Good spot andyb, trouble is someone who isn't clued up is going to get well stung with this. Not that I would ever buy a vehicle of fleabay but I wouldn't know detail like you have just pointed out as I am sure many won't.
Well it's certainly been over as the clutch cover is bent in. Its probably an unrecorded build up, which would explain the change in engine or frame numbers when hpi'd I think you'd do better asking him what class he raced in and some other racing technical questions.
As already pointed out this seller has got a 32 rating with 100% feedback, this is split more or less 50/50 as a buyer/seller. Prehaps this bloke just does not know what he is talking about (obvious I know) or what he has got, some one should point it out the technical errors in his description and see what he say's, I am quite happy to do this except I am not clued up on 999's. I also noticed he has been bidding on cars and car parts he may be a car dealer and may have taken the bike in as a part ex, and the racing story is just the one he was told.
Come on - any car dealer that takes a blind bit of notice of some guy's story without checking out the facts and knowing for definite what he's buying wouldn't last in the trade!
All car dealers will screw you for every last penny and know exactly the margins they're working on, and won't touch anything they don't know the exact price of.
It sounds more like a write-off & rebuild if you ask me.
