a Belgian R100RS 1978 , popped up in Kansas CL a few months ago,
it had 36K miles a faded red smoke paint job and the kick starter with 40MM head pipes,
It languished at 4800.00 for a few weeks then it was gone.

Then a 1977 R100S in the same red smoke paint also popped up on CL ,
IIRC this was in Nebraska, was selling at 5500.00 went about 2 weeks then it was gone.

If your ready to cough up 9K I would be looking for a K1300S any year from 2009 to 2014.
Much better bike way faster and more contemporary.

But the old school twin bug may have bitten you....
remember the wooden brakes, the slow take off,
The carbs Bings or Dellortos , the narrow bars
the long travel suspension,
the jacking rear end every time you give it gas,
the diving front end every time to hit the brakes
