This one is remarkable if true, though not sure if it wasn't posted on 1st April

ad sez zero miles and odo shows 3 1/2 miles  :yow


Can't see it going for the asking price, K's just are not collector items like some R's.

I saw that one the other day. I'd be shocked if they even came close to getting their asking price.

Well if you love old K bikes but always wished you could get a new one it's cheaper than a new K1300S or K1600GT/L

It will a fair bit of parts.  Old rubber is old rubber no matter how low the miles.

Still very amazing it exists

It could also be a very well preserved bike and not a part bike.

I have a 79 Yamaha XS1100 that I bought with 318 miles on it. Everything on the bike is in excellent condition. Nothing seized or rusty. All nuts and bolts feel like they were just put on last week. I did replace the tires because they were hard, but the inner tubes were still soft and pliable (yes replaced those too). I runs like new.
