Whats a mint GK76 worth?

Post by vic6169 » Fri Aug 08, 2014 8:35 am

I have just finished restoring a mint blue/white GK76. Everything has been done and 100% original.
The bike is as near to concourse/showroom as possible.
I have decided to let her go as i have three other bikes of which i am concentrating on a two stroke project.
The question is what do you guys think it is worth?
Its a 1990 GSXR400R in the RGV blue/white M colours.
Mint near concourse condition. Everything new. Wheel bearings, swinging arm & suspension needle roller bearings, sterring head bearings, Fork seals and oil, every bracket powder coated. All orignal bolts used. Even standard genuine indicators etc. New cables. New screen, Carbs stripped, ultrasonically cleaned and balanced perfectly. Runs a dream.
Not much history. Couple of MOT's and two genuine japanese full servcie manauls.
Whats your £ thoughs??
Cheers
Vic

It's always a hard call they don't seem to fetch as much as other 400's. Could do with a few more pics really but if it's as good as you say it is I think you might get £1800-£2000 max.

Looks nice. Did you replace the o rings and seals when you took the carbs out? Did you keep receipts of all the parts you bought?

I had one fifteen years ago and it was a nightmare. Seemed to waft along at half power although it did rev out. Eventually! I always vowed I would never get another. But the prices seem to be half that of the Hondas at the moment, which makes them tempting if you know the carbs have had more than just a balance and clean.

Hi
I fully stripped the carbs abd also had a spare second set.
The bike did run fine before so I inspected every o ring and all looked good. The carbs were ultrasonically cleaned and set up and put back together.
She starts and runs a dream.
I then balanced the carbs and now she purrs!

She is also up for sale now as I have another project I am doing. Not sure if i'm allowed to mention she is on an auction site?
Cheers
Vic
