a friend of mine totalled his daytona - and i mean totalled it

maybe the tank was ok - but EVERY other panel was a mess.

there was a big hole in the exhaust. the rear seat/pod would not fit on as the rear sub frame was so twisted and the front forks may have gone down - but did not rise up again.. oh - and the bottom of one fork was a little ground down - so ground down you could not release the front wheel..... and the clock mount off the head stock was sheered off etc = ie a right bloody mess.....

the insurance company write the bike off - no shit!

three weeks later you see the bike on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %26otn%3D2

you know that the description listed is a lie

in fact it is more than a lie, it is a dangerous lie - anyone stupid enough to ride that is putting their life on the line.....

so - what would you do?

Your descriptions only seem to vary regarding the 'forks seeming to be ok'?
Damaged repairable project sounds fair enough.
With the standard 'buyer beware' I don't see the problem.

Not to doubt you, but are you sure its the same bike? Your description and the picture dont quite match

Yup, I'd have to agree with Sylitz on this, the rear sea pod seems fine as does most of the rear bodywork. The exhaust isn't too bad either. I reckon it's probably a different bike or it's had some work done before being offered up on auction

ok - i felt that the laws of probability were to close - the front damage is a mirror copy of what i have on my phone - and is why i am so certain

bet we see it listed again with in a month
