Opinions on the value of a 1976 KZ900 stock oem frame with the New York State matching title?
Not good! back frame triangle brackets were cut of along with the brake pedal anchor.
Oh well.

I suppose the frame is repairable if someone has the skills, or if they have the money to get it done. There are better ones out there so to me the only useful parts would be the wheels and the mirror. I see the lower fork tubes are also buggered.

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

I'm thinking bare titled frame would be $150.00 with the passenger peg mounts removed.$200.00 if they weren't.
i've got some bare frames no title that i'd take a hundo for.but,i don't think i could get $150.00 out of em with no paper work.in oklahoma we can title 42 something and get a title for around $150.00.
if you found someone that was looking for that particular frame year and model they might be willing to go a lil higher.
when your wanting to buy everybody want's gold,when you want to sell nobody wants to pay.

that's my .02 fwiw.

This was a $500 barn find, The guy cut the brackets off in 1995 to try a cafe style with Honda swinger and rearsets. Luckily he used a nice sawzal and kept the pieces. He even had the rims wrapped up. All I did was grind the spots and weld them back on.
12,000 miles. I flipped this to "KAZ" Classic Runners in California for a $2400 profit in 2012.

That doesn't look like a Z1 speedo. Only up to 140 mph.

Exactly! Those gauges look like they are probably from a 1978 or later KZ650 but definitely not a Z1. Notice that along with the top speed indicated as 120 mph instead of 160 mph those gauges also have the blue rings around the dials rather than a black rings. So I wonder what the actual mileage of that bike would have been; I bet it is something greater than 12,000 miles . Ed
