admited to selling it do you have proof of that ? and as for the handling part what proof do you have that the engine you have is in fact the one they sent you ? what if they say wait thats not the engine I sold him he has swapped it for another one then would you not get done for handling stolen goods .
there are so many ways this could go and seems like its all- he said- she said- I said
my question is do you have proof of anything anyone said ? the police are going to ask all these things .

can you show us the pic in google images ? do you have a email from the seller is the tel number linked to any other adverts maybe one of us can find more info on the person or bike or anything else they are selling .

If you want my opinion - if they were really scammers they would have cut all contact all together. They just sound completely incompetent and possibly idiots.

£350 sounds a good price even for a spares / repairs dt so I would just make sure it doesn't happen again.

i do have recording of the last conversation :D i work as a spy these days. she said she would be willing to write and send me a reciept, so i will tell her to write one with these numbers on it

sebamax2 · Guru

well 350 you could get a running off road one as thats what this one is, bought another spares and repairs on on ebay for 180 quid and its mostly there dsnt start but has the numbers in tact. thats a spares and repairs, 350 could get you a good running dt without frame numbers

DTR 125 for sale no v5 or number plate but all numbers intact fully working would pass mot just needs papers £400

Maybe they have gone down then I haven't looked in a couple of years but then you would struggle to get running 'field' one for less than 500

MDK · DTR Legend

to be honest from that advert with pic and price I would kinda expect nothing else but a stolen or junk bike .

has it got those mags wheels on ? so whats the actual bike look like ? anything like the one in the pic ?

true I think if it looks anything like that pic above then he got a bargain field bike for £350 .

I see some real scrappers change hands all the time with numbers ground off go for £400-500 I mean look at this one alone

£185 only 3 miles down the road from me aparently the frame numbers in tact shouldnt be too hard to get it up and running

£102 for wrx wheels :D getting them delivered by the seller at 5am lool as he is going to the airport, plus he is throwing in a wrx headlight and a front fender for another 10 and might get the digital clocks off him for cheep aswell so its looking up to be a nice little project :)

the bike that i got looks nothing like the one from the picture, its not even the same bike

MDK · DTR Legend

so its not even got the 3 spoke mags on ?

sebamax2 · Guru

not even the mags or lights or anything. i cannot even see if the engine runs as there is no way of starting it. when the other one comes tomorrow i might just swap some parts for a second to see if it runs. the woman said she will post me a reciept with the engine numbers in there

This one is an 89 model Italian import, I asked for the frame number and checked it when it was on ebay.

sebamax2 · Guru

i checked it and it came up stolen

scrimsmustang · DTR Mechanic

I never checked with hpi etc, I just checked the model code with Yamaha as it wasnt the usual UK early 3MD. 89 Italian model glad I never won it then...........
