If the price is for two tickets, that is a good deal.
Leeds is not served by many international airlines, so prices tend to be high from there.
September 2018 is far away, so we have little idea about what fares will be then.
LBA-SFO 125,000 miles per ticket is their cheapest classic award, so that's good. But the cash part is high.
Let's say that you could buy a cheap J ticket at GBP3,000 (6,000 for two). That values your miles at about £0.02 which is good. However remember that you might have little flexibility in changing dates. Also connections in AMS might not be good.
But I agree that it is a good find.
