    This bike runs on Combustible Gasoline! Amazing new product.

    Nah, it must be a trademe scam run by someone in a place where they don't speak any English. I've emailed them saying I'd like to buy, I'll post up what happens.

    Edit: oh, I see it says 1.9l elsewhere ..

    But the ads do say "Free shipping within New Zealand".

    However for some reason I vaguely suspect a scam here.

    Have you looked at the sellers feedback ... it's all fake!

    This is a sophistocated scam with 7 bikes, all worth more than $15k each for about $1,800. The auctions are all for 24hrs and they were listed after the Trademe call centre had closed for the day which means that people like us can't ring them up and have the auctions pulled - before it's too late.

    If 7 people get sucked into buying these bikes tonight and paying the money, before Trademe opens in the morning the scam artist will have cleared $10,000!!!

    Amazing

    Engine capacity 1.085 cm3 more like 1085 cm3. 1.085 cm3 - my bloody chainsaw has more cc's.

    If you are going to scam at least make is look somewhat realistic dipshit (whoever you are)!

    It's cos the spammer copied the ad from a European one. Some European countries, they use a period ( a ".") in numbers where we use a comma. He meant 1,085cc.
