EDIT by Jak:
Now we know this is a scam - let's wind him up ....
Bidders are:-
#3 = Tony
#4 = Wicky
#5= Jak
#6= Martin
#7 = Greg
#8 = Tony again
#9 = Dill
Anyone else wanna join in the fun? 
Martin, hope you didn't mind - I've changed the title too so more people see this

Bloody hell, the cheeky git, he only bought it the other day (and he's using Greg's description and picture!!!)
Maybe it's Greg under a new name .......

its more likely to be a scam
especially with zero feedback
same happened to my mate when he sold his GT750 kettle, after it finished someone(who didnt win it) used his photos and descriptions to create a false listing
suggest he reports it to ebay pronto

oh yeah ... that's a point ... Greg said the guy who bought it was based in Hull. So this is probably a scam...

This one and thought it was too good to be true!

Just asked this question...
Do you have a buy it now price for this ? I've been after one of these for ages now and this looks like it's in really good condition. Can you tell me about its service history and how many previous owners it's had?
Thanks
so I'll post his reply, if any .... And - I see some poor sap has bid on it... here's a thought, why don't we ALL bid on it, see how high we can get the price then I'll messge Eflay to let them know he's a scammer...!

i stuck £500 on it
tonydevils question to seller wrote:Hiya, i really like this bike, looks lovely.
a real shame your selling, the other bike must be a beauty!
i assume cash on collection is ok, i'm local to london so collection is easy.
thanks
Tony.
