1400 on eBay uk

[shanered6]

Reading the the add agian i think it is very very dodgy and already doing over 5k  someone is buying a hole load of trouble !!
The odd thing is how short is this bloke ?? the 14 is a big bike but it sure aint the tallest and he says he has other bikes !! ... what are they ?.. monkey bikes !!

[Mister Fishfinger]

I don't know, I think it could be genuine. I don't think it's a good buy, because it isn't healthy to have a vehicle sitting around unused for all that time, but looking at the ends of the silencers for example I could believe it. If you were to look up close you could probably see other signs too. Like no dents in the oil cooler fins, stuff like that.

But if you were to buy it you'd need to change the tyres, replace all the fluids (maybe the hoses too), flush the tank and teabag, maybe strip and check the brakes. It's a lot of work.

[Sweaty]

That's my thought, just to clarify.
When I say it's dodgy, I think it is a well used bike in poor condition, that is being sold off as a rare barn find. And some poor bugger is going to pay way to much for it 👎

Ye thats what im getting at to ... i think its well used and been clocked !

[Basil Brush]

Do you know I was gonna post on here - being a suspicious old git.

1) Why show K2/K3 pics? Thats not a normal farm frontage in pic 1.

2) Quality of pic is abysmal. But, they do show bad corrosion in usual places.

3) Hardly great feedback?

£5200 with eight days to go...?

I have worked out the registration of the bike and its been off the road since 2013 (last MOT & TAX) - the interesting thing is that there is no previous MOT history (checkthecar.com) - my ZRX has been off the road since 2014 and all the previous MOT's are showing the mileage and history so like a lot of you chaps Im not sure on this one

Ive cleaned up the photos and the tank doesn't look dented the forks look cleanish and as said no damage to oil cooler but something is just a bit off on it as in the grab rail is well worn (could be form pushing it about the place

my adverts are always very thorough and all the photos I can get but that's me - todays generation take all photos on phone and list advert via smart phones

I think I've been a bit of a twat bidding on this

1/ I never noticed K2 in 1st pic & K3 in the others
2/ the tarnished clocks I did notice but tarnished casings didn't see
3/ that grab rail does looked well used I only saw that tonight

Just shows you, I've had quite a few of these but could of been easily caught out had the eagle eyes of others, ah well my BMW GS is away to a new home so need to keep my feelers out for a companion for my MZ Baghira

[Irish in Oz]

I hope I never have to sell my 1400.

[Kiwifruit]

I like mine so much l might clean it this arvo   

[Tony Nitrous]

Local wreckers has a black tank, chrome headlight and a set of clocks in stock. All the parts that are damaged or missing from mine. I did think about it, but although better than what i have, all 3 items he has have marks or light damage, and all 3 together add up to near to $1000 !

Maybe not !!!!

[KiwiCol]

Nothing wrong with the clocks you've got Tony.  Ours can't recall stuff like yours can.  My speedo corrector can bring up the highest speed with a few button pushes, but that's as close as we can to what you've got.

Nah, $1000, Better off putting it into gas & hotel accommodation for roadies!

I'll go with that... 


Yeah, my KOSO speedo would be more accurate than factory as its quite easy to adjust for tyres sizes etc. I like mine but they don't really suit the retro style. If the bits had been cheap enough I'd have returned mine to a more original style and used the headlight on another ET build and the clocks on my Busa. I thought the fault code on the original clocks might be handy, I've used the one on my Busa.

I'd retract my bid if I were you. Until you have seen the bike in the flesh.

Amazes me he mentioned "Loads of bikes and cars". Yet virtually never used eBay. In 5 years. 5 transactions. Heck, I'm well above that - and I only have one bike.

Cases (the one you can see is rank). Grabrail. Oil/mucky hands or corrosion cannot tell from the crap pictures.

Still not removed picture of K2.

Avoid.

[Mister Fishfinger]

I don't know if it's genuine or not but I wouldn't bid on a bike I hadn't seen, no matter how good it looks in the pics.

[Mick_J]

Pictures can be deceiving, I bid and won a  BMW K1100 a few years ago and the chap agreed to deliver it.  When I arrived it was a bloody shed, covered in corrosion and looking very sad but it would not start and when he did get it going with a jump start from his car the ABS light was on so I told him to shove it, it's not as described so he had to take it home.  He contacted me a few days later and said he had fixed it and the ABS light was off so do I still want it, er NO.
