These are from new member beardog63. He's a new papa....so I eased his pain (I hope!!) a little to get these shots of his 75 900 up on here. Now I await the complimentary cigar!!

thanks guys i found it in the back garage at the local honda dealer. it was traded in a year ago and no one wanted her. the old girl is in amazing shape , but asking price was 6999.00, got them down to 6500 and they did some carb work and a tune up for free all i kept thinking about was what it would cost me to restore one so i bit the bullet and bought her.

I know that seems like a lot of money, but if you slap an original exhaust on that thing and put it on eBay you'll make money. It's amazing to see what they are going for. I've seen over $10,000 for truly original 900's. This one is a '73 but take a look for comparison:

Z1 on eBay

and this one:

And another Z1 on the Bay

I think it's a good investment as long as it's as original as it looks. People don't realize how many thousands it takes to restore a bike. It really adds up fast.

I guess you're right, just seems like a lot of dough to a cheap old yankee like me. All my KZs were $350 or less. Not as desirable as the older 900 though. That is a real pretty bike.

its all original missing the grab bar ; but there is no rust anywhere and no dents etc. it has 20,000 original miles and is pretty much mint the pics really don't do it justice. its nice to hear that the price was'nt to overboard but sometimes i guess you have to go with your heart
