So what do you reckon a '93 Zephyr 750 is worth?
The bike in question has a good service history, and is in great condition.

Not a clue what they are worth now, but Great little bikes.

I had a brand new one and so did my Mrs at the time.
Did huge mileage around the UK and France.
Originals had a couple of problems with base gaskets
but that was all fixed long a go.

They were in my eye's the TRUE retro, take a look at the
lines, the frame swooops around the rear of the engine
/ swing arm pivot like a true Z9/Z650. The 550 and 11 are
good but never had the right look to me.

Suspension is a bit basic on the front and a few more pony's
wouldn't go amiss.... but I like them. Nice to work on, great
lines, lots of Zed / Gpz / 750Turbo go-faster upgrades.

Be a nice project.

Thanks for the info Tony, and I'll pass on your "offer" to the owner Stu.
I have a spare Geep turbo motor [two actually, all in bits...REXIE!, where's that other one??]in my collection of GPZ parts, I'm thinking an engine swap would make for a damned punchy little retro ZED, to park beside my 810turbo.
Of course, only if the price is right.

The bike will up for sale in the near future. I get to ride it until the sale.......what a worry.
If you want it as is Jim, the owner would probably be happy to wait, and of course I would be happy to flog/maintain/thrash it till then too! It will be sold registered, roadworthy in the Northern Territory.
Good timing really, I've just started the tank replacement/paint etc on the 810, and will be getting onto the cam chain tunnel oil leak shortly, so I've got a ride while mine is off the road.
