1990 K100- no K175- no K75 FS: $1000 Craigslist Houston

Hi all,

  Not my bike. Just saw it and thought that one of the Cafe conversion guys might want to use this instead of butcherin' a perfectly serviceable RS. :neener: :yes

I particularly like the keyless fuel cap.

I wouldn't buy that bike for $400.

Considering I bought my '85 for $950 running I agree - $400- sounds about right...

You guys kill me. :hehehe

Surprised no one noticed that the bike is a K75 and that the ignition switch is pulled out just hanging. :mbird :neener:

Called the dude on a lark. Claims bro is in da pen. That the title is in his bro's name and that he has a signed "blank" bill of sale from brother.
Also says that he lost the keys and that all locks and switches missing are from him trying to get bike started and ready for sale.(They must originally be from Louisiana). :yes

Also, seller is now insistant that instead of it being a K100 as originally listed, that the bike is a "K175 oops k75"(him not me).
He says that he is now sure because the tail section says it is a K75. :hehehe

After the conversation, not sure if I'd accept the bike even if it was free.
Then again,..."if" the bike really is his brothers and "if" the bill of sale is good ..... it might be worth the $400 some of you estimate.

Hope you are all enjoying the humor in this,

P.S.- At $1000, I still think it is a perfect candidate for the average

I was riding down a side street through a small town yesterday and I saw a K100 for sale. I stopped and took a ride on it. the owner wants $2700. It wobbled badly at slow speeds, the front shocks were toast. The paint was faded to a sickly orange, tires were bald, engine grimy, faring cracked and fixed with silicone,and he didn't even know what a spline was so how could he lube it. It rattled enough to qualify as a musical instrument.
I told him I thought his price was a little high and wished him luck. My K75s never felt so good.
