Re: need help should i buy or walk away?
There are some models that have badges on, so I agree with Riturbo in saying that they look standard original. As Homer01 mentions, Turbo pipes have a slightly larger diameter hole at the end. I would certainly buy it. Plenty potential there.

Re: need help should i buy or walk away?
Oh yes. Especially turbos.
To be honest it is a bit of a chicken and egg situation. When I have work, I have a bit of spare cash but no time to get projects worked on. In lean times, no money, but plenty of time. Trouble is I can't spend money on the project as I can't justify spending it on "unneccessary" things.
I am at a stage now where I am trying not to accumulate any more bits. Space is running low as well.

This is a photo from a pre production model (used for nearly all catalog pics). You can identify this bike with the round holes in the front brake disks. Never seen this disks (with six fixing points) on the road.quazy wrote:http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Galler ... 20%202.jpg
These both have the badge. But yea i have seen some that dont. Im the noob so i dont know maybe someone who knows could let us know.
The german turbo models never have the badges on the mufflers - only the ZX 750 A - models.

Dude, you wouldn't have posted this
question unless you were looking for moral support and encouragement. You already know the answer - "YES!" Buy the damn thing already!
Haggle with this old goat. Moan about frozen rings and clogged injectors. Offer him $450, but be prepared to pay the 600, which is still a steal.
Yes, it will take a 'wee bit' of work and a dash of money to get it going. Life's that way, get over it! :razz:
Don't contact us again until it's sitting in your garage or (better yet!) living room!
