Sold for $13k + Buyers Premium,  looks like a steal to me at that price!!

I know someone who may (should) have bid on this.

Anyone on here know the bike's history or comment on it's originality?

That price makes a nice change from the eBay overinflated prices. But I am in the wrong continent for that!!

Cheers .... AshD

Seems Mecum's the place to get a good deal on K0/Sandcast.

I should have moved to Rockford Il. in 1993 when I was offered it !!   Or would that mean I would now be a Bridgestone fanatic !

Here are the pictures, any comments on its originality? Anyone know it's history or about the collector PO? $13k + $500 buyers fee. He also owned a ton of HD's which were auctioned at the same time plus other Japanese models.

Owner well known in American bike circles.  Didn't look to closely, but *appears* a low mile ?unmolested original? somebody got a deal.

See below, now I can come clean. See you all in Leiston Suffolk UK in 2015! I know a lovely B&B run by an ex-CB350 racer and his wife, not too far away. In a beautiful part of our country. Looking at that seat I reckon he could do to stock Yamiya red foams!
