sounds fishy but if you live close by and could actually put your hands on the bike and ride it along with making sure it aint stolen it could be one hell of a deal

Go see it, ask plenty of questions this normally weeds out the scammers.

This is kind of funny..... I found a thread on a different forum... in Scotland!!! A member is asking about this same bike with the same VIN. He's worried because it's in American colors and this was posted back in Feb 2005. If this doesn't make sense.... RUN AWAY!!!!!! The seller is just trying to get a batch of valid email address. If you contact him, he'll probably never reply back.


PM me if you'd like to see the thread for yourself.... can't link to another forum in threads. It's not a competitor or anything and it's a very basic, plain forum. I only found it by typing VIN JH2PC37034M106722 into a Google search. The first hit was this forum with the questions.

probably right. i ran into something very similar to this. a customization company in indianapolis (one hour from me) was selling a turbo/stretched/lowered/nitrous hayabusa with a buy it now price of $3500. i don't like busas but what a steal. i emailed them and called them (ran the company's name on information). no answers and number had been disconnected. if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
