I'm not an expert,but I've had a few dealings with a guy who is,and the value of a true KR motor lies in the eye of the buyer.
You can't ride it on the street,due to it's basic race only design(1/2 speed oiling,ect.)so it needs to go to a true race fan.
Dale Walkster has a few K's,1 that I know is a true papered history race bike,and he would be my first choice as a buyer simply because I
know he has the resources to build the entire,correct KR bike from a bare bones motor,and also because he would make it run and ride.
It would also be on display for all to see,as he owns his Wheels Thru Time K/XLR/XR display in Maggie Valley. That's just me though.
If the owner is just looking to make bank on this piece of true American Motorcycle History,all I can say is he will be very offended
in the low dollar offers he'll get,as parts and the talent to build one of these gems are getting pretty hard to find. If he really cares
about our culture and the history of the motor,He'll at least give WTT a call and see what they'll work it out to,maybe he has another
old bike he needs things for that they can help him with,or he can list it on the AMCA site,ect. It would be a shame to sell it to an
overseas buyer who's just going to put it in a glass case and brag on it. Just my Humble Opinion. Mike
