Too cheap 996???

Just came across this - is it me or should we steer clear???
I know it's yellow, and obviously that will drag the price down, but less than £2.5k???

Seems unbelievably cheap.

The old saying applies 'If it looks to good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true'

Only thing i can say is the description sounds American with references to gas tank, kick stand, rear directionals etc. has the guy nicked the copy from a genuine ad (may be American of course).

May still be worth following it up to see if its genuine or a scam.

Definitely a shot of a bike somewhere in America.

Apart from the 'gas tank' references that BDG has pointed out, how many Brits have wooden clapboard houses?

Why do I get the feeling it's one of those
'just send me the money, with £200 for shipping, and I'll send you the bike' type things

Do the Americans think we are stoopid or sumfink?
