Found a ZX7 in a local field, so I went to have a look, see if I could get it bought ...or not

Geez, I paid 15 for a 90 GSX-R 1100 from the original owner with spares included. Needed a little crash damage repaired which I've done. Looks and runs great. Besides the tinted windscreen and EBC rotors it's completely stock. That ZX is a $200 pile of parts. Maybe not even that much if it's been painted.

Like you said….. only 10 minutes away, how can you not go and take a look. Love the 5 min. video!

Yep, worth a look but not worth the asking price. Bullet dodged, I'd say!

That bike was 100 dollar from running. Missed opportunity.

It hurts to see an iconic bike rotting away like that, but for that price you can sometimes find a running one... Great content anyway.

No loss there but you hate to leave it sitting in a field
@true-moto-restoАй бұрын
Yea, I was hoping to grab it for parts, but not at that price. Shame it will rot out there, been sitting for 20 yrs already
@jerryshepherd6528Ай бұрын
With only 10 mins down the road certainly worth a look, seems the guy is chancing his arm asking that much for it and considering how much work is required you`d need to get it for a good price.

Are you kidding? Buy it!!! If I lived close by, I would have already bought it. Restored they are going for $17k. I have two of them. Just those panels are extremely hard to find, I can’t even find a front fender.
@true-moto-resto12 күн бұрын
Not worth that money here. I have 3 of them and running and all complete they sell for $1500-3000 in need of restoration. I know in the USA they bring more but not here in Canada. Restored they bring 10,000 CAD. far far less than they bring in the USA.

$1500 the guy is delusional. That thing was terrible. If you offered $500 it was too much. He should have snagged the cash. If the motor was intact and still in the bike un seized i might have done $500. Frame and wheels was the value, even the farings would have to be cheep to sell for parts. All i have is old bikes but you cant save them all. I have a '83 GS 1100 E i can find parts for easier than that thing

Had one of those in black and red. It was hard to find parts for a decade ago. 160 was all it could muster with 220lb on its back. Had a muzzy full race pipe. Dyno jetted. And advanced ignition. Didn't wake up to bout 10,000. Rpm that way thoe. That last 2 was fun. I never put another race pipe on a st bike after that. It sounded like a cr 500 at idle. And 25 mph sounded like 80. All the wrong attention, if you can't behave. Killed 1st motor and replaced it. Then, sold it with a bad water pump for 1000.00. They are a cool piece of history. Not much else Thoe. Not much power nor lean angle.

Just looking at the tacky turn signals , curled clutch lever and " rear fender eliminator " treatment , we know the owner is an accessory shop enthusiast . Headache avoided by not buying this bike
@true-moto-restoАй бұрын
Apparently it was bought like this 20’yrs ago. Been apart for all that time. Like many bikes of the era, it got the “treatment” and is all the worse for it. It was only ever going to be good for parts.

$1500? Either the seller is delusional or secretely wants to keep it while telling his wife nobody wants to buy it. 😀
