Rare bike. I always wanted one but saw prices all over the place. That one looks in great shape, what you pay for it?

I had one of those stored in my basement for years, for a friend. Engine was seized... no biggie. He wouldn't sell it to me at the right price... my mistake. I've been waiting for a good one to come along but they just don't. One showed up on Craigslist at a crazy price... another mistake... I should have pleaded temporary insanity and bought it. Now I'm totally overstocked on 550's and have no room... I need to unload a bike or two.

It's basically the smallest Gpz. It would be the perfect city thrasher to dust off the 1-speed moped guys.

Fair price for that. Ive seen 750 to $5k But IMO as rare as the bike is, finding a buyer is rare too. I had a KE100 for a while, beer run bike, but sold it after the honeymoon was over. Those ARs look to have a taller chassis, I wonder if they are more fun to ride.
