Fraudulent add for a Tiger on Ebay!

This guy is advertising a 99 yellow Tiger as an 01.  



Unless I am wrong:



1. Lightning Yellow was not offered on an 01

2. The oil cooler is not mounted on the side of the radiator on a 01

3. That engine looks like the sand cast 885 cc model not the die cast 01 and newer model.

4. 01 models had eyebrows on the headlight cowl.



Many people are bidding on this bike.  A lesson to watch what you buy.

Early 01's were the old 885 motor.  I think they still offered it in yellow.  I have a Green 01 955i Tiger,  but have gotten used to the idea that with 01 you have both 885's and 955's

+ it doesn't say 955i on the body panels....that is no 955i

This time I read the description and see they are describing it as a 955 though it is obviously a 885.  I emailed the guy to see what he has to say.  If the person is honest you should see a revised description or the bike removed and re-listed.

I emailed him and he insisted it was an 01 955.  I think that there were still 99 yellow tigers still readily available in 01 but the colors for 00 were blue and black and 01 was green and black.
