1976 KV75 Mini-bike was created by Wheelhop
Trying to make room for larger "projects".  For sale is a 1976 KV75 mini-bike. 
It's a very nice mostly original bike that has a dent in the tank and damage to the bottom of front plastic fender. (see pics)
Will be traveling from Chicago, IL thru St. Louis, MO and on to Orlando, Florida at the end of month and could deliver if it's near my route.
$2,000 OBO.

That was my original intent with this KV75 to have a pit bike to take to car events.  Need to make room for a couple projects coming in at end of this month.

I think your about $500 low on the price for the condition.

I have a 1981 Honda Z50R in about the same shape and they are selling for about $3000. I consider the Kawasaki a more desirable pit bike, plus they are more rare than the Honda 50's.

I agree with your assessment but am comfortable with what I am asking."

This one sold for $4300, put that puppy on BAT, it may take a while for them to list it but that's where the deep pockets are.

Well the local Paintless Dent guy didn't want to risk damaging the fuel inlet area so I have decided to send the tank to a guy in Griffin,Georgia who said he will be able to fix it.  "Dent Hogs" he goes by and I've seen him do some nice work on his Youtube videos.

Very nice original KV you got there Wheelhop.     Wish you success with your sale.

Soon, I will begin the process of restoring my first motorcycle, a 1974 F7 175.  I also picked up a 1975 model and found a pristine fuel tank to put on.  That 1975 has very similar graphics as your KV.   .  

BTW, I am in the far western burbs of Chicago area.  Myself and some other locals go out on rides.  If interested, just let me know.
