They need to replace the brake pads and it only has 1,500 miles?
It's clean and shiny except where it's. . . rusty?
(look at the left side, rusty fasteners, muffler cover, etc.)
The crankcase cover looks tarnished or corroded?
How are seals, hoses bearings? With so little use, I'm not optimistic!
It polishes up well, but what are you actually getting? Was it parked for 35 years in a musty and damp barn?

It's probably a good source for parts.

I've brought Ks back to life that have sat outside in Seattle rain for ten years. Just replace all of the rubber bits and swap in some reconditioned fuel injectors.

(But I didn't pay $4K for them.)

This bike was really trashed and pathetic when I bought it. Now it's one of my favorite K75s that looks, runs and rides very well.

frankenduck: those city cases are perfect on the s model! I keep my eyes open for them all the time but most sellers want a premium (as would I).

They should try BAT. :laughing4-giggles:
