Kawa GT750 advice needed

[Brandnobs]

I've been away from bikes for a good few years myself after flogging my Triumph, however my 81 year old father in law (he now has alzheimers so lost his licence) has a bike to sell and I'm wondering what a good price should be for it considering its age and condition. Is it something still desired, or should it be broken, or for a custom project?

It will still be desirable especially if its in good nick- old bikes like that are getting well sort after and trendy again, people did own and enjoy and even some younger generations think nothing better than original , just like vinyls which have grown back in popularity again.

i bought a 2005 Daytona before and now I’m on a carb Suzuki just because it ticked every box, I liked it and it was a mint 4thou mile bike even though other people wouldn’t want it, so no reason why someone wouldn’t want a older with more rose tint aspect.
 If its good It would be a crime to do owt other than recommission it, get it running and looking good again but that be my thought on it.

I'd say get whatever you can for it, it's not going to worth a great deal, especially if off the road and not being used.

The GT750’s were a good dependable bike in their time. Shaft drive bullet proof engines ( I know I’m biased as I had 2) but if it’s not been used for a while that will probably have a detrimental effect on it.

best thing is to look at selling sites and see if there are any for sale and what prices they are fetching, but don’t expect much.
