Hi there,
The bike is located in San Diego,CA.
First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my bike. I am selling it at this price ($2200) because I just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce has finished 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 $2200 US including shipping and handling.
If you are interested please let me know.

So are you near Columbus, GA? I might be moving back there in a couple months. Lived there for 14 years.

Huntsville, AL is much better though, so probably will end up staying around here

There's always scams everywhere that it's possible to scam people. Someone kept putting up listings selling boa

If you are serious I suggest you never buy anything online, because you will loose lots of money.

I was sent the same reply for a 2004 vw jetta tdi sport edition for 4800 bucks. Divorce, woman who doesn't drive and doesn't need it.

Scam scam scam.

" now as a woman I dont need it " because women can't ride bikes.... Sounds like someone from the middle east... Scam.
