I know it says it in the description but why does the BIN say $22. At any rate to include shipping from Greece for $2000 doesn't seem like a bad price if you ask me. The trike looks clean and original.

Nice shape and for $2000 shipped is not a bad price. Too bad it looks like a SCAM. How come the trike is in Greece but the seller is listed as in Australia? :evil:

just a gues but they probably listed it like that to dodge paying huge ebay fees when the auction closes. they prbably expect you to contact them privately, take your money, and you get no trike

Guy from Austrailia selling a 2000 350X that is in Greece, and bidding is in US currency. Sounds legit to me! Payments terms- "Other" Anybody wanna bet other = Western Union or other wire service?

Oh a speedometer is not that rare. I got one and also a couple tachometers. They were Hondaline assessories. Now I agree on the keys. An 87 200X has a key, but never 350X's unless it's modified. I'd just assume this is a SCAM!

THis is a scam. I have been watching this guy for about 6months now. He has been selling mainly streetbikes and a few ATVs for insane prices. He had a $15,000 yamaha streetbike on there the other day for $2000. For the longest he was changing his userID like crazy. Scam

I think he got that picture of that 350X off www.3wheeler.org readers rigs. That rool-up garage door with the man-made flag stone looks like something here in the United States. I think the houses in Greece are hill-side adobe dwellings with car ports. No roll-up doors with fake flag stone.

He does have mult pics of it so maybe its not a readers rig but its still a scam.

Interesting, he has a "title". I wonder what kind of title does a guy in Autralia get for a vehicle in Greece. You should ask him to scan the title and email it to you.

Yeah, the reason I say its a scam is this. A guy at my office bought a HOnda Recon off a guy with a similar story and locations. Everything was the same set up as this. Well It started to stink pretty quick. THe guy sent him a link to some cargo shipping company that had been hyjacket ( the link ) and man to say what he wanted it to say. He notified Ebay and low and behold SCOTTLAND YARD called him at the office. They had been trying to catch these scam artist for quite some time. They told him that multiple people were doing this. They want to sell in the US. The bike is in Greece, Italy, Spain, and they are in another country. By doing this they are getting around and hiding from the law. Too hard to track. Its a scam. Trus me. :eek they said quite a few people had loss their butt.
