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.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page the listing has 132 pictures of the bike.

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.
