Poor guy. Who knew college or a wedding could be that much.  Why not ask for the moon if you really don't want to sell it. I love my Pentons ,but it's not a BSA Gold Star. My weakness . I just hope its not for medical or hardship. I remember ads for bikes .Injury forces sell. Suzuki TM 400  .The bike is new .5 minutes only. New seat and rear fender.

Seems like everything he had is worth magnitudes of order more than everyone else's...
What's the end game of a 20K auction ?

Makes me wonder what Jake knows about 74 125's that we don't know? I know JP owns one without a head light. Tell you the truth I havnt seen many 74 125's Pentons.
 But then again, it's a sheltered life outback here in the hills of Maine.

I like that name Crazy Zake. Sounds like he a legion within the Penton collectors. kind of like Grizzly Adams character. I would just scratch it just loading the bike and riding is a whole other deal. Its nice to see such pride in one's projects. It's hard to put a price on things we treasure more then others. Give him credit were all probably looking in the same mirror.

Who knows where these things top out.  Look what the collector car market is doing.  Muscle cars are bringing tens and sometimes hundreds of times what their original price was.  Any object will be worth what someone will pay for it.

Wow is this Jakes bike to. For what its listed somebody needs a tax right off or that bike full of drugs. I am thinking about selling or trades for my 1996 Works Kawasaki 250. Their not claiming its a factory race bike . Maybe their after the riding gear. Its not Superman suit or maybe it is and it makes you fearless. At least they could put all that great carbon fiber parts Greg Berg made for Kawasaki. I have the pink slip linked as one of the stable of bikes for his 96 championship.

I've got nearly the same machine, restored by the "best restoration expert in the country", $14,999.00 delivered anywhere in the lower 48 States, Alaska and Hawaii, to be negotiated, but doable.  Cayman Islands can also be arranged for the additional fees.

Good Luck !
