Default Q about a 1996 ZX750N1

A guy I know has a 96 ZX7-RR (ZX750N1) that he has offered to sell me. It is very clean with 12,000 miles, Muzzy limited edition badge on the tank, flat-slide carbs, Akro exhaust, spare fuel tank and other odds and ends. He wants $7,000. I looked up NADA and average retail is $3,760. He tired to tell me that NADA is off because most people do not know the difference between a ZX7-RR and a ZX7-R and so when they are sold they get reported wrong.
Does this sound right to anyone? For some reason it does not to me. Thanks.

You said that you have flatslides, hold a magnet to the tank. RR's are aluminum tanks with flatslide carbs. This is if my memory serves me correct.

Then $7k is too much for that RR in my book.

NADA will tell you that a 1990RC30 is ~ $4500 high retail.Reality tells me that a clean RC30 will get you an easy $15k and one that's clean titled but with some damage will still get the better part of $10 large.NADA needs to be taken with a big grain of salt.Other bikes like GB500's go for 4 times what they claim they're worth but there's no way for them to really track the value of a collectable bike.
Rare bikes are worth whatever someone is willing to spend or whatever someone will take for one.There aren't enough clean 7RR's out there to really say this is one valued too high as if you really wanted one for a collection of WSB homologation models,how many others do you know of for sale right now? The 91-94 7R and 7RR have for whatever reason never been as collectable as the Hondas I mentioned,but to someone with deep pockets and a love of green,it'd probably be worth $7k.If I had one, I wouldn't take that much for it...but I'd find it hard to justify spending the money on it and then leaving it as stock and unblemished as possible,especially since my own 7R is a hideous rat that's been thrown down the track a few times
