school stuff ! Ive had a 74 Z1,88 slabside gixxer and current ride a ZRX 1100
That Z1 is sweet, they are going for some coin now. Bikes that were relatively worthless when I owned them. There is a guy in Livonia that collects them when I met him a few years ago, he concurrently owned something like 17 of them plus a huge stash of parts. He must have had 15 sets of clean stock exhaust systems.
77 XS650 $50 bike that belonged to a guy I worked with at a furniture store. Fixed up and flipped in 1994 for $475, today it'd be worth $1600 in the condition I sold it in. I am a little disappointed at how many XS650's are being butchered into bobbers and Triumph Bonneville Cafe racers. I want one just to restore.
79 XS650 Custom $400 bike a buddy of mine and I rode while in college in Flint. I think he sold it to a fellow barfly after college for $50.H1 and H2 Kawasaki's 3 of them total, 1 H1 ran, the other was a pretty complete parts bike. The H2 ran as well, and was in very good condition aside from some oxidation on the engine cases. Bought all 3 for $450 (big money for me in 1993 on a college budget), and flipped them for $1600 (major beer money)or so total. 5 years later, the H2 was worth $4500 and the running H1 would have easily sold for $3700, and even the parts bike was worth $1500-1800 to a collector/restprer. Those shot up in value and were going for crazy money for a while, H2's were upwards of $7k for Mint ones.
74 CB750 Chopper. Santee oil tank, Finch electrical box, Fat Bobs, girder front end. Looked like hell in the condition it was in, but in today's Metric Chopper/bobber market it would have sold well above my $75 purchase price. I ended up parting it because the now popular SOHC 750 needed $300 in rings and gaskets, and carb work.
So short sighted of me :shake:
