Below is the e-mail "conversation" going on between me and A.N. Other. This little episode has been gathering speed since I last posted the VFR up for sale on Gumtree last week:-

Hi Kimberly
I have been asked to e-mail you to let you know if my VFR750 is still for sale - it is.
The lowest price I will go down to is £1800 - the bike is really in great condition and that is what I think it is worth.
Hope to hear from you soon.

I am wondering if you are the original first owner and I hope it is in good condition, if there wont be any cause of disappointment if i purchase it from you? I'm buying it for my husband as a surprise he doesn't know about it and i believe he will really enjoy it. I don't want him to know about it until it delivered, but there are few thing i would like to know about it as well :
1.Could you send me some more pictures if possible.
2.Do you have a verified PayPal account ?

I am NOT the first owner - I am the 4th owner.
It is in great condition
All the pictures I have are on the advert for the bike on Gumtree
I do not have a paypal account - cash is king via a face to face transaction

If you don't have PayPal account yet, it's pretty
easy, safe and secure to open one, Just log on to
www.paypal.co.uk and I will be responsible for the PayPal
charges fee, when you are done with the registration send me
the email used for the registration, so
i can transfer the fund, this can't take you less than
3 minute to do that.
