Two and a half grand for what looks like Chinese plastics, wrong colour wheels and a cut system?
Seems Dealers are trying to push prices up, especially as it's January.

Their pricing structure is extremely odd and inconsistent. They want nearly as much for a tatty Mk3 250 Gamma as they do for a MC21 and an NS400.
It's almost like they dont know what they're actually selling...

Nice enough bike apart from the front discs having been painted over the bobbins
£6,000 reserve is a bit much.
Another one on e bay now for £6,495.
If it is the one I think it is, near perfect but lowers were repainted [scraped on trailer]

This has been on loads of times, I'm pretty sure it's never got bids over £4000 so I doubt it'll make £6000.

Whoever got that bike got a billy bargain I think, original wheel nut cover and yoke plug screams unmolested bike if you ask me. Just down the road from me but the bloke wouldn't let me go and have a look unless I won the auction.
Fresh plugs, battery, tyres and a good going over with the polish and you have got a 2 grand bike there. I even looked at getting a 1500 quid loan out to buy that but I just don't have the space.

Spose so, could be hiding alsorts though. Rings bells to me that the guy didn't want you to see it unless you'd won the auction.
But it does look very original.

Well I thought the same but Swindon can be a bit rough and I think he didn't want it to get nicked, not going to lie I really regret missing out on that one
