The Internet Mechanic!!

I wouldn't have said anything but the text, the re listing, and the ridiculous price open him up for criticism.....

Buy a shabby '88 model...then buy all the cheapest components from eBay...slap all the stickers from said purchases all over the bike inclusive the shock body..classy .... and put a price up to 4 times the actual value on it. Don't even worry about the rear guard being on straight or putting fork boots on it.

Like most of you I am into it all for an appreciation of the era, the racing and the love of the sport.  These guys are just trying cash in...... grrr..

Yep, I've seen it floating around the internet a bit. With that tank there's a fair chance it's a US import as well.....just to add salt to the wound.

Why isn't there any side shots of the bike? Is he trying to avoid showing us something?
