Been Around the Block
So I have a new friend. He loves strokers. He has 12 of them. Suzuki's (RGVs), Yamahas (RZs, RDs, TZRs)... and he will sell me 2 identical '85 RZ350Rs (not assembled but all parts there) and a '90 RZ350 (complete but fairings off) for about 5K.
Good deal?
He is a restorer of these bikes and incredibly knowledgeable. He also knows my goal would be 3 complete RZs. I love them, and had a brand new '89 stolen from me in '91. Very sad. The '90 he has is the identical Blue and Yellow that I had (different VIN!)
The two '85s are in very very good condition, tanks are dent free, they have full fairings included, all parts and he will help me where I need it. He only lives ten minutes from me.
Any thoughts? 5K is a lot for older bikes, but RZs were never ordinary bikes. I suspect I could restore one '85 and sell it for much of what I have paid for all three. If I buy it, I will never part with the '90 as I have been looking for a good one since mine was stolen. The '90 has about 15K on the odometer.
What are these bikes worth restored?
