I know this is a bit late but, First sorry for your loss. First question is which one? My brother in 1978 bought an SP 1000 and in 1979 I bought a Mercury Capri (fox body) at the time they were the same price (aprox 5K give or take). Some 20-30 years ago I received it as a basket case and put it back together. The big question is it the le-mans (spelling?) 850? That one is worth more. There are various sites that would estimate it’s worth. Second question is does it start? (I recall a weird folding ignition key.) there is no Kick starter so in First gear check if the pistons will move. (If it hasn’t run best to get lubricant in there.) Review the wiring because that is a weak point especially at its age. Cool shaft drive bike and as a 90 degree twin sounds like a Harley. they will defiantly will be worth more when they stop importing them.
Again sorry for your loss,
Chris
