hey i got a message from the seller after asking where the bike was and where he was based here is his reply
Hello and thank you for your interest,
I had to pause the listing on ebay because I've almost reached an agreement with a local potential buyer. Unfortunately, it looks like there are some problems and he doesn't have all the money to pay, for the moment. Therefore, if you are willing to pay the buy-it-now price ?2600, I'm ready to start this transaction with you.
First of all you should know that this 2005 HONDA CBR 1100 BLACKBIRD has a clear title, it has never been dropped or crashed and it is in immaculate condition, mechanically and aesthetically intact, no damages, no hidden defects, ready for ride, it has 2316 miles on board.
I'm located in Netherlands for the moment. I spend a lot of the time in UK with business but I have my family here in Holland. I took the bike with me here a few weeks ago, but never had time to ride it. I'm willing to ship the Blackbird from here through KLM Air Cargo and cover the shipping and insurance fees to your location. The total price is ?2,600 shipping included. The price is low because I had a great discount on this bike, and I thought selling this Honda through Ebay would be a good idea, giving the fact that I need some fast cash for a business venture we are going to try.
I would like our deal to be supervised by eBay and SafeHarbor Team. In case we have a deal I will notify eBay transactions department so they can inform you about my reliability and how we can proceed with this transaction in a 100% safe way.
Please let me know your position as soon as possible,
Mike
