It looks pretty suspect to me... Good price and not a Japanese copy!?

I thought so too! And if it's easy to register why hasn't he done it? That would certainly make it more saleable. I also note he doesn't say what model it is either!

Be fair lads. This seller has been on Ebay for the last 18 months and has 100% positive feedback on 68 different deals. I think you might be pulling the trigger a bit early here..
Why not ring the guy up and ask a few questions..?

Exile, I looked at his feedback before commenting. I still think the ad is rather odd, it could be just because he's never had anything to do with bikes but even so, only one picture and such a thin description seems strange. Could be on behalf of someone, who knows?

Not a very descriptive add,but it looks genuine to me.His car no plate is on show and at £2500 starting bid on a Indian bought enfield he`s probably breaking even.

Whats more suspect is the way he`s strapped the bike to the trailer.If the rear strap over the tank slips its bye bye bike.

There are lots of pitfalls with an imported bike, I would want a V5 registration document to ensure all is well and that VAT/duty has been paid. Lots of information on gov.uk website for those brave enough.

"Not a Japanese Copy" ------ What a shame it would be a much better bike if it was a Japanese copy.
OK OK I'm going.
