Not
Isn't this the same one that was on eBay a while back with the later model cylinder and head, and didn't even get bids at $3500?

Hey - there's my new KR flat-tracker! Just need to come up with...uh-oh...$9500? [:0]
I'd actually like to have the old school cylinder and head, thank you very much. More ooh and ahhs from the modern guys at the shear size and breadth of the fins. :D
Heck,
You could own mine, that is original white Gel coat for 1/2 that!

It was most likely some Kids race bike at one point. Lol

Hold on to that for now, Mike. I'm going to make some minor mods to my TTR 125 and go racing locally. If I determine that I will not kill myself - your KR will be added to my bucket list!
Nice bike by the way. BEAUTIFUL bike. Just curious - is the original white gel coat how they were actually sold? And...what year is your model?
Thanks for a response.
As far as I know, you had to paint them yourself.1977 was the only year they were made, and there was possibly only 50 of them, maybe even less. According to the brochure page, they were available either as a complete bike, or you could choose from a list of parts to build one from scratch. Mike
