Just wondering why this bike sold so high.

cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...me=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

It looks nice but has a ton of miles on it. It has nice carbs. and some chrome but other than that it looks like a normal kz.It is missing some parts from the looks of the pictures.

Maybe the buyer mistook it for a 650!

Maybe, like the original boner, the buyer thought that two toned seat was the cat's pajamas?:unsure:

again sorry I don't want to turn your post into a circus. It looks like a nice bike to me but not at that price. it has alot of the things people seem to want. as with any auction you never know what something will bring sometimes people get caught up in the auction and just keep bidding and lose sight of reality. also I don't know where the winning bidder lives, to me here in the US its not worth that much but to someone in another country that has the money to spend and spend plus shipping it becomes more about the vehical and not the money. alot of our old cars are being shipped out of the country nowadays.

It's obvious why it sold for such a high price (for a wimpy 1000 anyway).

It's that extremely rare "Gorgeous Vance & Heins exhaust!"
