The more sympathetically modded ones appear to be worth more.

It's guys like me that had young families etc in the 90's and couldn't afford one that are buying them.
The early ie won't be far behind, as buyers appreciate the lack of maintenance of the injection with the classic looks.

My previous preference was for classic Z1000's, and I dread to think of what I lost on them by cutting them up.

I'm playing a different game with my M900 and 900SS, in that all mods I'm doing are reversible or the standard bits are being stored.
I do actually have another M900 frame in storage which has also been chopped, and which is partly why I'm looking at developing a repair section.

I have all the original parts for mine too, but thats because I might get better money for the upgraded parts selling them separately should I decide to sell the bike!

From what I see frequently on eBay, Monster 900 variants. 93 to 02 fetch £1800 to £2800 with the odd exception and they are cheaper in winter. Imagine prices increase £500 over the next five years (approx 20%). I would think for a £100 gain a year for not making the mods was a poor decison compared to working an extra day instead?

What do you think they are worth?
