It's a balance Paul. Conventional wisdom is that it is better value to buy one already in good condition. I'd consider anything within reason. It's the old money/time equation I guess. Do you have something in mind?
cheers Jonathan

Ah Paul, the piece of string question.....
I can see the high prices on ebay but I also hear the stories of people waiting and getting a 'snip' with patience. I really don't want to be one of those responsible for pushing prices up; I think these should be used not stored because of their value.
If a valueless mark II came up at £1500 because there was some major flaw(non-originality/crashed previously/import from Nigeria/I don't know??)I would be quite happy with that provided it looked right. It is the bike that I want not it's value. I would be quite happy to pass on the £1500 bike for £1500 if that is what it was worth. Does that make sense?
Nitty-gritty: Right now I have £3k cash. If the right bike came along I could find more. How much do I need? 6k?8k?

£3k should get you quite a lot of Mkll, you just need to be patient, which is easily said I know.

Ah, she's sold Garry. Boats have to be classics as well as motorbikes, it's the only way!

Is it the style of bike that interests you?
In other words do you prefer the mk2 shape to the z1/z900 shape?
If so you could think about this.
Get a 1000ST and convert it to chain drive.
works out a lot cheaper than a mk2 would.
Good idea

Hi Oldzed
It is absolutely the style that matters most. That's a good suggestion. In fact it's not even the drive that's the issue. Is it only the tank that's different bodyworkwise? Maybe a mkII tank on an ST would work? Anyone else done that?
I guess we've both been to Nigeria Jimmock!

No they are different but anything can be made to fit (may look a bit of a dogs breakfast
)
There are threads on here with the st chain conversion.
I think you will be looking at north of £4k now for what you want unless you stumble across something.
Why not get a 1000j put your mark on it and enjoy!?
