Just having some fun with another EBAY SCAMMER
Typical ebay scammer from another country emails me after I placed a bid for a ZX12R last week. You know the type, the kind that has one just like it for half the price but wants money wired to a foreign country up front. What a joke! So I'm playing with him just for fun..

Hi,
Here is the #VIN: JKAZX9B133A008843
Please get back to me fast.
Regards!

OK so I promptly goto www.buykawasaki.com and enter in the VIN # which allows you to search Kawasaki records for recall information and warranty status. Here are the results! The VIN # is for a 2003 model bike!!
Warranty Status 2003 - NINJA ZX-12R
Vin: JKAZX9B133A008843
Your warranty expires on 04/30/2004.

The foreign guy said he noticed Bergie was interested in the 2000 model. He then said that he has a new one for sale. I think by "new" he means an '03. Anyway, you're all too late. I already sent him cash for it. Now to just sit here patiently...............
