I'd agree with your figures with the exception of the 77 Z1000. I'd say that's more like £8k.

Probably right Nigel. Impossible to predict asking prices these days even more so what the fetch.

Cheers Zedhead and all, if I can get circa £7K and to a good home I'll be happy, I've had a lifetime of fun so would be a bonus if I can give someone else a bit of the same!!

Indeed, prices are a bit all over the place.
However, there will always be buyers who are prepared to pay top money for nice, original bikes.

Asking prices and selling prices are miles apart.

This Z1A (in Z1B colours), has been with them for at least 5 months with an asking price £14995, - https://bournemouth-motorcycles.co.uk/l ... asaki-z900

Then there is this Z900A4 at £19995, whilst it is a nice enough looking bike it is not mint and massively over priced.

I sorted the carbs on this bike and it is in very, very nice shape, all original and rides well.

Owned by myself since 1992, hundreds of receipts kept over the years.

Engine is 1075 Wiseco, HD valve springs, APE valve spring retainers, crank rebuild by Debben with new rods / bearings, etc, other head work done valves reground new seats etc (about 4000 / 5000 miles since the rebuild), APE HD crank case / cylinder studs, main bearing studs etc, roller clutch push rod conversion, HD clutch springs, VM 29mm Smoothbores (£300 + spent on new internal from Allens Performance), brand new genuine K&N filters, Dyna Ignition, coils, Taylor leads, billet manual cam chain tensioner, HD Tsubaki race cam chain, Billet cam end plugs, Stainless one off exhaust (by the same guy that used to make Jim Moodies echausts - SWONA), Arkront rims, high flow Pingel fuel tap (think this is a pattern one tbo), Deep braced JMC swinging arm (could be doing with re-powder coating if your really fussy but is OK atm), brand new 520 (?) Debben Chain / Sprocket Conversion kit, Koni shocks, progressive front springs, Specials (Glasgow) Spondon 13 inch fully floating discs and Nissin 4 pot calipers, brand new HEL brake lines, brand new EBC fully floating rear disc (not in photos as still to be fitted), new pads all round, brand new (pattern) switch gear, brand new radial ClassicAttack tyres front and rear just fitted so not in photos, brand new front mudguard (ZPower) still to be fitted, most other chrome is OEM and in good condition, Genuine mint GIULIARI/ 2/4 seat and standard OEM seat in great condition. brand new chrome mirrors (not in photos still to be fitted), brand new Motobatt gel battery just fitted. Brand new = meaning just fitted or next to zero miles.

Cheers and thanks for your help.

Loverly looking & practically modified Zed & a credit to you..............so do you really want sell it ....seems such a shame to me ??? I understand your creaking a bit ..... if were gunna be honest .....were all like you around here ha ha ( me, I've just had spinal surgery 3 months ago & now I'm on the hospital waiting list again for new complete hip joint joint packages BOTH to be done with 90 days ( so the Consultant has dictated ) ! Like you most of us are die hards here that date back many decades & our bikes are part of us = a reflective picture of us & our past ...you & your Zed have real irraplaceable history . Reading between the lines John ...sounds to me like you'd really regret that move within a month or two . I really hope you keep it !
All the best, Johny. B

Hi Johnny, youre probably right, I'm still working on the Zed so in no hurry atm haha!!

I've probably mentioned it but I've bought a new KTM Duke 790, it exactly 10 stone lighter than the Zed and has all the modern electronics to keep me riding for a while yet!! I'll see how I feel about the Zed in the spring as I doubt I'll get everything I want to tidy up finished before then ;)
