Don't know he probally make a mistake listing the price at $2700, otherwise why leave a phone number?  Give him a call and tell him you would like to come out and see the bike.  Easiest way to find out if it's BS or not.

Maybe 12,700?

if it is 2,700 just do it, a freaking busa headlight has to be worth that much.

Does that picture really look like a busa?  I thought they had more plastic around their rears...never seen one in person though... :dunno_white:

Looks like it has been stretched, lowered, and had various bits and pieces polished. Bling bling? I don't understand some people. It's probably just a typo.

it is either for real with a typo, or your standard internet ad scam.  Usually the scams have unrealistically low prices, but that one is positively unbelievable.

This can't be a coincidence. I wonder if this is the same guy:

http://zpg.ziply.com/zpg/us/ViewCA.php?idno=54595

When I emailed him, he claims to be on a business trip in england and when I asked to see the bike in person he had an excuse. When I called up the listed number, the person who picked it up said it's the wrong number.
So this sure looks like a scam.
I'm glad I found this board. It pays to look around first.
Google is your friend :)
