hello all,
looking for a bit of advice ive been offered a z1000 for £500 its a 1987 on e plate, bit tatty obviously but appears complete and runs.
it must be one of the few that's escaped being broken on ebay
would it be worth giving it the many hours it will need to put it right or just a labour of love

[lloydie]

All depends if you want to spend the time and money on it

[10robbo]

would you personally go for it,or see it as a dead loss.
cant see it being worth much when done.

[lloydie]

I wouldn't as it's an old bus .
Only if it was something I really wanted would I bother with it

[grumpyfrog]

Is it the naked one or the Tom Cruise top gun one?

[10robbo]

it has fairing and its in black
but I have to agree with lloydie it would be a bit of a shed

[popkat]

You mean a GPZ1000RX ?

Not really worth bothering with unless you love them or want to transplant the engine into a nice GPZ900R.

Depends what model it is really, try and get a pic of it and throw it up here.

The problem is parts are expensive, so it'll end up most likely costing you a lot more than it will be worth when finished, and that will be without taking into account the many hours of time involved. As others have said, unless you have an attachment of some kind with this model, then not really worth doing,

Now If you'd said 1977 Z1000 for £500 it would be a different story
