what is an 82 1100 kat worth?

[Mojoe]

when katman05 came down to meet me to go riding, he told me there was an old school kat 1100 for sale just up the road from me. i went and looked at it today and it is in pretty sweet condition. it looks to be 100% stock and original except for a 4-1 exhaust. the asking price is $3300 CDN, but for sure $3k would take it....possibly $2800. I know this is a good deal....but was just wondering if anyone knew roughly what collectors would pay for one. if i buy it, i plan on keeping it for myself, but just curious of the value. 82 is the first year for them, so that alone must have to make it worth a bit more...no?

Blue book:

82 GS1000S Katana 1790USD Retail,
1175 USD trade in..

83 (first year for 1100 in us I guess)
940 usd!! trade in!! 1460 retail!! WOW
Is that because the 83 hasn't hit "classic" staus yet??

I don't think blue book would apply to this. collectors will pay more...alot more that $940 for sure.

Mojoe, do I get a finders fee comission?

[Crackshot]

If you ask me, It's worth 30 million dollars. But, uh, I really don't know anything about motorcycles.

Definately would like to see pics though.

I've seen pristine 80-82 katanas go for anywhere between $2500-5500USD

I am looking forward to pics...price is a LITTLE high...but not by much for a stock bike.

$2800.00 would be a good price, I would pay that if I sold my Kat first...you want it?
