agree it makes no sense to part out that RZ
low mileage examples are very rare these days, especially in NA
not sure if 9K is reasonable, likely not as it's 2 - 3x what the bike cost new
but someone will pay that

If I had alot more money to burn, I would. I haven't seen one in that condition in a long time. A serious collector would at least attempt negotiations, however considering his starting price I'm out.

I don't think he actually expects to part it out, probably somehow dodging future curbsiding charges
 
Depending on Cost of Fairings & Whatever other parts it may need, This may be a Decent Deal:
2008 CBR 125R with 25k for $500 in Niagara Falls: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes...25/1334811910?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
if it Can be done for $650 then it would match the Asking price of the Next Cheapest CBR 125R Listed on Kijiji Through Ontario:
2008 with 23.3k for $1150 up Towards Ottawa: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes...-r/1335335119?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
2007 with 9.5k, almost 9.6 also for $1150 & also up towards Ottawa: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes...ke/1336289289?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
$45 more to get one in Toronto, 2007 with just over 19.7k for $1195: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-street-crui...er/1333252470?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

$3000 for a rz350 motor??? WTF??? There are tonnes banshee's listed everyday in the classifieds, a motor could be had for less than 1k... how is that motor much different than an rz350?

That guys is ****ing dreaming with his RZ. Its worth about $3500 whole.

The Banshee motor is the same as the 350LC motor. They even run the same CDI.

The RZ350 can be mated with a Banshee head easily. Guys in the UK do it all the time. And make RZ427cc YPVS which are stupid fun.

Not saying it's reasonable or not, I just had to share it. I want this soooo bad. I just can't imagine me handing Chifor 9 grand for anything.

I have a friend restoring an RZ and Chifor's used parts generally cost more than new. And allmost all parts are still available from Yamaha.

I would also have second thoughts about dealing with him because of this...

i also looked looked at that RZ when the previous owner posted it on kijiji. He was looking $2900 for it but I was too late making up my mind and lost it.

Low mileage unmolested YPVS bikes are very rare in NA

tons in the UK and some guys that are very handy and upgrading them

lots of people will be willing to give that guy 9K

at $2,900 I'd buy all of them
and sell for at least double that easy

putting a non YPVS engine in an original bike like that
reduces it's value

Wait - this guy bought it for around 3k and is now re-listing it for 3 times that and willing to part out? I hate kijiji/craigslist campers like that...

Nope. the engines are similar, but they are not the same. maybe the cdi are the same, but there are a host of differences between the engines.

transmission ratios are different
different exhaust mounting-spigots vs flange
rad hoses are mounted at different angles
banshee cases do not have the tach drive the rz350 cases have
stators are different
if you are using banshee cylinders you will find the rz350 head- head coolant passages don't align up together.
and as mentioned, the lack of power valves on the banshee along with a different power delivery.


the engines are similar, but they are not the same.

The Banshee and the RZ motors share many of the same components.

The Crankcases are almost the same – the Banshee cases from 1993 on are actually a little better as there is slightly more metal where the crank case halves join at the front and also around the crank but are interchangeable. If you were doing a +7 or +10 stroke its better for trenching the cases for the crank shaft. You can still buy them, and they are cheap. I bought a brand-new set just after christmas and they were only $500 including the dampers and damper spacers already pressed in.

The crank, clutch, primary, etc. are the same

The transmission has some slight ratio differences and you can make a really nice transmission using the Banshee 1st gear pinion and output shaft, with the rest of the ratios from the RZ350. That’s what I have in my track bike.

There is no oil pump on the Banshee and the mechanical tach cable hole is cast shut on later crankcases instead of just a rubber plug

The big differences are the cylinders and head as there are no powervalves, different exhaust mounts and the cooling/rad outputs don’t line up very well, and the stator coils and output is different

The Banshee cylinders are actually quite good for a track bike as there is a lot of meat for porting and if the engine spends its life above 6 or 7k you don’t really need powervalves anyway

When I order parts that are the same I generally order the OEM Banshee version as they tend to be cheaper than the RZ ones, although they are the same part. Go figure.

I think $2900 was a steal for that blue RZ. $9000 is just stupid, although there is one born every minute. I would think around $4000-4500 would be reasonable
 
I think you're right, good observation
no one ever writes the bike model with a comma
but this guy does, Vstrom 1,000
which makes it look like the price
but it's not
there is no price listed
