Pics of my bike, and a quick question!

[jaypeezy215]

Hey everyone,
I never really posted pictures of my bike so here they go. My younger brothers a photography student so I let him take the pics. Its a 2005 bonestock gs500f. I'm thinking of selling it and buying 2 bikes, a GS500e and a Honda CBR F4i. I was wondering how much do you think I could get for my bike??? I'm in the Philly area. It has 6600 miles, bought it with 5k. Just had a full tuneup, and brand new back tire put on 2 weeks ago. I took a fall earlier this year, and scratched one fairing, you can see in the pictures. I really want a bigger street bike, but i've fallen in love with the gs500 series so I definetly want a gs500e as a project. Well here are pictures, I hope you enjoy! 

P.S. Shots taken after a quick wash a wax!

Nice bike.  I have the same year/color... yeah, same rash too.. but on the other side.

Maybe it's the camera, but your chain looks rusty ... You ought to oil it!

Cheers,
J

1,600 miles?  That's a weekend ride!

Stop talking to all the losers on the board and go ride the Baby G!  Come back when the odo flips 50,000.

Either you changed the paint scheme or that's an '04 you got there my '04 baby looked just like it(scratches and all)  the '05 I looked it wasn't happy with the scheme. Just thougt you'd like to know could be a typo for all I know.

hmm..my title says 2005? Whats the difference in paint scheme as far as I know my bike is 100% stock. Either way I'm still looking to sell it and buy the 2 other bikes.

2005 has white side panels not blue thats a late 04 sold as 05 I bet

here is what an 05 looks like (dont mind the damage these are old pic when I bought mine for 2500$ 2 years ago.)

2005


2004


2006

ooh ok i see. Yeah I don't know whats up with that, my title says 2005. Still, does anybody know what a good asking price would be? thanks

[frankieG]

i have the exact same bike...color and all.  a few mods, all cosmetic.  congrats and thanks for the pictures...we love pics

[pbureau69]

ooh ok i see. Yeah I don't know whats up with that, my title says 2005. Still, does anybody know what a good asking price would be? thanks

probably crashed once, and replaced with used panels

2005 with 6K.... well I just bought one a year ago with 11K I got it for 2500$ cash in hand
looking at ebay they seem to sell >3000$

[frankieG]

that sounds about right to me...spring is the best time to sell too

[jaypeezy215]

cool i'll post for around $3200 if I can let go of it  thanks for the input

[ohgood]

your first shot reminds me i need new tires. bad.

[jaypeezy215]

lol back tires brand new, maybe 2 weeks old.

[Domindart]

great pics, very vibrant shots..

[bluelespaul]

i have basically the same bike too. those pictures are great too, what kinda of camera is he using?

as far as a price goes before i started modding mine, i had it up for sale for a bit, i was asking 3200$ but probably would have went down to 2800$ if someone asked nicely haha. mine does have almost 16,000 miles on it though. really i guess it depends on whether or not you can find a buyer. good luck either way though

I bought mine in August at a Stealership for $2900. It had a fenderectomy, after market bar ends, was in immaculate shape, 5,000 miles, and low jack.

I love how they name your bike one thing and it actually is another. Isn't there a place on the bike where you can check what the year is as well? I wasn't trying to be smart or anything just trying to help. I thought each year they changed the decal scheme but usually I think that is about it that is why I got an '04 to save money. Oh, well

I'm getting a error with the insert quote thing, but to answer bluelespaul, he used a nikon d40 i believe. Thanks for the input everyone, It was 85 in Philly today, and everyone and their mothers had their bikes out. It was awesome having mines!
