Wow. Holy shit!

Did you notice that there isn't any rubber trim on the quarter fairing, and the red plug caps? :smt017

I saw it's come up on the yama-rd forum too, and they say he's a dodgy dude. Spotted even more flaws (side-cover bottom should be black instead of white, etc).

He wont let people see it, and has a bad rep apparently. Tread carefully..

Pity, much more interesting that the new 60's? triumph that was for sale in aus a while ago, hadn't even been filled with oil.. $AU22k or something..

Go to the UK forum and look up 'mailboxesetc', that used to be this guys seller name. See what people think of him on there. There is actually a post on this item, http://www.yamaha-rd.com/forum/topic-61 ... 629cb2806c
