Question: Sell whole or part out?

hear hear omr you are most wise not unlike yoda.or was that soda. i always get those two mixed up.

it definitly is a clean/nice lookin bike i think it would be a shame to bust it up,but it seems like no one wants to pay decent $$$ these days for older bikes,unless they are all original and pre 1976

Thanks for the feedback, KZ folks. I appreciate it. Tearing it apart would take a lot of time. I suppose I'll list it for sale in the Spring here and on Craigslist and see what happens.

I've nothing against the bike, per se. I would just like something newer.

I'd have to disagree with that statement. Given the right place and the right time a 76 KZ 900 will bring good money. I sold this one at Mid-Ohio within the first 3 hours of arriving to a guy from Denmark for $2400.00. It was original, low mileage and ran well but it needed help in the cosmetics department. I also did not have a title for it. When this pic was taken the new owner had already replaced one of the missing side covers and replaced the ugly non stock seat with a new repro seat.

that bike of yours gringo is alot closer than stock,and 2400 is not really high dolloar,the bike in question has lots of mods sum major ones if you look close,like i said its a really nice bike but i doubt it would pull better than 3grand,

True, that KZ900 I sold was completely stock but the picture made it look better than it actually was. It was a nice basis for a total resto but the buyer was looking at having to spend a lot of money to get it really nice.

That bike was one of a pair I bought for $1050.00, I was asking $3000.00 for it but I wasn't willing to screw around over a few hundred bucks. Having cash in fist after only 2 or 3 hours of being there made me real happy. You can't see it in the pic but the dyno cover was rashed and the rectifier was toast as well.
