I've reported it to Ebay so if anyone is selling their bike in Luxembourg, very sorry!

That's incredible:

0 previous owners but it's done 1200km?
138 bhp on the S4R - that's 8 more than the S4RS. Incredible engine work but hang on, they may have squeezed that extra few hp because they have engineered in a shaft drive system!!

Right, I'm having this one so none of you lot bid on this. If only Mr Ukumbo from the United Bank of Nigeria would send me through those funds that I am helping him to clear. This is gonna be a good year, I can feel it....

All excited now

I cannot believe he's got two bids already!!

It may have zero previous owners but maybe they did the 1200km's them selves.

It states previously registered overseas,maybe the pic is from when they bought it in Glasgow and moved away?

Not everyone on Ebay is a scammer(Yeh ok maybe they are....)

The Luxembourg plate and portes de service sticker on a Ducati Glasgow van might be a bit of a give away that summits not quite right ;)

In all seriousness, if you really wanted to sell your S4R (£8200 rrp), you would at least take the 30 minutes to take pictures and make sure the details you posted were correct. If he isn't a scammer then he should make the effort to instill confidence in potential buyers. Ducati owners are renowned for their anal attention to detail and if the guy doesn't even know it's driven by a chain rather than a shaft, it's more than likely he hasn't lubed the chain lately?

It's more than likely that the bike would be going overseas and highly unlikely that he's going to find a buyer in Luxembourg, I mean for fecks sake, there's only 12 people in the whole country.

If you're going to try to scam people, then at least make the effort.

C-, must try harder. And you at the back wake up...

If you look at the large pic, you can see that it's an Isle of Man number plate, and it says Parts & Service. Nice conspiracy theory though!

Still, have to agree that it all looks a bit dodgy, and the guy just happens to have found that picture on the web...

Bit cheeky!

Is it my imagination or does the first picture have Termignoni's? If so, whats the other one got? Definitely a different picture to the first!

Pictures are of two different bikes, one with crash bungs and carbon heelguards, rad guards and heatshields on view, photographed behind the glasgow shop, the other is standard and looks to photographed in a different location if not actually a stock photo from another site somewhere.
