How much do early rare Japanese bikes go for nowadays?

Ok, it may (probably won't) never meet the same level of desirability, but I doubt there are few of these about.

Flagship rare early Japanese bikes go for a chunk, sandcast CB750s come to mind. They were pretty market breaking at the time too, a mid range Korean knock off of a mundane modern Japanese engine isn't quite as iconic.

They'll have some rarity / interest value. I'm not suggesting one as an investment :D

Not a lot of Firestorms get the street fighter treatment because of the side mounted radiators, it looks like that one has one of the two radiators relocated and the other removed, I bet it overheats!

I have a weird affinity for a side mount radiator. No idea why.
