Default I hate seeing stuff like this...

Ive often herd of people stealing bikes, parting them and selling them on E-bay. So when i see something like this i really wonder if it was or not. Its practically the entire bike minus the frame... (97' 900RR yellow)

Hey, lets get everyone in here to ask him suspicious questions... like, "May I ask where you got these parts?" or "Can I come and check out all the stuff you've got for sale so that I can get a better look." How about, "Can you get me a rear subframe from a '03 CBR600RR and how soon can you get it?" or "I see that you've got a lot of parts for sale off the same bike... where's the frame?"

or maybe he got the bike from a salvage yard with a junk frame...or maybe he's converting the bike to a racebike and doesnt need the stock parts. im not saying that this is the case; im just saying that its possible.

LOL

Stop calling me RADIO, unit 91...

HAHAHAHAHAHHA

At any rate, the guy has 800+ FB on eGay, you'd think the cops would look at a guy like that.

Either way, he must be getting it legit. Probably at auction.
