Gauging interest in my Z1000

#1 PostAuthor: dwhitehouse » Thu Nov 02, 2017 5:02 pm

Thinking and I mean thinking about parting with my Z1000.

I've had her for 8 years and have completely rebuild the chassis, brakes, wheels, suspension. Loads of wiring fixes etc. You know the deal and she is now a reliable ride.
I've just not found time to use her at all this year. She's far from perfect or original but is a good ride-able project for someone.

I have stripped her down completely and rebuild everything except for the engine and gearbox.

The engine and box are fine, everything works but she has done 45k miles and I was planning to strip the head off and put new seals in, re-seat the valves etc.

With her just sitting in the garage at the moment things are starting to go a bit rusty here and there again and I'm wondering what she might be worth and would anyone give her a good home.

I must have put £2k in into her and she cost about £2k - got to be worth in the £4500 region surely ?

Yeah £6K easy...especially from ebay.

as long as it looks 95% unmessed with and is a good runner it will sell easily.

I'd Think £6K is pushing it a bit given it's very non - standard.

Start at the £4.5K and see how it goes from there...

Thanks chaps.

Anyone on here interested at £4500 ? I'd rather it went to someone here than pimping it out on eBay.

If not I'll give eBay some thought over the weekend.
