Be very careful buying a bike from overseas. There are many people scamming bike buyers and they pretend the bike is overseas and say they will ship it UPS. Also the bike is priced pretty lowbecause of some good sounding reason (wife is making him get rid of it). They setup a fake escrow site that makes the buyer feel better about sending the money to them. Depending on the bike you may have trouble trying to register it in the states.
If he says he will go thru an escrow site try asking if he will use (insert name of other escrow site here) instead of the one he suggested.
