I've been getting into jetskis so the ZB has taken a back seat. I didn't even get it out of the basement this year. I'm thinking of selling it to help finance a home renovation project. I know I'll kick my self later.

I haven't been following ZB sale trends for over a year. What do you guys think I should ask for it?

It shows around 1400 miles on the speedo. I put roughly 300 miles on it since I bought it. All electricals work. Everything.

---A quick list of mods---

loncin 125 w/4 speed manual tranny

22mm Mikuni carb

MBUK front and rear huggers

MBUK larger diameter head pipe

Kitaco canister

Newer 17/31 sprockets and 420 chain.

Beefed up swingarm

shorty turn signals

relocated battery box (under the gas tank where the stock air filter was)

Runs like a top always. GPS'ed at 69.5mph downhill. She is much more relaxed running around 55mph though. Comes with transferrable NY registration (same thing as a title.) NY doesn't title "limited use vehicles" like mopeds & jetskis.

The bad things...

speedo cable broke last fall.
Small ding in gas tank. About the size of a dime
Tear in seat cover on the side. About the size of a pinky finger nail.

thanks tmas! I wish I had 4 or 5 like you do! Then this wouldn't be such a tough decision.

I've got a bunch of money in it but really don't know what a fair price to ask would be. I checked ebay and didnt see any current or past ZB sales.

$1800 -$2000?

I picked up a couple low budget seadoos in february. A 94 GTS and a 95 SP. Both have the small 587cc engines. My 1st PWCs. I had to rebuild the GTS engine and now need to rebuild the carbs on each pwc.



They're fun but after only 10 hours or ride time I realize I need a faster one! So, I picked up a 98 seadoo GSX limited with the 951cc engine. This one is supposed to go 60mph+.



Since I really don't know what a fair price to ask for the ZB is... I'm going to put it on ebay. That's the only way to make sure it sells for what it's worth. I'll post up a link when I get it listed.

If you looked at the picture you could obviously tell that it is a 2x6 not a 2x4

And if you use the clues given to you in the picture itself, you'll find that it is a 2X8...

I'm starting to doubt your carpenting skills, as I was talking about this 2x4. I don't need a 2x8 to ride up stairs
