Don't know anything about these but I think it qualifies as interesting...

On ebay if you're sufficiently interested (nothing to do with me btw, I was searching for gpz1100s)... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155023703883 ... %7Ciid%3A1

On a similar theme,us Z1 owners of the 70s with wobbly handling could only dream of bikes like this one. £15k... :shock:

You'd have to really want one to spend £13K on it, they're better handling than the GPZ1100 that the engine comes from, but I think I'd rather have the GPZ, apart from just wanting to own one, I don't see any reason to buy it.
