2005 FZS 1000 for sale - SOLD - ZiggyCol - 02-09-18
Having retired I am somewhat sadly selling my faithful thou which has been a daily ride in anticipation of a new bike to enjoy as a pleasure bike. Not quite sure what it's worth so gone the ebay route.
Despite the mileage it's been a great bike, is well specified and must still be a good bike for someone who knows how to continue to look after it.
Would be great to see it continue giving enjoyment to someone in this community.

Auction ends Sunday evening and has a realistic reserve.

Due to a time waster who won my ebay auction and then refused to pay without even seeing the bike, it will be going back on ebay this weekend. If anyone here wants to make me a sensible offer let me know and I'll happily consider. Bike is in Harrogate, any questions call me on 07710302905.

Bike has been listed again on ebay due to previous non paying time wasting winning bidder. You can view here.

Yet another ebay time waster won the auction so in the end sold to second bidder. Just delivered and he has reported he is a very happy man. A lot of bike for the money and if I say so myself a b****y good buy. But hey ho that's ebay for you. After this experience with 2 failed top bidder auctions I'm not sure I would go this route again but one lives and learns. There just seems to be too many inconsiderate/non genuine bidders about. I use ebay myself as a buyer but I would never consider bidding unless I was in the position to genuinely buy. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case with many bidders and as a seller you can easily end up with listing fees and no sale. I take consolation in that it was a bike that served me well and the eventual buyer seemed a decent guy so its gone to a good home.

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..

The unfortunate thing is that the most ebay can do to crap buyers is allow negative feedback or close an account, and they don't seem very ready to do that. Even then that's no real deterrent to the occasional buyer as they can just open another account. In fact I bet some people have different ebay accounts for buying and selling so they can bugger about as a buyer without impacting their selling feedback. With hindsight one thing I would do in future, if I chose to sell something significant again, is only allow buyers with decent feedback records. Both buyers who dipped out on me had zero feedback history. Hindsight is a great thing!
