Anyone want to guess how much it will bring? Nd4speed, watcha say?

Nice bike, my guess is 5K

It's perfect except for that front fender, I always wondered why the 84/5 kxt fenders always got those stress marks, while the 86/7 never did.

My guess is 7500-8000, it's been a while since a nice one came up and times have changed...

[Dimitris]

Right you are Erik. I think it is time for a mint 87 kxt on ebay:-)

214645There is a perfect Kawasaki 250 Tecate at west coast headquarters in Los Angeles. But it is not for sale. Its only can be viewed by employees thereOnly reason I saw it was a friend of mine is sponsored Kawi rider and I waited for him while he was at his monthly meeting. But my jaw dropped when I saw it.

I like the story, but if I found that bike sitting in a barn for 25 years it would be in much worse condition. That barn must have been heated. I wonder how much the story adds to the price.

"Barn Find" has become a generic term for sure.

Otherwise, what an awesome score. Im jealous.

I wonder how dirty the barn was or rather how much cleanup work they did to it after they hauled it home.

Guessing.............$8,200.

[MRBIGWHEELZ]

My guess is.....it wont hit the reserve price and wont sell....

[nd4speed]

So almost $5K then listing pulled

[yaegerb]

And......a private buyer made them an offer they couldn't refuse....damn Don Corleone

[nd4speed]

I have bought parts from them and they have listed other very nice clean Honda trikes in the past. How they find the stuff is what baffles me.
