Looks to be a reasonable start for a restoration. $14.1K at time of post. Its amazing how much prices have risen even in the last 12 months.

will be interesting to see what this RH horn unit brings it it meets reserve.

Does all those bikes offered go to the VIN directory?
Lots of work to do and correct parts to buy here. Already expensive for a restoration basis.
Interesting to see how far the auction goes.

I do TRY to save bikes I see for sale to add to the VIN directory. I think I may look for a volunteer to be the keeper of the spreadsheet and send me updates in small batches to add to the website directory. Anyone? ;)

this auction will be interesting to see what price the bike brings being's it's a RH horn vin that's decent looking, not restored, work's been done to it, i.e., older repaint, HM300's, will run but not in running condition, has various incorrect parts, i.e., seat, ign.switch. i would suggest this bike will give some sort of an idea what RH horn units in "average" or "good" condition are worth. i am wondering what the same condition LH horn bike would be doing were it at auction? is a higher >2xxx vin LH horn bike worth more because it has a LH horn vs. RH? Should a LH horn vin be worth more simply because it is a LH horn unit? after all, more LH horn units were produced than RH units...... at what vin point does the value of a sandcast "level" out and one particular vin does not bring more or less than another vin? At what vin point do values start dropping noticeably?

Hi Steve,
Not sure if the bidders know of LH or RH horns. I don’t see a decent bike but only a restoration basis. Look at the detail pics. A bit too much patina, if rust on bar, bolts etc. can be told as patina. All the expensive parts missing/wrong. Such as front fender, seat, colour, exhaust. Not even the KO air filter box.
Normally K wonder how cheap bikes are in USA but in this case I wonder how high it goes.

Uli, you make a good point of bidders not know of LH vs. RH horn models. i remember back in the day being surprised the horn was not always on the RH side....

Hi!
In my opinion the most interesting with this auction is that it stopped at 18.000 a. Ouple of days before ending. Last two days nothing more happened.

thanks for acknowledging that Bo, i remember seeing bidding stalled, and i noticed ebay did not state after auction ended that the item sold....

I think he did well to get $18k IMHO. The bike needed so much to correct it and it will cost at least $5k additional as a minimum. Other than the obvious, it was missing a fair number of #8 bolts, had an odd set of caps on the forks, front switch was shot, most chrome bolts and fittings were rusty, and the bike generally was very weathered. The odd indicator rear lenses in one photo, and the absence of seat pins made me think this bike was touched up to look a $million just for the sale. In fairness to the seller he was fairly accurate with the description. Again, I think $18K was a fair price

I think $18k was a very decent price for it. I think a similar condition bike 12 months ago would have been in the 10-14k mark. Prices are on the rise, even for projects.
