Looks like it's got almost 130K on the ticker. For me the issue would be the valves -- at 130k miles might be getting close to tolerance and in need of a top end.
I think this one could be had cheap if anyone were looking for a fixer or a parts bike. Personally, I think the days of making huge bank with K75 parts on eBay might be over.

looks pretty nice and original. Gas tank is an easy fix, if the splines are good it could be a great find for someone. Hope it doesn't go to some bozo with cafe visions and a hacksaw.

MH, not sure what picture you looked at but the pic I see of the speedo says 117996......
I also see an awful lot of surface rust, makes me think it spent a fair bit of time stored outside.......

Everybody cuts off the rear loop. I'm gonna do a real custom job and cut off the steering head. I'll bet none of them cappuccino racers done that yet.

Owning a Russian bike that sees plenty of roadsalt, we probably have different ideas on "an awful lot of surface rust" :eek:

I see 118k miles and at 130k miles valves are an issue for me in used k bikes because that's not something you can fix by popping on a used FD or DS. Buy the bike, pull off the cover and find the valves are shot and immediately you've got top end work or an engine replacement on your to do list. If you're looking for a serious rider, 117k miles is a lot to start with, is my point.
