1977 KZ 1000 engine

How much should one be worth? As far as I know it is stock and in running condition.

I live near Portland, Oregon and my rider is a '76 KZ900 I bought new. I'm also in the process of restoring another one and a '73 Z1.

Do you know how many miles are on it ?
Does it look like the screws are all chewed up or are they in good shape?
Has it been apart or look like it was messed with a bunch?

If the engine looks like it has never been apart and isn't frozen maybe 300 would be fair.
If it has been messed with a lot you never know what you are going to find.

Around here if you are patient you can find a whole bike with title that has been sitting for around 1000 bucks

Thanks JD. There is not much history on this , but the screws look unmolested.

KZs are getting rare around here....
