it looks like its a auto trader place.

looks like private people can set their cars, bikes, etc. up for sale on this site. I would imagine looking at the sale, and asking the person that is selling the bike and not the webmaster. I was looking at some of the sales, and there is a location of the bike right on there. Most of them had contact information right there on the sale. So I would say no, its not a scam.

it looks like a scam. i would stick to a reputable site like cycletrader.com or POSSIBLY craigslist.com but do not buy anything without going to meet the seller and see the bike. do not buy anything online and do not pay for anything using western union. trust me, i have been scammed before.

if you find a bike in your area, I would check it out. I NEVER purchase a bike till I have sat on it, started it up, and Deff see it in person. It doesnt matter what the site is, or mag its in. Cycle trader, cycle seller, cycle scammer.. you never purchase something without touching it... unless you know you dont have a choice.. There are sites like that. Amazon.com for example. But big money, big machines.. always buy local. I purchased my 929RR in Mich. I live in ohio, friend showed me a craigslist... I called the guy and 3 days later... Its sitting in my garage in pieces because I personally can not leave a bike alone... I have to do something with it.

trust your gut. get a Phone number, name, DNA signature if you can! lol if you send money, send it Postal M/O certified Check, or PAYPAL... Me personally, Im a COD kind of guy. you want to sell that bike bad enough, you'll take cash on delivery!

Never heard of it before. Get a seller to send you an email, then run a ip trace to see where it is coming from. I've done that a few times before, and both times the 'local' seller was sending email from out of the states.
