K1 on BAT!
« on: January 30, 2021, 05:40:37 PM »
 Did anyone comment on the K1 750 on BAT? It was reportedly bid up to sandcast money. I saw it on FB.

 And multiple colors of brown. 6 times what I sold my K1 for and it was nicer than that bike. I feel like a hedge fund manager this week.

OK, I can sell my K2 for $30.000US then!! ;)
Also brown...
Seriously... I doubt I'll get the money back if I should sell it.
15.000 is plus, 10.000 probably minus.

That bike seems to have the later tank with petcock on LEFT side? K5-K6. The photo is not that sharp.

The petcock is on the right side not the left. Scroll down to the second picture of the right side. It is there. Yes their pictures are grainy.

 Should I get some K1 side covers and oil tank for my sandcast?   And remember this, the losing bidders are still out there somewhere.
