Authentic..?

What do you boys and girls think of this..?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ducati-955-SP_...QQcmdZViewItem

My thoughts;

- The race bikes had moved to 996cc by 1996 (when this bike was registered
- Assuming the bike even had a plaque (surely poper homolgated racing bikes wouldnt?) it doesnt look authentic.
- Showa forks not ohlins
- Standard top yoke (surely a bike bound for AMA would have had a magnesium one)
- Standard swingarm (again - would have thought this should be mag)
- Surely a bike this pedigree - regardless of condition would command a figure higher than £7.5k..?

That said - the guy has dropped a couple of things in the descriotion to help inspire confidence..just wondered what you guys thought really (no doubt Harv will be along with his anorak shortly..)
