    1500 for a parts bike with no title. Ummm, no.

      What's it worth if it had a title?


      Life is too short to ride an L.

        $1500 would be top-dollar for a nice KZ550 - at least here where I bought my GS1100ED for $1850.

          A bit pricey.

          I paid $1500 for my freshly painted, excellent running '82 1100e last fall.
          1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

          2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

              I would say the asking price would be $1,500 for a titled bike in that condition. I've seen them higher but who knows what they sold for? That paint scheme is not very common at all. It's the same as the 1982 KZ750L. I think it's cool, even if not as attractive as some of the other schemes.

              BTW, I am not trying to interest anyone here in this purchase, just lamenting a fine bike going to be a parts bike because it's tied up in probate court. Who knows if the bike will even turn out to be his when all is said and done? Is it tied up because the distribution of assests is being disputed? Who wants to get into that rats nest?

                I would say $1500 for that bike, if titled, would be fair as well, so long as it runs as well as it looks.

                As is, with no clear legal ownership, it is truly a parts bike with a scrap frame. $500, tops.


                I will add to the above. IF I had or knew where I could get for cheap a titled KZ550A or dual shock GPZ550 frame, I'd give the guy $1,000 for it. It looks pristine.

                    If it's "tied up in probate", I don't think its even legal to sell it, titled or otherwise. Yep - would be a legal mess

                      He probably can't sell it legally in any condition, parts or otherwise.
