is this a scam?
This bike is perfect in every way. The paint is sharp with no nicks or scratches. It is a sharp Maroon. The seat is perfect with no rips or tears of any kind. It runs and drives perfect and just as it should. The transmission shifts smooth and the clutch is nice and strong. Take a look at the pictures and you will see, this bike has never seen rain. It is beautiful. The tires are in great shape. There is not a spot of corrosion or rust anywhere. It only has 1330 miles on it. Everything works perfect and just as it should.

I believe so, I keep seeing newer bikes pop up for ridiculous prices then are soon flagged and taken down.
ex:
Locally a newer GSXR 1K for $3500, low miles perfect condition. Posted a couple times and everytime lasted a day or so then was pulled.

Hi,
the bike is in great condition, has been properly maintained, has never been dropped or abused
in any way. It has a clear title and the price I`m selling it for is $2800, which is including all shippings charges.
I live in Norfolk I`m currently working in the UK (London) and I`ll be staying here for the next approximately 7 months, anyway I`m using MoneyBookers services so I can sell this bike without difficulty. I left it at their warehouse before leaving to the UK. They are supervising the entire process from payment, shipping with a 14-day inspection period included, returns (if needed) and refunding.
If you want to purchase it, let me know and I will explain you how MoneyBookers works and how we can move forward.
I am waiting your email.
Thanks

they give you a BS story about it being somewhere else and how they'll ship it to you for free as soon as you wire the money. Some are sophisticated and have escrow websites set up as well as numbers for you to call. Its not all overseas and they'll say its out here in California or somewhere in the states.
There was a guy on here a while back that fell for the scam with a 748. He wired off the money and no bike ever arrived. We told him it sounded like a scam but he said he called around and it was legit.
