2001 Kawasaki ZRX1200R

[Frank Z.]

Here's a legit ZRX 1200 in Texas: https://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/d/...319287875.html . Proper mods and low mileage. Gonna get one myself...

Yes, some kind of a scam going on here. The lady emailed me saying she's not in town. She said she would prefer to do the transaction through e-bay? They would deliver the motorcycle for me to check out. If I liked it then I'm supposed to call eBay to release the money. ??? I don't know what kind of scam it is, but it's not right.

After looking at this motorcycle and doing a little research, I could definitely see myself riding a motorcycle like this. Seems like a modern day standard. A little more stylish than the Bandit, in my opinion.

The one in Abilene Texas looks very nice and a reasonable price.

Gosh you guys are way too gullible. I knew that was a scam the very second I read the ad.

I kind of thought so too. But what is the scam? How is someone like this getting money? Maybe I just didn't swallow the hook enough to see...

"Through Ebay and delivered for inspection for free"...doubtful. I can see a makeshift listing and the bike being delivered...then a call for non payment via the seller and you'd have to pay return shipping and the posted auction price {which might not be as previously advertised}...smells really fishy...really. Where's it located in Indiana? ...one of the members here should be able to inspect it who's close - if it's for real.

Wonder if that Ebay phone number would really be to Ebay too...no one calls Ebay....payment is either through paypal or via Mo/check or pre arranged funding.
Run if requested payment is thru western union....

You could ask for the VIN number and a pic to verify, then have your local PD run it...but that's assuming it's correct.

I have. I actually got scammed for trying to buy a new Givi top case... Ebay helped with the finest India based support

They actually are really good with scammers. I haven't been the only one to get scammed on Ebay and in the end Ebay reimbursed and rectified the situation.

Why i buy most things off of it...

"Customer support"...yeah, been there once too...pleasant, but ugh, hard to understand the guy...and funny thing is he probably thought the same about me.
What I was actually saying was the "calling Ebay to pay" thing seemed dead wrong.
Calling Ebay about any problems if the seller won't do anything...yeah, that's normal.

Yep, it's a scammy scammer scamming a scam.

For some reason, my wife simply cannot detect these scams, so she's always emailing me cars she likes from crackList when she gets bored. When I immediately point out it's a scam, somehow I'm the bad guy...

Anyhoo, if you can find a Z-Rex that hasn't been beat to hell and that actually exists, they're great bikes. Abuse is rampant, though.

And I think you'd greatly enjoy a Bandit 1250 -- out of all the modern bikes I've sampled, it's the one that somehow feels the closest to a GS850 with 25 more years of refinement. Chain drive, unfortunately, but you can't have everything.

The one time my wife wanted an old car she shows me a Mustang...yeah, a numbers matching 1969 Shelby GT R code motor...at least it wasn't a convertible. {wasn't gonna happen either way....}
