Seems to me all you have to do is say you are interested in the bike and you want to see it in person, you will have cash in hand and ready to take it away if everything looks good. The response to that should show if there is anything funny about the deal.

I contacted them by Email and this is the answer I got. You guys can judge for yourselves but it is not something I will be pursuing further.
Thank you for your interest in our website. We sell this bike on behalf of one of our customers for a selling fee. Because of that we can't allow the buyer and the seller to meet. However, the bike was inspected and runs great and you will also have 15 days to properly test it. If you want to return it the seller will pay the shipping back and he has 24 hours to return your money.

It looks like you can only test it after you buy it.

Sounds like a load of crock to me, what does coming to see it in person have to do with meeting the seller?
My brother bought a snowmobile at a dealer that sold them on consignment. Once he decided to buy, the owner was called and my brother the dealer and the owner sat down to do the paper work.

They are scamming people, they don't want you to see the bike, they want to ship after a bank transfer, and they have no history on E-Bay.

The add was pulled by the seller, because the item is no longer available. But it is still posted with a $500.00 dollar bid.
Someone should notify e-bay of their weird business practices. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kawas...item27c5a89d5b

I once found a legit. looking "for sale" posting on eBay for a Screaming Eagle Harley. Beautiful bike.!! Really, it looked too good to be true. I wrote the guy and said I was interested but in order for me to get a loan from the bank the bank needed/wtd. the V.I.N. number. He sent it ! I ran the VIN number using Google and it took me to an eBay ad with the same pictures of the bike, {diff. seller though} There was a contact number on the ad where you could call the seller for more info. I called and was told that the bike had been sold a month or so ago, to a guy he knew locally. I asked if he knew if it was for sale. He said "no way!" he sees the guy riding it every day and speaks to him every Sunday at church.
I left it at that point and didn't go back to the scam seller. I did get hold of eBay though and told them what I had found out.eBay said they would follow it up, but never contacted me again so I can only think the ad was pulled. So buyer be ware!!

TC were you really interested in it or just trying to see if it was legit?

Hopefully nobody fell for it, something just didn't seem right with that ad.
