Answer 1

Value is highly dependent upon condition. email me offline for more info. mshoger@sterlingfederal.com

Usually alot more than people will offer you,if they think you are uninformed and they can get something for way below market value.Since production of engine cases cast from a sand mold are expensive,labor intensive,not to mention a new mold is required for each one.Production numbers are very low,since the company is using this method,so they do not have to invest in expensive engine tooling for a model that may not sell that well and be discontinued. The first year Honda CB 750 used this method,and since this model was a hit and went on to be produced for many years,the engines went into high production.These first year bikeshave become very desireable and have continued to escalate in price,as Japenese motorcycles have become the dominate segment in the motorcycle collecters market over the last 15 to 20 years.Higher prices will be paid by serious collectors in Japan,that desire models that were produced in Japan and only sold in the U.S.---even odd parts are wanted as the supply of N.O.S parts disappear from dealerships and warehouses. Condition is important,but collectors will go to great lengths to restore poor examples.Reaserch,e-bay,and enjoy profits.!!! The ToeCutter
