    Not much. It is an interesting styling exercise with no improvements evident in handling or power. Other than that, if it has a clean title it is worth $1 per cc.

    What Ken said. Maybe $1000 if you’ve had a few beers and you’re feeling like adding more clutter to your garage.

    An original version would be worth much more.

    I like it, but an original example would be more valuable. Take it to Barber vintage festival and you'll get three times it's actual worth.

    Saw it for sale locally for 1200 and thought it looked cool but it's clearly no bargain

    Heavy. Slow. Technically bland. But, built by Honda and it will be around awhile. If you want a $1,000 project bike, I, and I'm sure a lot of folks on here, can help you out . . . .

    Cheers,

    Dave

    On that note, make me an offer I can't refuse on an alazzurra project. I'll pick it up the next time I head to my cabin.

    Sabre699 Wait...hold my beer.

    Cool little cafe build. 8 or 9 hundred would seem a fair price.
    Rust-oleum high heat black is cheap. That collector can looks like crap.

    Past Glory I still have several AVON calendars from the 90's

    Gotta have some patina.

    I rode one probably in 1992 in the backwoods of Allegan county Mi. on a gravel road with wheelie bars felt faster than my 550 seca.
