Guys, this 87 ZILLA was mint, been in storage since 88. The tires were original and less than 5% worn, the pipe was there and clean, plastic was PERFECT! Funny thing is, I saw it in the cycle trader this morning, and then this afternoon I saw the machine in real life at the local high perf shop. MAn, you guys would be trippin on this bike. I think it was bought for $4200. What was the price when new? The ad said he had 5 hours on it, and i believe it!

Heres the ad from the Cycletrader, with Photo...

I know what you mean when I bought mine it looked mint like that one except for the plastic was faded a little and I got mine for $3000 but that one does looke just like it came off a showroom floor the guy that bought that is prolly really happy right now.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

What kind of a Sorry S.O.B do you have to be to let a MACHINE like that sit in storage for 14yrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have woke up with "wood" more than once over the years, because of a "dream" find like that!hehehe.

5 HOURS??? Its almost ready for an overhaul and a case inspection. j/k

Those deals are what I read the classifieds for, there are other old quads like that out there.

 

damn nice, i want it, but how the hell could u store somethin that sweet though for 14 or 15 years and not ride it, man dat just aint right....that would be very very hard to do....

 

That is indeed a rare find. I bought the brother quad that bombanshee was referring to and i know how lucky i felt. i found the two quads before bombanshee and picked the 89 model because the owner said it was always a little faster of the two[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. It is now for sale though because of some recent bad luck on my part,namely running my new mustang through a barbed wire fence[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] hint hint

 

i heard a story about a guy who bout a brand new quadzilla in like 1999 i think it was maybe. it had been sitting in the basement of a dealership in its crate since it was brand new. wow what a find. i love stories of finding rare things in mint condition

 

Hey juggalo, did you get your name from ICP?

I can testify as to the quad. I was there with roost and it still has the original pipe !! It is MINT!

 

Speaking of finding quads in crates when I got mine the guy that sold it to me said back in his hometown in Alabama one of his suzuki dealers said they still had a few still in crates never been opened. Im not sure what he said they wanted for them but its prolly pretty high.
