If you seriously want to buy it, and he has a reserve that is more than a bike of that year is worth(in present condition), just ask him for a signed affadavit that the bike was purchased from whoever and that it is gauranteed to be a factory Honda bike. If you get no response, just piss it off. I sell lots of stuff on E-bay, it's a very good place to get rid of things you don't want anymore or mistakes someone else can make. I post everything there in it's actual condition for what it is. A few weeks ago I sold my Acerbis "orange crush" plastic for my 426 there. I said it's like new, 2 rides, boot rubs, refelective tape like factory(which I put on) and it sells for $5.50 less than brand new and I charge shipping, which Acerbis didn' :) t when I bought it. It's probably just some yahoo trying to pass something off for something it is not. But if he'll give you it in a written contract, he's liable. He has to prove it came from where he says it did. Sounds like a legal peeing match in the making to me.
