No idea on the bike, but with all the chrome on it, and how much I'm assuming the owner had to spend on it, I'd say 'a lot of money' would be asked for it. But it would carry less REAL value than a stock Z1R, and at that point, I doubt the Z1R part has much effect on value.

No clue how much should be paid for it tho.

Nice looking bike, I can appreciate the hard work that went in to it. To much chrome for me. Looks like an air shifter and struts? Was this bike in FL.

I like the removable engine mount on the left side of frame. Another shiney do-dad to ad to that plain side of frame.
Then again, it looks just like a bracket to hold oil cooler?
I would have done that 10 yrs ago before frame paint.
Plus I like the plain dyno cover. I machined down that and points cover before I powdercoated a set Black for myself.

Your cover look nice. I have been toying with the idea of printing an angled points cover with a window in the top. Why? Because I can.
