Lets just say I would take a dozen if it is legit

Might be, but I am always worried when someone misplaces the key and is not going to the dealership to get a new one made

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

This ad smell like a SCAM, Red key is one of 3 keys that need to have if you ever need your Duc services (ECU map after installed exhaust system or tuned by dealer, Duc has a lot of spagetti wires electronic controls) and you donot want to insert that RED key ever into ignition bcause it reset all setting programs previous and others keys will not start the bike anymore+cost to remake RED key around 1K due to reprograming. But anyway 999S for an 06 still costs 12k to 17k depend on the conditions (Ohlins suspension completed, full Termi system, carbon fiber parts more hps than standard 999 and weight 10lbs lighter too...) Seller could part fairing and exhaust for that price that he ask for...

A 999 for $3500? My ***. Key got lost coming home from dealer? How does that happen? Any of you guys ever lose a key while riding your bike?

I'll bet his dog ate the title. And the reg. And he'll meet you behind the 7/11 at 4am. Cash only.

Craigslist gets those post all the time.... when you email (I did once, I had to try!!!) I got the usual "I've just moved over seas and the bike is now in (Fill in country) and if you send me the cash I'll ship it to you" crap...

I don't even bother looking anymore. You'd be better off with EBAY auctions that don't have a pic... atleast you can complain to them or Paypal when you get screwed.

French is a Romance language; looks like LATIN to me. Too bad I never took latin ...

Lorem ipsum (aka lipsum) is dummy text and is often used by web designers when creating prototypes. If readable content is entered on a page, clients can get distracted when looking at the layout.
