
Nothing fckin selling on trade me at there inflated prices ! ! !
Crazy Steve...
For whom the bell tolls
+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.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

You'd be surprised. Have seen $30K + Ducati's looking far worse than that from "neglect".What I mean is, if someone buys a brand new R1, they aint gunna treat it like that unless they have no feelings for anything.
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

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.
