Thing is, is the identity on the sale the real seller or is it a case of id theft? Like iconic says he does look too good to be true.

I think thats just the wannabee R

I wonder where all the standard parts came from ?
It would cost more in parts that the cost of a 999r
Also what is he racing that has all the r parts

maybe he really did swap every part except the silver plate,
or maybe he just swapped the silver plate

Howcome the original 916 set the trend, then we put up with all the encarnations, 996 998 etc..... then when we get the original 999 the same doesnt apply? :P

If you look at his feedback he sold a £700 ecu yesterday for £26quid and the buyer has left feedback already????????????????????????

Could one of the techy geniuses not post an interesting question so as to alert the unsuspecting?

[andyb]

I havnt reported it, dont just yet!

Looking at the 'seller's history i wonder if we could contact one of the persons that seller has done a deal with?

They may have exchanged email addresses or telephone numbers. Then we could speak with the genuine person prove hes had his id nicked and then................

Would the potential id thief have developed this scam as way back as dec 03? I doubt it. What about trying to contact that purchaser?

[Iconic944ss]

Since I know little of the 999 - it seems to me that this guy is trying to make out that a standard 999 was really a 999R originally and happens to have a 999R plaque and presentation case.

have I got this right?

Is it possible to recognise any parts as being from a 999R? It does not appear to have it written on the fairing etc.

Feedback - another good spot the ECU feedback is too soon unless the guy lives close and went and picked it up himself.

Logical route might be to email the bidders and warn them but....the the rooster might fly the coup !!!

I can not see any 999r parts. Everyting I can see is from a standard 999 BIP

I can't be certain about the frame.

BIP subframe
BIP seat unit
Front forks
Front Brakes
Fairings

All of these would be different on the R
