And

On 07-Dec-11 at 10:04:22 AEDST, seller added the following information:

Just to add,this item is advertised elsewhere and i have the right to remove at anytime. thanks.


And it has been relisted. Stay away.

Yes there is something suss it got relisted though because he had multiple titles ie it xr ts etc you can't do that I'd say someone complained to ebay just to bugger him up he says in the add he knows how much they have worth he told me a lot of figures he has seen them sell for. ::)

Stew they are much better looking stickers and you get the big bulky taillight aswell as the big base kickstand. ;D

FFS  it's nothing special   same old  motor - frame - etc as the 1980 and 81
 what you are paying  big $$$ for is nothing more than stickers - folding  gear and brake lever....it is basic follow on model . Oh and its a PE  400 Z  ???
Missing quite a few of the hard to obtain bits ... battery box - blinkers - mirror - tail light - kick stand - speedo -  front light assembly   all of which are like rocking horse shit.
Agreed. A futile exercise.

It hasn't been re listed yet I can't understand why he wouldn't be happy with where it got to I wonder if it sold outside of the auction, thanks Michael.

Relisted with no reserve, so should go for a reasonable price, rather than the Maico 490 valuations.
PE400 is a nice bike.

"missing batt box, kick stand,speedo front light and blinkers. You can find these parts easily etc. "
Those easy to find parts...  I wonder when he last tried to locate these?
if anybody has them under dust in their shed, speak up. I'll take them.
