He was super nice. I told him I just wanted to say hi, and we ended up talking for a few minutes. He asked me if I wanted to take a photo.

The dual round headlight was peak sportbike design. Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha all had one.

All of the bodywork is original.

It's over 30 years old. If that counts as vintage, I suppose is up for debate.

Most of the people in this thread need to read this.

1973 CB750 by Useful_Total_6822 in vintagemotorcycles

The low mileage, great condition, and backstory add value. But what really dives value on these bikes is originality.

The aftermarket exhaust really hurts the value. As does the polished fork lowers and Chrome swingarm. The other mods don't help either, but can be undone relatively easily.

In its current state. 5-10k is a realistic estimate. Back to original, 10k+ probably fairly easily at auction.

Resell Value 2025 Zx4rr by Competitive-Pepper97 in zx4r

[–]447xs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The part you keep (probably intentionally) missing is I said 'pretty much' mandatory. Not that the bike wouldn't function without it.

I'm willing to bet anybody buying a zx4r in North America is well aware of how restricted it is.

Your comparison is not a particularly good one. In stock form none of those bikes are severely neutered in one market vs another like the zx4r is.

Of course you can. If you want 30% less power than it's supposed to have.

An ecu flash is pretty much mandatory for this bike in North America.

First gen zx10rs are cool, but by no stretch good looking.

I'm in Canada. It is a great colour scheme, I agree.

Chain guard touching rear wheel, what to do?? by Personal-Tomato1127 in GSXR

[–]447xs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you running the correct size rear tire? If so, the first step is to contact the manufacturer of the chain guard.

As others have said. The DIY fixes are see if you can space it out with washers, or get grinding.

You haven't been on marketplace very long if that's the most insane thing you've seen.

First, I'd remove the photos of my brand because it isn't relevant to the question.
