1981 GPZ1100 ELR (clone) value? help!

J? Did some one say J? I like J motors;)

Go for it. GPZ or the J. If the GPZ/ELR runs well, then you will need to do cosmetic stuff and brakes, if the fuel injection is a problem, remove it and buy a set of Mikuni carburators off of ebay.No problem. The J and the GPZ use the same frame and the bodypanels,tank and seat are intercangeable. The J has carburators not fuel injection

now i think he is teasing us.
(get the j! i paid $348 for a j-head off e-bay)
the j-head has bigger ports and valves and is the pefered head for performance by most of the members here.

Hi,

Thanks for your comments everyone.

So I went today have a look at the bike on the picture. It is not that bad at all but.....

Will discusting with the guy, he tell me he have another one probably for sale. It's a 1984 KZ1100R. Not a clone. A real one with original paint and in very good condition. He is asking 4500 for it!

Know I need help how to check and what to check to make sure this is not a very good clone.

Somebody can help me for this?

Thanks again!

jcote75:

The KZ1100R1 is a difficult bike to assess as it was never released in the USA (only Canada, Europe, and elsewhere). In North America, the KZ1000R1/2 appear to be more desireable than the 1100R and generally command higher resale values. The few that I have seen for sale have sold for anywhere from US$2000 to US$4000 with the $4000 bike being in very very good shape. I suspect that unless the KZ1100R is in exceptionally nice condition, the C$4500 is a bit high.

Thanks for your comments.

BTW, the bike is lime green. At least it's not white..... well depend of each personal taste!

It has dual exhaust on it.

Any other comments?

Green eh? Dual exhaust? You might want to try and find out where the bike is originally from. The story (don't know the validity of this tale) I have is that the white bikes were sold in Canada and Europe while the green bikes w/dual exhausts were sold in Europe only. If you have a european bike, then the frame VIN will have less digits than a Canadian VIN bike, making the bike difficult to title in some places (something to consider in the future).

I've ask the serial number to make a few check about it.

I'll post it here fi some of you guys can assist me in my research.

Tks,
Joce
