guy is no connection to me in any way, but we have been looking for an AT/TA and I dont like being fleeced as much as anyone, however rather than hang draw and quater i like to ask questions first..lol
People in here are a little more clued up than most on these bikes so I asked the question, at the end of the day the guy would have to be a moron to try and flog such a reconasiable bike with such a big discrepancy in its build and think nobody would notice! (err think of a bank robber in stripey jumper claiming to be ronnie biggs at the reception of New Scotland Yard here :shock:... not going to happen i think!)
My Cagiva when imported was checked out throughly by the DVLA before they issued new plates so I think the chances of it being a stolen bike is low, but as half the members in here can testify rebuilding into a new frame is not exactly rocket science, and with the limited number of RD03 frames kicking arround the RD04 subsitute makes sence?... but its also possible that it could desguise a stolen RD03 that is also to be considered for sure.
The bike looks to good to be true for its age, again pointers its been rebuilt at some stage?
As for Vin plate rivits, well anybody thats reprayed a frame will have removed the vin plate so that wouldnt worry me personally.
anybody know what the legal status of the bike actually is as its obviously not whats on the logbook?... if it is stolen how can the real identity be found, and if it can who is the legal owner?... there also has to implications on insurence, as its an RD04 650cc in effect which was never a production bike?
