It's the real deal.. The bike Chad used at the US Open Supercross. What looks replica about it? Have you done the maths on what it would cost to build such a bike with Pro Circuit Showa A kit suspension, Pro Circuit engine etc??

Just very wary of the claims people often make about the provenence of bikes on eBay. Was suspicious of the earlier lack of evidence it was Chads bike and the dodgy looking email as a contact. Why wasnt the bike being sold via a puka business operation of some sort rather than by some individual..... Seems too special not to be. Probably just paranoid  ;D ;D

Anyway looks like it is attracting lots of attention with 34 bids and $23k so far. Some extra further info is on eBay now directing to Chads twitter account for verification. Also some updated info about engine etc. Sure is a special bike though with all the fruit.

That email address is for Chad's team manager Dave 'ozzy' Osterman.
The bike is now also advertised on Chad's  Two Two Motorsports facebook page.
