I looks pretty nice, but I don't think it's $4500 nice..

Something doesn't add up ...
The moto was repaired in 2004 with 4426 on the odometer then—perhaps after another 2227 miles was put on it—during the same year it was stored in a garage and left there until 2016 when it was sold while still in the garage where it remained until it was removed from the garage for rebirth in 2019 then ridden another 337 miles until the current owner became so excited by riding it he apparently forced himself to put it up for sale.

Right.  :laughing4-giggles:

Not unusual for an old MC to show up with low miles.  I'd expect issues from aged rubber bits and neglect but the splines are probably good.  Nothing iconic, 3k tops.

I do not understand some people, my K has only done less than 1700 miles a year in the last 31 years. Every time I think about selling it, I buy more kit to fit on it, I have jus bought an m unit to sort out the crappy wiring, I am hoping to keep the bike as standard as possible just upgrade the wiring.
