    Hello everyone,



    Posting this for my riding partner with limited computer skills- Hope that is OK.



    He is the original owner of this 1983 XJ900rk - purchased new.



    He has multiple motorcycles and has been thinning some of them out. Thinking of selling this if there is any interest.



    It has about 33K miles and is in ORIGINAL condition- It has never been apart- it is currently registered in Calif and insured- it is ridden occasonally – we just installed new battery and rebuilt the carbs- starts instantly and runs great. It is in very good condition- not perfect as it is ridden.

    Can be ridden home- no trailer needed

    Maybe someone could let us know what it might be worth- He would like it to go to someone that knows what it is and would not cut it up.

    Located in North Tustin, CA

    Sorry, i don't have enough post to attach pictures


    Thanks Tom

    Very nice, rear shocks have been replaced. the sidecover badge looks nice still gold

    pricing is not my area. . The pricing is what someone wants to pay for it and different around the country.

    That looks lovely...and probably worth...North of 3K, honestly.....even if its NOT 100% 'original' (rear shocks)!

    But its worth whatever your mate can get for it....or wants to accept, lol !!

    I have original RK shocks mint condition I'll trade for those.
    The original shocks look cool but your Progressive shocks I would consider an upgrade
