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

    I can grab some yep. That's kind of what I was thinking it would be worth.

    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.

    Think screen is somewhere around. And seems to be in relatively good nick for its age. Just not sure what to do with it really.

    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.
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...

    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

    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
