Are the 1000's worth more than the 1100's, is more also because its got the spoked wheels?
82 Katana 1000 (work in progress, but she will be beautiful she has a dedicated sugar daddy)
2010 Z1000 (50k miles, I think that is like 60 Kilometer's or so)

1000's are valued more than 1100 because they were developed for racing against CB1000 in the early 80's class which was just before the Grand Prix series started . Very limited numbers.
However this is only for UK and Australian bikes because the carbs are 'slide' carbs NOT US models though over time folklore has clouded the waters a bit.
The spoke wheels on this one are an aftermarket addition but in 1982 the Austrialians fitted them for a model known as the SXZ.

as above the 1000 was a 'homologation special' which allowed them to use certain parts for the Superbike racing, etc of the day.......
