MOTORCYCLE SCAM!!!!

Further to the Hayabusa Scam, there is a guy, possibly the same guy, trying to sell Honda CBR1000rr's for real cheap.  The pictures look genuine, like he took them in his driveway but the VIN is not included in the auction and he won't send it via email.  When asked for more info about the bike he'll tell you that it's overseas, in Germany or Belgium, and tell you that he'll cover the shipping and insurance from there.  The reason he says the bike is overseas is so you the buyer will not qualify for eBay buyer protection and as soon as you send him a message through eBay expressing interest in the bike, the auction mysteriously disappears.  He says that he wants to sell it through a third party for everyone's protection, yet he ends the auction so that it can't go through eBay.  I've seen the same scam on 2 seperate occasions with Repsol CBR's too, which is way too good to be true.  I guess the bottom line is that if it looks too good to be true, it usually is.  I hope everyone finds this helpful.
