Yep, probably a factory race team by the look. The old dog collar holding half the handlebars in situ is a bit of a giveaway.

$20 grand for a Vespa with a "Mahogany Digital Veneer".

That's a lot of money for a vinyl wrap...

Wait, wasn't that advertised a couple months back? Someone posted it.

Looks like some sort of really personal bust-up to me... the thing is that it's two guys, Steve (who's listed the bike) and John (who reckons it's his bike). 4Keegan has weighed in on John's side and she's called Caroline... girlfriend? Mum? The other stuff flicked on TM is all generic flatting stuff like stereo, coffee machine, loudspeakers etc.

Well spotted Fresh Oats!

Yeah apparently his laptop too. Selling a guy's coffee machine though, that's serious.

Interesting situation and Fresh Oats' explanation hadn't occurred to me. The comment to the effect "you may be an innocent party in this" seems to make it even more complicated, and although TM have allegedly been advised the ownership is in dispute the bike is still listed.

Some people have complicated lives.

They fit on my SV650 for exactly the same reason

Perfect fit. Lighter, lower and better looking than the chunky Suzuki originals.

And my GSX-S 1000. They just needed a slight re-bushing. Bought mine from Joe Satterwhite of the Hayabusa forum. He actually modifies them and does a beautiful job.
