Some of those Z2's looked "rough" when I checked out the pictures. Pretty lame even by my standards.

The Z1's are selling well.  One went for $34K.  Another went for $29K.  CB750 prices are all over the map but a sandcast went for $43k
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.
