It certainly looks that way. Maybe the 2 and the 8 are mixed up.

I guarantee if You email that person, you will get a reply like “hi the bike is in (insert random overseas place here) and I’m willing to ship it to you upon payment”

These scammers love the price $2800 for some reason.

Yea, that’s either a scam or a typo. On an unrelated note… Eww… CBR125? I’m all for starting on low displacement, but at least start with a bike, not a bicycle 😛

I don’t know, I rode an Aprilia 125cc two-stroke GP style bike a couple of years ago and that was quite a hand full. They can get really fun.

LOL, two stroke is a completely different animal, I’m sure it made at least double the power the CBR125 makes, and was probably lighter too.

The reply I just recieved

Hi there,

First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my bike. I am selling it at this price ($2800) because I just finished the divorce with my husband. Now the divorce is final and i own this bike. Now as a woman i don’t need it. This bike is in excellent working condition, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title, 3 months transferable warranty.  
From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request only secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services.  
We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account for $20,000. The final price that I want for this bike is $2800 including shipping and handling.  
If you are interested please let me know.

Should you find that the bike is not as I’ve described it, you can return it to me on my expense. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Let me know if you are still interested.

Carol
