 Right?Originally posted by rphillips View Post"Two successful guys". Hard to imagine anybody making decisions to give that money for that bike could ever become successful.

 That bike has (low) 515 miles. It's, presumably, original, not a restoration. Two things that add value.Originally posted by first timer View Posthttps://www.mecum.com/lots/1129262/1...1000sz-katana/
 
 nice $16,500, and it's missing stuff, that will help with getting mine appraised.Ed

 restored or unrestored, someone has been into it, it's missing air box covers and the air box, rubber boot dial covers on shocks, some goofy spring contraption on the choke, possible aftermarket windscreen (no GE logo). Heat storage or not, after 40 plus years with oem brake fluid in the brakes and anti-dive system would be fuzzy and chunky, this system looks nice, someone had to have cleaned up all that. I am just saying it's a nice bike but it has its flaws and it still went for $16,500. Yes the low miles offset some of those short comings but still, for that kind of money i would expect a more whole example.Last edited by first timer; 02-05-2025, 02:21 PM.78 GS1000 Yosh replica racer project
