Doubt it will go for much, as a runner it might be worth £200 to £300 if it is clean, but the small kwacks aren't collectable so far.
I have 76 kh125 that I restored for a laugh, but I decided to keep it for posterity and I ride it for any local journeys into town. It had been off the road for 13 yrs and only had 7000miles, but took a bit of work to get it running. If it has not been used all the rubber sels will be fecked. Main ones you need to worry about are the crank seals and the ones round the disk valve. The carb jets will be blocked and the sponge backing on the air filter will have disintegrated. Also worth changing the condenser, as mine started to breakdown when hot.
Good thing is all spares are cheap and still available. The biggest expense on mine was new tyres.
This is my old girl

I took a job wheelbuilding for Hagon a few years back, just to learn the black art of wheelbuilding.
More to it than it looks....
like most things in life.
