I was looking around and found this outfit from Canada selling new bikes,but it didn't state which currency (theirs or ours) it's in.
I'm sure it would be in their currency,however,it is on a New Zealand website.

Check it out.

Has anyone heard of or dealt with them by any chance?
What would be the exchange rate between us and them?

How could they possibly have brand new 2004 bikes?

**Metalor** · 12th June 2009, 18:32

Haha, yep, definitely a scam. Did a search of MotorcyclesSportcity Ltd and all that pops up is that post on other forums and people asking if they're legit.

Wonder if anyone has been stupid enough to give them money?

Would imagine so,theres still Kiwis dumb enough to send money to Nigeria so as to receive $1000000,000000 back.

Any 'business' with a potentially anonymous email address such as hotmail, yahoo or similar is immediately suspect in my book and should be treated as such.

Well,...I did see a brand new 1987 bike that hasn't been used at all for sale the other day,and i have seen 3 year old new bikes.It amazes me how people buy a bike,and never use it.

As for the scam,i need to learn more about internet/computers.

Wouldn't a "brand new" 1987 bike have corroded internals and rotten tyres and hoses?

**Squiggles** · 12th June 2009, 19:13

2 day delivery time =\

Not necessarily.
That would depend on how you stored it.

Yeah,sure if you want to leave it outside,and forget about it.

Holy shit! 12years old,new bike.

Wonder what sort of price it's going for,in comparison to 1997?
