'80 F1 tank?

Came across this on ebay, according to striping it "should" be a 79? I want it but I'm sure bidding will rocket above my budget so friggin fast! Hey, I could change my tail section to '79 striping!!

That looks great!

Hope you get it. If you do I can go pick it up for you and you know, make sure it's all right!:whistle:

That tank is the exact same color and stripe pattern as the tank on my '78 KZ650B.
So unless the PO of my bike swapped it before I bought it, that eBay seller has the wrong year listed.

Sweet starting bid on such a beautiful NOS tank, and hopefully the bidding doesn't go beyond what you're willing to pay for it.

Yea, that's a 78 B2 tank. I could use that myself. I have 3 650s that use that exact same tank, color and all.

RonK650, Mmmmmmmm...... and your ebay name is?????? It's mine, mine, mine!!!!!! Seriously, I'll bet the price goes way more than most of us could afford! I'll be watching carefully with a second bid window open.. 5-4-3-2- mine!!

My guess would be that it brings between $150 and $200. I hope I'm wrong but I doubt it will go cheap, it's much too nice.

I'm sure your correct Gringo, I was pissed off when I lost last tank. It went for $71 and it was not new but just as nice!

Here is one I saw last year, exact same as mine (did not need it then) and it went for $270 !!!!! I'd sure love that tank now! For MUCH less tho...

I'd bid $200 right now, but don't want to foul up you getting the tank, if that matters. I bought a new tank just like it for $200 a couple years ago, and believe it or not, I bit the bullet and paid like $600 for a new blue tank way back in about 1995 before internet for me through Kawasaki to put on my then about 140,000 mile KZ650. I even thought then the whole bike is only worth $600 and I'm putting a $600 tank on? Well I love it and always have.

Ron, My budget doesn't allow much more than 80-100. Like Gringo says, will go for more than I can afford. GO FOR IT, DUDE!!! I know it will be way out of my reach, and I'd rather see someone here get it!

I've been watching this on my ebay. When I left for work this morning John was the high bidder I think at $32.00 and I thought to myself well maybe he'll get lucky. I just checked it again, it sold for $202.50. My original guess was darned close.

Yea, stupid me! I got all excited thinking I may have it with less than 4 hrs to go. I went up to $80 and was still outbid. I quit and yes, it went for $202.50!!
