Kz900 Restore or sell..what's it worth these days

Trying to decide ifni should restore or sell this as is..don't really ride any more and have a ton of other projects anyway..got it when my dad passed away in 2017..had been sitting for years in his garage. I cleaned carbs about 5 yrs ago and had it running but needed to sync carbs etc and didn't get any further. Got busy with kids and life..has sat since.put a short video of it the night I got it running years ago .looking for value ideas if I sold it as is etc.

Where in the world are you (it makes a big difference to value)

Ct, while the KZ900 was indeed a Fantastic machine, they just don't bring the funds of the earlier Z1's or even the 1977 1000. Your 900 at least has the original airbox but does it have the snorkel? And while all those saddlebags/Windjammer/LTD seat/engine guards/custom paint/exhaust may (seem) to add value, they actually do the opposite. I have a personal KZ900 that has everything OEM redone but haven't assembled it yet, worth more in individual parts then as a whole. Restore is a loaded word, can take on different connotations for different folks. If that were mine, i wouldn't bother removing all that hardware and just sell it as-is. Around here in Kansas, probably a 3K OBO bike. If top tier restored, none of that Z1 Enterprises or Z1 parts Aftermarket stuff, maybe 8-10K. The KZ900 has always been the Odd-Ball and hardest to forecast value.       

I agree with Clay.  If you're not going to keep it, be aware you may not recover the money you put into it in any "restoration".  If you decide not to sell, it looks to be in decent shape.  In that case, revive what needs to be done (tires, brakes, tune up) and enjoy riding.

Looks like an old police model judging by the floor boards, pipes, rear bags and guards. I had one of those back in then day and turned it into this. 

 
 

Just a pedestrian KZ900 My Friend Cra-Z1. Look at You in all your Youth, Bet you had pickings of all the cheerleader hotties. 

I'm located in mason city iowa.sorry.still trying to figure out this forum and navigation etc..

Was my dad's bike.first bike i got a ride on as a kid
.has the old vetter fairing with an 8track player..it actually still worked the night I tried it around the time I brought it home years ago..he actually had a kiss tape in the bags I fixed and tested it out with..definitely babe magnet material...

If it were me it would be priceless if my dad cherished it and I hope my son feels that way when I'm gone.Just my 2 cents. 

It's kind of a different situation..my parents got divorced when I was young..dad kinda wrote me and my brother off...didn't do anything with us..only reason my step mom and her kids didn't want it was because it didn't run..she was gonna let scrappers take it..on one hand its the only thing I got out of the deal .yes i have child hood memories but on another it reminds me of other bad things every time I look at it and upsets me too..torn but leaning towards just selling it and closing that book of my life.complicated story with alot more to it but that's the gist..
