it does seem just as difficult to sell a straight bike as it is to buy one. If your in either position its best just to advertise on a forum and wait ithink, that's how I got mine. as for selling, I just wont hopefully, gen ones aren't worth a lot cash wise (in respect of how good a bike we know they are) id rather sit on it for the grandkids lol.
ebay sucks mate, I feel your pain. I sold a gen two hayabusa on there, buyer didn't even turn up just messaged me telling me hed done it on a whim and didn't really want it, contacted ebay and all they did was take away my option to give him bad feedback!! no wonder the twats keep doing it..
