      Way cool, but I thought the 750 two stroke triple was the Holy Grail.

        That's an interesting bike but why do you say Holy Grail? Isn't that bike just a reduced displacement 900?

          There are only 21 of these registered in the US, values greatly exceed the Z1

                  Yeah crazy indeed, this one was purchased in 1975 in Okinawa Japan by a gentlemen who was in the military and brought it back to the states. Far as I know they were never sold n the US.

                        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                          I would think that like most rare bikes the HUGE dollars come with a bike in stock condition.
                          Having not seen a pic, how far from stock is it?
                          Do any of the 900 parts crossover? Is it still considered legit if they do crossover?
                          If it is in the $25,000 range you are not going to want to ride it.
