oh, any bike any year.
let me guess, you'll send me a check for $3000 over the bike if I could just send you the 3k now in advance?
Oh wait, do you have an uncle who is an oil millionaire and needs someone on US soil to open an account for him?

Al, I've had many offers for my ZX-9R that were scams and I'm pretty sure this guy's English is too good for him to be a scammer.
Here's a few examples of the messages I received for my ZX-9:

And SURELY somebody wouldn't be stupid enough to come onto a forum with so many members that know about this type of scam and try to scam somebody...would they?
All you have to do is ask a scammer to either use PayPal or Western Union to get the funds to you and they usually run away with their tail between their legs.
