I am lucky guy who bought the bike. I have had a few oilhead R bikes in the past (and just sold my Guzzi 1200 sport ) but this is my first K. I really couldn't believe I won the auction for $2500. I am driving from Minneapolis to pick it up next weekend.
After winning the auction I was surfing around doing some research and ran across this site and was surprised to see a thread about my new bike!
Hello mabs,

to Motobrick and congratulations on your new (to you) ride. :2thumbup:
Can't tell you how tempted I was to throw out a bid of $3k, but I need to spend money on a larger home (...garage :yes) so that I can take better care of what I already own. Also, getting spare parts out of the S.O.'s way will make for enhanced domestic bliss. :yes
Still, something in my Texas upbringing has me twitching over the fact that I let a K1 go for a $100 less than I bought my K100rs 4v. :bang-head: :giggles
From your post, it sounds like the K1 is going to someone that will care for her proper like. Your list of previous bikes kinda hints at such. Hope she gives you many trouble free miles of riding and maybe I'll see you down the road.
Later,
