Title: 1976 Kawasaki 900 Post by: Steve G. on December 21, 2023, 11:04:08 PM A very interesting machine pointed out during the conversation on the ‘74 H2. Observing it, it appears to have been artistically modified to cafe trim, with resultant higher cost . In other words it’s been destroyed. IMO actual value, $1200. No registration papers,,, $800. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/kelowna/1976-kz900-project/1680730002 Title: Re: 1976 Kawasaki 900 Post by: rz5mark on December 22, 2023, 07:41:26 AM Sweet plywood seat though...
Title: Re: 1976 Kawasaki 900 Post by: Steve G. on December 22, 2023, 07:47:59 AM I love plywood seats. Title: Re: 1976 Kawasaki 900 Post by: Galactica on December 22, 2023, 08:33:16 AM Ya, that bike is ruined. “Custom” doesn’t mean valuable. Ya, even $1200 is a big stretch. Really it’s a parts bike. I got my mostly complete, original ‘75 CB750 with registration for $1100.

Title: Re: 1976 Kawasaki 900 Post by: hardrockminer on December 22, 2023, 09:05:04 PM Kawasaki seats always felt like 3/4" plywood! Looks like someone got into something they couldn't finish. You know the story...lost interest....too many bikes and no time. Yeah, right!
I don't think it's ruined, but also not worth $5k. Hard to tell much from those S#*tty photos but the frame looks untouched. That would be my main concern. He's done a few things, but nothing permanent. I would pay $2k for it but he wouldn't go for that unless he was hard up. |
