<EDITED, I hope for the last time>
I have been keeping stats on eBay listings of USA GS 500s since April 3, 2005.

There have been 117 listings since 03 April 2005. Some are listed multiple times before a sale.

Here's the question(s): <Excluding 2003>Which year bike has the most listings; the least listings?

Tolerance: none - you must choose/guess the correct years.

The results will be posted Saturday. The winner will have bean counter/accountant bragging rights until the next post of a similar question based on my collected data. (That and $5 will get you lunch and change back at any Taco Bell.) I will provide the years and the number of bikes/year/listing in the post.

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

LIFE should NOT be a journey to the GRAVE with the intention of arriving SAFELY in an attractive and well PRESERVED body, but rather to SKID in sideways, CIGAR in one hand, favorite beverage in the other, body thoroughly USED UP, totally WORN OUT, and screaming WOW - WHAT A RIDE!

Most - 1991 ... I think GS production peaked in 91.
Least 2003 - Ha ha obvious isn't it ... no GS in 03.
OK fine if the bike must exist ... then 2000. I think the nadir was 2000.
Cool.

Srinath took my answer.  

See, you guys thought I was just a dolt.  

Was I just lucky?  Or was it an educated guess?

I'll never tell.

But I did sneak 1991 and 2003 in there first.  SO, HA!!!!

I didn't take your answer ... well I concurred with you ...  :mrgreen: I stand the risk of being called a copy cat if we are right, and being stupid (doubly so) if wrong ...  :x  ... so like lose a little or lose a lot scene ...

Ok, I see my error  :oops:

EXCLUDING 2003  pick the least/most years.

To choose an new least year on a previous post, just edit it.
