Hi
Value will be contingent on three things - general condition, originality and KMs. The market for these bikes is now primarily with either the "collector" or "nostalgia" brigade.
General condition - platics condition (scratches and chips), any visible fading of plastics, indicators or alloy corrosion, is the wiring loom fiull of horrible red connectors, what does the chain look like, are the wheels pitted, what does the inside of the tank look like, does the petrrol tap and the carbs have fuel stains on them, original airbox etc I'd also suggest that the red and blue coloured bikes are more popular than the green.
Originality - from what I can see from the photos you have a 4-1 exhaust and the script on the side panels looks wrong, and there are decals that seem to be missing - has it been resprayed?
KMs - of course the lower the KMs the better the price. Also if you have some record of servicing that would help. And is the engine quiet and what does the cam chain sound like.
Also Australians seem to like Oz delivered bikes over imports but that seems to be declining in importance.
A good GPZ900 (I'll get slaughtered for this) will bring between $3k- $4K. So if you have crosses against the notes above start taking off $ from there. Based on what I can see I would be saying $2K- $2.5K would see it on it's way.
