Methinks a soothing hot bath, a glass or two of a charming little Chilean pinot grigio and a big hand full of chill pills might be just what this excitable boy needs.  ::) It's an RM400T not a Manx bloody Norton. ;D

It's amazing what a great description can do (not that this one is great). There was a very secondhand and wornout washing machine on Trade-me a few years ago with a description worthy of a movie script. The said washing machine sold for about $5700.00. :o

I thought Meguire levers were Irish.  ???

What's with the stupid front number plate. Easily available from Suzuki...

Looks OK, but I reckon you might just be in for a few surprises on closer inspection.

It's a deathtrap. Imagine the first landing after the first jump when the front brake backing plate gives way and the unsecured brake cable gets wrapped up in the front wheel!

Prime example of more is less.
Sounds like Kramer after he won free coffee for life.

That tank looks a little wierd... i'd prefer the stock tank and front plate.

He has a lot of bad spelling and grammar for someone that used to write technical articles for cycle news.

And for the title of wordiest auction ever may go to the 490 he sold…

And the buyer left feedback as “item as described”   lol

That guy has waaaay too much time on his hands..
He sure knows how to make a bike ugly with the wrong tank and sidecovers

That's downright bizarre. What would inspire someone to write so much utterly turgid rubbish about bikes that are not even original? Those weird tank/plastics combos look terrible, esp the 490.

F@%k me , has anybody actually read all of this if you ask me through my eyes a GREAT description from a very troubled mans repetitive non sensicle drible that he must have started being writting in 1979  :'(  :-\

I'm a compulsive reader yet I haven't been able to make it past half way in any of his ads....even the one for the engine. His tech article submissions to Cycle would have been a joy to the editor :o.
