    I was moaning a few weeks ago about my bikes previous owner and the lies he told. I checked his feedback and he has bought and sold several bikes, each sale is forced by some special reason "Failed my test", "Girlfriend pregnant", "Moved to a high crime area" and the latest "Bought a bigger bike".
    Well, anyway, I think the big man upstairs has been watching and hasn't liked what this guy has been up to because recently he bought a clean looking FZ600 and now, 8 weeks later is selling it. Spot the difference.

    For those of you that can't be bothered, the bike he bought was pretty clean and the bike he sold isn't so good!

    Yes, £380 (Pounds, not euros!) is about $600 - did you look at the second picture? Not so clean now!

    There are actually quite a few bikes to be had around the £400 ($600) mark but you have to be really careful as there are a lot of people who buy bikes, realise they are too expensive to repair or the new owner hasn't go the technical knowledge to get the fixed, so they just get sold on. That's what this guy does - he actually owned my bike for 4 weeks but told me he'd owned it "A while"

    The question is does he make any money off of them, or does he get what paid?
