    actually, the first picture gave it away. the paint job was the culprit. in the second 0 of the "800", the paint should be half red, half orange, unlike the fully orange in counterfeit 800s.

    That must be a very good fake i must say. The sunrise sticker and the cone plastic is so real.

    nah, there are much better fakes out there. the PBSI sticker error is way too obvious.
