"There are some things nobody needs in this world, and a bright-red, hunch-back, warp-speed 900cc cafe racer is one of them — but I want one anyway, and on some days I actually believe I need one.... Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba." Hunter S.

My K4
11,xxx miles.

May not be the original seat cover… but everything else is.  Found it in a in IL.
Almost didn’t buy it.  Was very dusty and didn’t show well.  Original owner swapped out the HM341’s but kept them safe.  They were put back on when I bought it.
