Picture?
Short answer, unless you find someone who is into this model/style, value is likely to be $500-1000 in my view.

I was planning on turning it into a cafe/street fighter style. But the cost wouldn't be worth it I guess

So GSX750E and you also mentioned fairings. So that would make it an ES or EF me thinks.

Basically it was a decent UJM of the era in my view.
Once you go down the cafe racer path you're losing money, but if you're planning on keeping it that might work for you.

I was wrong about when last on the road. Wof ran out October last year. It's just had a whole bunch of new parts thrown at it as well.
Not sure this really affects the value in anyway?

The Rego is on hold, so it might be worth more. Worse bikes out there with bigger price tags ...

Get a WOF for it if you're serious ... or even a WOF check. You can then say what it needs/cost to get it roadworthy.

No harm advertising it on here when you're all sorted. If it's all good to go the value is better and likelihood of selling improves.

Unless you want the fun of Facebook marketplace or whatever it's called :facepalm::laugh:

few people if any will want that bike for it's model, if they do they're likely to chase an esd with a brighter colour scheme so the value will be for someone who simply wants an affordable bike in my opinion

In a normal market I'd put a grand reserve on it and let it sees where that takes you, you might be surprised. Might not be a normal market at present. Nothing wrong with them if you sidestep the period Suzuki charging issues and tank silting with a careful tank lining and Regulator off something else. Almost bought one back in the day but ended up with an older Kat.
