Selling my bike - possible scam attempt?

I was sent this via Gumtree for my Honda Varadero that I have for sale, which I am selling to buy an SV. Does this sound to good to be true?

Thanks for your picture's that is fear enough and also for your swift response. I am highly interested in buying the Bike from you and also ready to make the payment as soon as possible all depends on you. We reside in 81 Lawrsen House,Woolwich Common SE18 4HD,London but will be traveling to Romania on a business trip.I will instruct my partner to issue a certified cheque for your payment and as soon as the cheque clears into your account.
I will arrange the pick up of the Bike and get all the necessary documents from you if any. So that the Bike can be send to my Son for his birthday gift,

Kindly furnish me as soon as possible with the details below;
Full Name:
Postal Address:
Post Code:
Cell Phone:
Total Cost:
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated with all the information require in other for my partner to send the payment out to your address without any further delay.

I look forward to your urgent response.

Best Regards,

Scam, dont touch it with a barge pole.

Oh, it's fake..

You got 419'd.

Walk away from all transactions that suggest using a cheque and sending it away. Note laughable grammar and spelling, and the strange amount of times they use "urgent response" and a "partner".

Screw giving address AND phone number to anyone. :p (that you don't know)

got to admit looks dodgy, as you must have thought otherwise would not have posted, and who goes to romania on business, sorry to to 2 million romanians i have just offended.

i had loads of these scams when I sold my honda cbf600... nobs

deffo scam
i have had this also

No way Hose'!!! Don't touch with a barge pole![-(

could be so tempting to get involved with them and end up selling them a toy model of a Varadero etc.

Re: Selling my bike - possible scam attempt?

Pass it on to the police

Then kindly send a response back saying that you have sent this onto authorities. Hopefully that'll put the buggers off with fear of the Fuzz kicking down their door and arresting them :smt072
