Title: Good deal for someone - Â£1500 750 k6
Post by: JamesH on August 23, 2014, 07:45:55 AM: Guys - just spotted this. Not mine. Could be a good deal for someone at Â£1500...

Looks like it's in the sevenoaks area in Kent?

Anything K6 and below is making good money at the moment.

Exactly. I've seen this bike graham mentioned in person and it has repro dss hm341's, a reasonable paint job (wrong scheme for a k6 us bike which ut is), rusty tank interior that was corrected and flowliner sealed, powdercoated frame, repro seat etc...not my bag but i imagine his reserve is Â£6k ish (he wont divulge this). Presented right these bikes do sell for reasonable prices, even a bitsa like this...

Post by: Trigger on August 23, 2014, 07:36:44 PM: I would be on that K6 for 1,500 like a rash, but i have some idiot that had his valves changed from titanium to aluminum on his Hayabusa and wonders why it dropped a valve at 7,500rpm on warm up. Found part of a valve seat in the turbo.
