Looking at one tomorrow...I bought it!
« on: January 05, 2013, 09:45:21 PM »
Ben kicking myself for missing a pretty good deal on one that was apart for rebuild w/powder-coated frame/swingarm this summer, but am going to look at an '85 K100RS tomorrow.

Kinda getting pumped.

Currently have cleaned-up a '74 RD350 to basically stock condition and doing a frame-up on a '75 RD350 (my 1st street bike - I bought one brand new and quit riding after a Town Car ran a red light) that will have a modified RD400 engine in it. 

Since I now have no kids at home/college and no contact lenses (cataract surgery) I want to get out on a bike w/the better half.

Hoping it is actually as good as the pics.

One day I WILL have a "K".

Don't give up if the one tomorrow does not work out. You will find the perfect K bike with a little time.

Here is a good one, at a great price, winter price only, but hey we ride almost all year long in Willamette Valley.  LT would be just right for 2??

Of course I have not looked at it, so it may or may not be correct for you, but worth looking at  for that price
