Scrolling through ebay this morning looking for my soon to be upgrade and came across this little gem.

Anyone here got any idea if this bike really is a collectors item as stated and would anyone ever consider paying that much for said bike.
Considering the pics that are included in the advert, I am thinking this is one massive piss-take.:Rossi:
Made me chuckle anyway.:)

I'd be very sceptical. I'd rather refurbish one, you'd probably do it for half the price and have it in better condition than one thats never been riden.

Well spotted :ayyy:
Oh and just so it is clear, I never had ANY intentions of bidding on this thing. Just caught my eye that in amongst the 10-15k bikes there was a +75k. :confused1:
Yeah don't know wtf is up with the self portrait or map of the parklands. Think someone might have had a bit too much medicine before posting the advert :beer::beer::beer::lmao:

Well Wetty has already called it but may as well add a thing or two.
The speed in which the difital trip meter is shown only goes do 160 for am 100cc bike where the speedo is marked as km/h - nope, something out of whack there.
Also the pic taken looking along the bike (third down, right column) shows the bike with white dials/speedo yet the digital pic shows black.
Looks a mis-match of sorts

Nicely spotted:ayyy:
Yeah the fact that two different bikes are shown (one black and one white) in the pics was kinda setting of alarm bells for me too. :lmao:

Yeh, i spotted the speedo thing too.
Have a look at the corrosion on the front shock bodies, and the radiator. Doesnt look like its only done 800k's
Furthermore, its has a broken fairing RHS, where it bulges forwards for the handlebar clearance.
Tell him he is dreaming. i might post some questions, what do you reckon?

I may be wrong, but I havent seen a bike with a plastic screen covering the speedo, with the reset button sticking out through the screen either. I have only ever seen that on a car, which would explain the max 160km/h. Probably the speedo of a Barina or the likes, where the cars had analogue speedo's with digital trip meters as well. Also good to notice that the digital part is showing the trip meter for a current trip, not the total kms of the vehicle....

yeh, i was thinking that too, perhaps its from the speedo of the brumby in the background......

where it shows the black dials it's an obvious Pic of the Odometer, but it is showing TripA instead... how useless is that to show low km's??

I will admit I have owned a suzuki the same bike but the "J" model black/red/white which at the time was one of the best bikes around. The "J" was the best one.

he's obviously hoping there's a sucker in every crowd. even if the thing was brand new never used and just maintained and started and run to keep seals and bearings in good cond, it still wouldn't be worth more than 25 max to a collector specifically liking these. guy's just taking the piss hoping someone hits the button accidentally or kidding so he can take them to court for entering into a binding bid...
i also have a $20,000 unused rear sprocket from a boldor. i should list it?
