I found an eBay auction for a pristine 'Busa selling for about $3,200 by a guy who said he moved to Italy. I sent him an e-mail, mostly because I was skeptical about a Hayabusa at a low-low sticker price. He sent me this e-mail:
<span style='font-family:times'>Hello thank you for your interest in my Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R GSX-R 1300.
This is a relisting due to a non paying buyer, this is why i wanted to share the terms of sale with you before you could make a decision.
It's powered by a Heavy (700 cc and up) engine in great runing condition. This bike looks perfectly and runs acordingly. You will find no scratches, cracked plastics or bent metals on this bike.
Barely ridden, adult kept in garage, waxed and washed after each ride. The chain has been tightened, in rest the bike is 100% stock.
Will be delivered with it's rear seat cover and a brand new AVGSPORT jacket, and original paperwork. Clear title, extended warranty with Suzuki until 09-2006.
I recently moved in Italy with my wife, the bike is here with me. I wanted to register it here, but they would make me pay some huge taxes that i wasn't aware of, and i'll better sell it and buy a new one here. My loss is your gain.
I will handle the shipping for a small fee (under $600US, depending on your exact location) with Lufthansa Cargo Air insured. All documents, including the clear title and warranty plus bill of sale will be sent along with the bike. If you want to use another shipping carrier, please suggest it.
Payment will be handled with Western Union wire transfer, it's the fastest and the best way to receive payments.
to be shore that you will get the bike i have a plan
you can make the transfer at western with my adress but insted of my name as a receiver you can replaceit with another name ( your father's name your best friend's name etc) so in this way i can check the transfer,after i check the transfer i will sent you the bike and after you will receive it you will change the recdeiver's name into my name.
I will not agree on using COD, Escrow or other electronic payment services (PayPal), transactions mediated by these companies can take up to a month.
To make the Western Union wire transfer you will need to find a Western Union agent. You will need my name and address (name, city, country) to make the transfer.
This is what i need for checking the transfer :
your entire name and adress for shipping
the sender's name and adress
the receiver's name
the MTCN ( control number)
and the exact amount sent.
My adress:
Name
avid Leonard
Address: 118 Via Maria
City: Laceno
Country: Italy
My asking price, $3250.
If you are interested in purchasing this bike following the up mentioned terms, the transaction can be done verry easy.
Let me know your decision.
