Purely out of curiosity...what would this bike be worth today? If it were not in "Mint" condition anymore. Anyone here have any clue?

Depends on what you mean by not mint?
A CB1100RB with low miles original fairing and tank/seat etc 10-15g possible on a good day. Ex race bike with out a known history half that.
A CB900f with the 1100R tank/seat etc not much but a good post classic racer.

Not sure how "not mint" it is as I havnt seen it in the flesh but it is that bike pictured. Was raced by Vince Sharpe.

Have seen them advertised a few times from about 15-20 grand.

Haven't seen one sell for that price though.

My three dream bikes that I intend to eventually have in my collection are the WW Katana, the CB1100R and the Eddie Lawson Replica.

I'm a third of the way there.

Suspect the asking price is way off, in the end it's only worth what some one's prepared to pay.
If it's an ex Honda Britain HRC CB1100r raced by Joey D that's a whole different matter.

My own personal feeling is a historic ex race bike from a well known rider is worth more than a stock road bike. You can make a road bike mint by throwing money at it, but you can't buy race history, especially with a limited edition "superbike" like the CB1100R which aren't exactly falling outta the trees. I don't know what it's going for but realistically what does $15k buy you these days that isn't gonna be worth 2/3'rds of that in 3 years time? If you like cool old bikes it's a no-brainer to me, why would you buy a retro fake? Why not enjoy the real thing?

But it's something you either get or you don't. Just like an old Mustang makes no sense in comparison to a new one, they don't stop, go, handle or comfort you like a new one.....but that 40 year old classic experience still puts a smile on your face.

Yehar...! While "sanitised" maybe fast, it's always fun to make the original squeal (or the original make you squeal!!).

Reintroduced models.....Same Same but different. Never quite have the aura I reckon.

and the Eddie Lawson Replica.

.

Especially the genuine KZ1000S1! A true Lawson replica. It's a lotto bike for me. But expect to pay serious dollars for one as they made so few... PHWOAR!

I know it's probably sacrilege to say so but I actually prefer the R version.

Those brakes on the S look so.......agricultural.

There was a super tidy R on Trademe about 6 years ago with a buy now of 8 grand.

I'm kicking myself now that I didn't just hit the buy now and worry about the consequences later.

I just got a tidy number for my one and it was the first 1100r to win a race in NZ but I had to spend a lot of time and money on it, The thing I found is that those that want one had one and they have a very limited market. There are a few for sale in NZ at the moment some people are asking too much for mint bikes that have had all the right things done to them and other want too much for bikes that still need a lot spending on them, The Vince Sharp one has 2 major issues that without spending a lot of time and money on won't be found out till after purchasing it, there are about 4 maybe 5 available in NZ for sale at the moment, if you know where to look.

Sorry I just found this old post,I've owned one of these it was an ex race bike when it came time to sell it I got 15k aussie nobody in NZ really wanted it a lot of dreamers ,Now I miss it every day it did have original pipes and no damage but had not been restored. This bike in the picture sold for 8k last year I know what sort of condition it was in and somebody paid a little to much for it.

You don't pay too much for good/true classic bikes....you just bought it a bit too soon:laugh:

The Big One - nice! My boss brought one back from Japan in the 90's. Only 5000-odd km on the clock, full yoshi system, braided lines etc for 7 grand. Great looking bike with equally great performance.

Thanks, She runs like new, but am hanging out for some Ohlins shocks to allow me to run a tad more pace in the tighter stuff
