[quote="wheelysteve"]Something like this.....
Japanese built 77 A1, not the original engine but that is a bike that wont loose value.

Not looking to build and sell, but at the same point want to get the best for my investment

On the listing he has the frame and engine numbers.
Frame number - KZT00A-006202
Engine number - KZT00AE038070
there is over 30,000 in the difference, a bit much even for Kawasaki.

The engine is still the the A1 range and it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

There is this 76 Japanese built z900 looks all there bar the exhaust. Might go for your money or might go higher.

A well restored 76 z900 can pull £15,000... but also i wouldn't wright that A1 off yet, its going for good money and the A1 is getting more rare these days and you can pick up a set of lower number engine cases easy....ish.
