Those nekkid model K75's usually get nice money.  Being low mileage doesn't hurt. 

The seller is not far from me and I've never heard of them.

My guess is that a nice round number like that is probably the set starting bid.

What I've been able to find is that the seller has sold a lot of bikes on BAT.  Looks like they are working out of their house as the company address is in a residential neighborhood.

Interesting business plan, buy local bikes, detail and do some minor maintenance jobs and then put them up on BAT.  No brick and mortar overhead.  No employees, and a low profile to avoid the government as much as possible.

Whoever owned it must have been very vertically challenged. It's got a low seat, short shock and has been lowered on the forks.

Front SS brake line but not rear.

Gen 1 cases on a 93.

Aftermarket grip rubber.

Looks very immaculate.

I wouldn't buy it though because the rubber side stand cap is missing. :laughing4-giggles:

BAT must attract buyers with more money than sense.  You can find a nice 2valve K for $3K all day long.  Seen some pretty mundane stuff go for mega bucks there, more so that other auction sites.

I can spend a lot of time drooling over stuff on BAT.

I've never registered though, and I have more than enough money sunk into motorized things.

But it's fun to see what comes up and the often very educated -- and sometimes very uneducated -- stuff that gets written up.

Geez on a cracker, I have a SE K100RS I need to get out of the garage.  Since noone here wants a good deal on one I think I might have to give BAT shot.
