Too good to be true? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Chris84 · 03-28-2004, 04:29 PM

When it's too good to be true, 99% of the time it is. But I see these brand new 99-04 busa's R6's Gixxers, Cbr's etc going for 2-4k. And usually when you see one in an adlist the bs flag goes up. But I always see a good amount of them from all over. Would it be safe to look into one and get some details or just avoid it like the plague?

Avoid too-good-to-be true deals like the plague. If you're talking Ebay, be very careful and avoid those buy-it-now deals that seem too good to be true. I bought my bike from Ebay this winter and am pleased with it, but you really need to make sure that the deal is real. Buy it from somewhere near where you live so you can see it before cutting the final check.
