Seller says 11/69 build date.

$9000 CDN = $6750 US

You'd think he would add a lot more pics to validate the bike.

13,*** that what we needed to know.
Now you need to kniw if it has original cases, topend and if it had chain damage.
Pipes should be 300,s, how good or rotten..

Likely registered as 70, but it isa made in 69 bike..

Are you really considering this bike @9k?

I mean I don't even see a mileage listed.  If a seller doesn't even list the mileage then I don't even take them seriously.  And what the hell does a "numbers correct" bike even mean?  The numbers never match, is he saying he knows that x arbitrary number was correct for x arbitrary number?

An 11/69 might even be technically a 1970 bike not just by the title, but on the vin itself. 

I think you should really think about this if you're considering it at near 9k.

It is 20 mins from me, but I don't think it's legit. And member Prospect already being a sandcast owner, he just confirmed essentially what I already suspected.

On top of all that, it's the wrong year/colour for me.

75 Flake Apricot is my kryptonite :)

Strange that the seller doesn't say if it runs or rides or anything, might be useful for people to know that.

Well a K0, especially a 69 K0 as complete as that one would be a bargain here for that money, what's wrong with it? Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

This is a red flag.  Indicative of deception usually.  Seems to be supported by the member above's personal experience dealing with the seller when he said "sometimes things are not what they appear to be."

Probably should just tell us though what is going on with the bike.
