Didn't he run the Bud lite graphics? Would be a good deal if it were indeed real but all the goodies (factory suspension and motor) wouldn't be on it. Basically you would just be bying the bike which he rode, only put back to original specs. And that just makes it a signed KTM... a bike he didn't really like to begin with.

If you’re a die-hard McGrath fan, you may know what parts he had on his bike, but I will list them all here:
WP Suspension (comes stock)
Custom Powdercoated Silver Frame (stock)
Aluminum Subframe (stock)
Magura Hydraulic Clutch (stock)

(Doesnt make much sense)
Motion Pro Clutch and Brake Cables
Front and Rear Disc Brakes by Braking

Sounds like a scam to me.

There used to be a race shop up my Red Bud that you could actually buy the pro's old bikes at, they had the suspension and everything, but it's gone now. It was called 911.

MXA.com actually posted the story on the bike. Could they have been scammed too??

They have since taken the story off their website.

That is not the same guy or the same bike. The first guy is in Ca and the new E-Bay listing is a guy in MA. Compare the pics (hope you didn't fire off that e-mail yet YP!

Bike Listed as "Jeremy's Bike"


Bike listed a s"replica"
