I was the one who posted it. It looks bogus for sure, but I can't say that for certain. How could they sell a 26K bike for under 9? I thought for sure somebody would have come across it before.

If it's legit put me down for a silver GTL with all the options!

Nice a 2012 BMW F650GS for $3,850 with $5.00 shipping to Canada.

I want one.

Software on my computer indicates the website originates in the Russian Federation. Alarm bells all round.

It's an add-on for Firefox browser. (I have been a confirmed Firefox/Mozilla user forever).

It is called Flagfox 4.1.13. It displays a tiny national flag icon of the web page's country of origin in the address bar. There is a drop-down list that displays the site's domain name, IP address and name of the host country as well.

+1 I've got a few add-ons, but I missed that one. Thanks, it works very well.

Thanks bikebits! That is a great add-on!

Only because I want to see everyone make a profit, if you buy one - a full-size BMW GTL with a legal, registerable title from this company - for the advertised under $9K price, I will pay $11K to buy it from you - making you a profit of over $2K for your time and effort.

Let me know when you have the bike in hand and I will hop on a plane to fly and pick it up after transferring the title to my name and paying you.

Someone needs to jump on this great deal. I have no problem letting you profit from me... :histerica

You'll get the SECOND one I buy! Stand by and I'll let you know. Should be a nice cross country ride back home.

And payment via Western Union as well, I see....

Don't be one of those referenced by P. T. Barnum.

Just installed the Flagfox add on.

Thanks for the tip!

WOW! A 2012 K1300GT for $6k!...... Except, there is a big problem. The K1300GT was discontinued after 2010.
Hopefully nobody gets taken by this scam; or others like it. The site appears to be a legit website; I probably would have bitten if I was looking for another cycle. I wonder how many other sites there are like this..... Scary.

Thanks for the insight! It does look real.

I noticed the McAfee Secure logo at the bottom of the home page; it says "tested secure Oct 16". They copied it and the other logos from other sites and pasted to theirs.

That and the fact that they are selling bikes for a third of the MSRP, of course.

GRB60, you get the Eagle Eyes award!

In checking out the McAfee Secure web site they say:

This was a real eye opener.

Well I just tried to buy one - well not really, but I was rather curious as to what credit card payment provider they were using, but I couldn't get past the delivery address screen.

You can report obvious scams like this to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at this URL. And It IS legit... I know know some of the guys working there...
