I know that seems like a lot of money, but if you slap an original exhaust on that thing and put it on eBay you'll make money. It's amazing to see what they are going for. I've seen over $10,000 for truly original 900's. This one is a '73 but take a look for comparison:

Z1 on eBay

and this one:

And another Z1 on the Bay

I think it's a good investment as long as it's as original as it looks. People don't realize how many thousands it takes to restore a bike. It really adds up fast.

beardog63 Offline User Posts: 50 Thank you received: 2	its all original missing the grab bar ; but there is no rust anywhere and no dents etc. it has 20,000 original miles and is pretty much mint the pics really don't do it justice. its nice to hear that the price was'nt to overboard but sometimes i guess you have to go with your heart
