Why is a clean MKII so hard to find?

They are sooooo scarce! A red one sold on eBay a few weeks ago for a small fortune. It was perfect except for badly yellowed pipes.
I've been searching the auction site for years and they so seldom appear. Why? It seems the Z1R TC is easier to find.
The MKII with a Kerker and low bars was an awesome looking bike. Would love to find one someday.

Is that 4000 of the blue 1979 model MKII's? If that's true I'll feel even worse that I painted mine back in the early 90's...
