Email him and I bet you find out the bike is out of hte country or osmething. Or the guy is a Somalian King and wants you to transfer some money.

i'd say it's a scam.

when sellers on CL don't include a phone #, i get iffy about it.

scam. main way to tell is:
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">
# yes -- it's ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests</TD></TR></TABLE>

no real poster will leave that checked...

SCAM!
Here's how you can tell
"Engine Size (cc): 1000 "
Anyone true RC51 owner knows that it's a 999cc bike.

The price is also half of what it should be, and he included his email in the ad, even though the craiglist email is supplied at the top.

I would email him anyway and ask.
