TOPIC:

in a couple hours I am going to look at a complete 77 KZ1000 with big bore kit, Kerker, swingarm. Bike has "electrical problems" and has been sitting for a few years. Complete bike, supposedly ran great.

what is it worth now, to pick up as a resto? what could it be worth?

thanks

you have a lot of variables to set price....if its really toast electrically, you can start with one of these...

i dont see where you could go wrong here...you could always part it out and make waaayyyy more back.......

Unless the bike has been sitting in a field for several years rendering it a rust pile, $300.00 is very reasonable. Remember though, you still might have to pump a fair amount of money into it to rebuild it...it will depend upon the shape of the carbs, lower end, replace front end seals, wheel bearings, cables, electrical, tires, etc. etc. Hard to give you a decent evaluation w/out you seeing the bike and photos for us to ogle. Consider that if the bike were in good shape and running, it may be worth between US$1500 and $3000.

$300.00 sounds good. Then when you get it home be ready to open your wallet and let the fun begin.

ok thanks guys. hey austin, can I get a full picture of your bike? I want to do my 650 with the engine in black like that one you have.

how did you prep the motor for paint?

I would make sure that the motor spins over. Use the kick starter if necessary. Be cool to check compression too if able.

With all of those added goodies, it's almost a steal.

a deal at 600.00.....buy the damn thing

....yea, and if you don't take it, let us know!

well I havent gone to see it yet, but I found out he hasnt paid DMV fees since 2006, do it has 3 years of back due DMV. It just may end up being an out of state sale to one of you guys.
