The Dreaded What's it Worth Thread.....

Okay,

So I picked up a nice original 82 KZ1100 A2

21,700 Miles.

Exhaust is nice, seat is nice, side covers are nice. (shiny, no rust, etc)
Needs a new front tire at the moment.

Unmolested in every way! Bought it from the second owner who has had it since '92.

It still has all the factory stickers on the forks and seat and everywhere. Even the break in period sticker on the tach (not to exceed 4k RPM's during the first 500 miles, not to exceed 6k during the next 1k miles)

I really don't know what it's worth, and need to know what to insure it at (stated value) Otherwise, I would get blue book should something happen (roughly $1,000)

Thanks in advance!

Attached a pic for reference

Shizz,

I looked at the pic you attached, I'd say that bike is worth about $200.00.
Being the nice guy that I am I'll give you $250.00 for it so you don't feel so bad
having purchased a real old outdated bike like that...


From what I see around here, (I know I live in the boondocks) but used bikes of this vintage
seem to sell for between $2.00 to $2.50 per cc. So I'd say a safe bet would be the bike is worth $2200.00 to $2750.00. Just my opinion....

I second what Bob said...between 2 and 3 thousand $$...not so coincidentally, both the NADA and VJEMC vintage guides corroborate that amount

you can insure it for any amount you want,just make sure its written into your policy that you want to value it at a certain price.
of course the premiums you pay will reflect it,so id insure it for $20,000.00 and hope for it to disapear! :woohoo:

It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it, not a dime more. But, most I've seen around my area have been going between 2 and 3 grand.

+1 Exactly!

you can still insure it for whatever you want to pay though! :laugh:

:woohoo: WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW! :woohoo:

I was thinking more like 1500-1700...Not really familiar with these big fours though.

I STOLE this bike!

So long as it disappears well before one had paid 20k in premiums! :S
