Don't think this one's been posted.....

Amazingly low miles if genuine!
Edit: just looked up the seller's finished items to see about the claim of the previous buyer not contacting. The bike 'sold' for £5100 last time. There's one (RT) up with 7000 miles BIN for £5K...
Possibly rather OTT to say the least!

hardly classify this as a "junk find" but it was mentioned before and it made £5600 or something.
clearly the winner vanished into thin air / fantasy land.
the joys of ebay.

Re: eBay 'specials' and other junk finds
Sorry, I wasn't completely sure if 'special' was tongue in cheek or not, seeing as I couldn't find a thread for less shady auctions... Perhaps I didn't look back far enough? I didn't think it was worth a thread of its own....

It's just sold for £3600 and it's now been re-listed AGAIN with a £3000 start and reserve not met
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
