Hello. I have a 1968 suzuki cobra I am planning on selling. It needs some work but I am unsure what to ask for the bike. I would prefer to not part it out as it is too close to complete. I have more images if necessary. I have original owners manual & extra wiring harness. The only thing I can tell is missing is the oil pump cover but pump appears to function when hand operated. If anyone is interested let me know. I am in VA.
Thanks for the help.

Well......if it were restored like the one Paul Miller Motorcycles, LLC sold recently on eBay, I'd say $8,500
Shocked

Looks like a fun project... just not for me. I was wondering more about "as is" for $650, $1100, or more? I can't tell what is fair but still a good deal for someone. I have seen a lot of rusty ones and several super restorations but not much in between like this.

Cobras restored now seem to be going for some really big money. Personally, I have seen them all over the place. The low would be $5300 to a high of $12,000. Considering the shape that yours is in. I would say probably the $900 to $2500 range, because it is a project. Realisitically, if I was selling it I would not take a penny less then 2500 for it. If Paul Miller was inquiring about it the price would be a lot higher.

Thank you for all your input! I think I am going to put the bike on ebay with an $1100 reserve and see what happens. Hopefully it falls into the right hands and the bike gets restored and ridden!
