been looking on autotrader website what’s the deal with Z900 prices,I know the retro style bike fetched strong money but the more modern uglier one is way cheaper,new ones at £6495/£6795/£6995way cheaper than the retro style one even second hand,I know they don’t look as good but ffs £2000 difference is a shit load of money.
It's a hipster thing I think. Lots of retro stuff out there at the mo, all getting 'bobbered' or' cafe'd' I nearly bought an A2 gpz900r last year, for just under a grand. Wish I had, could have made a profit! Been looking for a decent Kawa GT550, but it's either shite on offer or its been bloody bobbered...
Aha there’s a nice gt550 on glasgow gumtree now at a decent price,it’s advertised as a Z550 for some reason.
It was a z500 engine until around '88 they rebranded, GT meaning grand touring (I think) Still the same engine, sleeved down z750 iirc. I've looked at a few now, mostly rot boxes.
