That is way too much money for a restored '47.

An original paint bike would be worth more, but I don't think you are getting a post war Knuck that high. The bike is gorgeous, assuming all the parts are correct, $50k-$60k would be reasonable for a '47.

Someone got suckered by a good story. And museum bikes usually need work to become a runner again.

My opinion.

Agree way to much. But some people $200,000 is pocket change. They would have paid twice that just to have it.
