    extra number added into the phone number 04 213 40000 and most likely is 04 213 4000

    How ever the that regional number is Wellington 04 and the site says hes in Auckland which should be 09

    Sounds suspect to me

    The comment "Have revs certificate(clear title)" suggests that it is in Australia.

    I got the call from a good KB friend for this as I was away from tinternet, knowing that evening mentioning SP near me stirs immediate tent pitching. Suspected the price, but rang to no avail....its a crime to tease me so....why doesnt the press get hold of this...I'D BE IN FOR THE PROTEST, CALL SOLIDARITY!

    Email reply from the seller...

    I appreciate that you contacted me. First i want to tell you that the bike is still for sale.Currently I'm in Sydney Australia where I'm staying with my son and his wife.My son had a heart attack and needs a triple bypass,and this is why I decided to move here with my wife to take care of him.He may not make it after operation so I have to stay here.I want to sell the bike because I don't have any money and I must stay with him.
    I am the first owner and the bike is in very good condition, never dropped or wrecked, always kept in a garage ,Kilometres 13,100 and the price is $3900 .
    I'm ready to ship the bike anywhere in AU and New Zeiland because I have already paid the shipping fee's. If you are serious interested then I just need your name and address so I can start the shipping procedure. The shipping company is going to contact you with more details and they can provide you more info's.
    If you decide to buy the bike you will not pay any taxes. The bike can by register under your name without any problems. The shipping company has made the papers you just need to sign them after you receive the bike. I'm going to give you 5 days to test it and check the papers and then you can purchase it
    I have the papers ready i just need a delivery address and a serious buyer.
    So if you are serious interested please let me know,we will discus the payment options and maybe we can get to a deal!
    Waiting your email.Thanks

    Look at the English in that reply. Strangely reminiscent of all the 419 email scams. You know, the boys for Nigeria emailing saying they have $10,000,000 (TEN MILLION DOLLARS) that they wish to transfer to you and you can keep 10% as your commission.

    Beware. Seriously; beware.

    Pretty sure the catch is that the bike doesn't exist.

    The old "sick relative" trick is pretty pathetic. I had this woman apparently from South Africa want me to send my bike to her to be there for her son who was working on an oilrig...and returning home...

    I would get the money as soon as the bike arrived and would make her son very happy as it was also his birthday!

    So I sent it... then this demon asked me for a blanket as hell was getting a little chilly.
