Is this a mint original?

I would have just passed it by, but it's being sold out of a motorcycle museum where, I assume, it was also billed as original and mint.

Re: Is this a mint original?
Paint looks 'rough' in the pics.
Front brake plate levers incorrectly positioned.
Air tube rubber clamps missing.
Exhaust crossover pipe missing.
Incorrect washer on the rear fender flap M8 stud.
Bizarro M10 top fork brace right side bolt.
Air filter housing paint color not factory.
Non-factory left handlebar grip.
Kickstart frame bumper incorrectly positioned. Ouch, when trying to start the engine
Incorrect fuel tap (and it's in the 'on' position )
All the best to seller, yet at a BIN of $25K USD, one should get more for that kind of BIN coin.

Ahh yes, but we don't have to go to the museum or believe what the auctioneer sprouts.
Well I hope not.

Re: Is this a mint original?
Maybe $7500-8500 and if it had a good proof the slingers were done by someone good then maybe a bit higher? That's what I would pay, but I wouldn't be interested much in the first place.
