Water-cooled xt 600!!!!

There is an interesting situation developing on fleaBay right now, so much that I have placed it in my research. This is not an add, purely an advisory! and should it be a genuine mistake, otherwise!

I'm confused !!

Are you looking to buy this or are you the one selling it ???


There is a rad and fan there but is it plumbed in ???

I'd personally be terrified to buy that bike off Ebay for anything more than it's value as "spares"..

The guy who's selling it bought it in March this year, he was conned... I've told him to take it up with ebay & maybe he will get his money back, he bought it as a 3AJ, which it obviously isn't.....

Spot on G30ff,

paperwork and engine just don't add up. Its these little numbers I enter into my reserch box, just to keep an eye on what is where and when. I have now had two of these taken from me.

Just thought we here should share this kind of info as it comes along.

Maybe even create a section for us all to report (stolen/suspect xt's) here?

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
