200+ mph motorcycle on eBay

Post by djalbin »

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-MOT ... dZViewItem

Seller claims:

"This motorcycle has an actual titanium steel frame and weighs 550 pounds!

This is a 200+ mph motorcycle and not designed for novice riders. Only manufactured the titanium series in 2003 and 2004. This is a Very rare and collectible bike"

Reality -

Nice looking bike ... but it's a Moto Guzzi with 74 HP, 70 ft/lbs torque, in a Metallic Titanium paint scheme.

Talk about exaggerating the truth !! :roll:

i'm still on the floor laughing at this, so if i mistype, you'll understand... :lol:

Q: As for the titanium frame and the 200 mph claims, where does that information come from? I've looked at several sources, and have found no such information in any specifications.

A: All european bikes are cabable of two hundred mph (Have you ever heard of the autobahn?). The frame is a detachable tubular duplex cradle in special high-strength steel, hence the 550 lbs the bike weighs. Thanks for the interest, Chris & Christena.

I noticed the clear photo of the speedo which only goes to 140mph.

I also liked the way it is supposed to keep up with an FZ1 on twisty
roads.
