Default Just missed out by minutes

Grrrrrrrr... Came across the bargain of the year. I was thinking of upgrading from my sv to a R6. I had a r6 for a few months and feel in love with it, but cash was a issue so i got the sv.

\Love the sv but am ready to upgrade now, came across a add in gumtree and i thought it was too good to be true. It was a 2006 r6 new shape on a 2007 plate only 4750 milage in great shape new damage at. Rang the guy and he told me he had over 200 calls which i thought would happen. I thought i would have a hope in hell as he said first to him with £3000 takes it away.

I somehow got the cash together did a hpi on the bike then me and mates went out in case it was a scam and was maybe 30 seconds away when he called to say it had just sold.......

I was a bit upset as you can imagine, I did see the bike and it was in perfect condition... grrrrrrrr was a bit ****ed off but hey what can do!!!

Yeah, it must be, surely?
I mean, even if you needed to get rid within 48hours you could ask for plenty more and still be fending people off with a shovel.
