Default YZF scam

First paragraph says he raced a Raptor and a Z400 and dusted them, then down at the description it says the quad has never been raced?LOL!!! Its a 2004, and he's never missed a valve adjustment? If he's done more than one, he must of really racked up some hours on that baby, seeing how they haven't been out too long!!! Also, if its sooooo awesome, then why's he selling it? Kinda fishy! Last but not least, it's in Portugal.....Hmmmm, how many people have already been scammed by out of country sellers? I'm sorry, but if anyone is dumb enough to fall for this guys crap, then they shouldn't be riding a YZF450, or any other quad, for our sake!!!

Boy if this is a scam then they are getting very trickey with the "no reserve and this is a slightly used quad" gimmick. I dont think they will ever stop now. It will be anything for sale soon.

LOL any person should be able to tell that these are both scams!!

1.raptor is being sold in the US and the yfz from portugal

2.if you look closely the houses in the two auctions are totally different houses...

3.in the raptor auction he said that he must sell it but if you look at the vehicle and the house in the yfz auction it doesnt look like he's in that desperate need of money

this guy is a total moron

Thanks for the heads up, Miguel. Whats really sad is that when honest people from other countries such as Portugal really want to sell something, people are not going to trust them, because of the piece of **** scammers!!!
