[jaypeezy215]

Probably can't find any info because that bike doesn't exist. They didn't begin production of the gs500 until 1989.

I'm guessing that is a '90-'93.

That is because it didn't exist in '82. '89 was the first year. Is that a '92?  

I don't know off the top of my head.

I bet the seller typed 8 instead of 9, they're right next to each other you know.

Yep it's a 92.Check the GS Wiki for years and colors.

Actually they started making the GS500 in the early 80's.  Not THAT GS500, but none the less.

Are you speaking of the 4 cylinder GS550?There are no other GS500s.Check http://www.thegsresources.com/ It's in the history section.Our GS500 is a spin off of the early 4 cylinder GS 2 valve bikes.

If that's what GSR says then it's flawed.  The 4-banger GS went 400, then 425, then 450, and finally 500 in 1980...and it hung around for a whopping span to 1981.  The 550 was around through the entire baby GS history, and then some...1977 to 1987 or so.

Actually, I just checked GSR and it completely skips the 500, 425, and only references the 2-cylinder non-production 450.

That looks identical to my 1992.

700$ FOR A 1992..humm...

too bad your so far away.... would make a great 1rst bike for my wife.
oh well My search continues.

[jaypeezy215]

700 dollars is not bad at all, plus insurance is $102/yr with my AMA membership =) Its funny, my insurance company doesn't know what a gs500f is, doesnt know what a sv650s is. They quoted me for a gs500fek and a sv650kg.

I keep tabs on the ebay listings (for several years now) of the 89 to present GS and have a page with some data you might find useful.

GS500 Census

Some have said the prices are somewhat close to the dealer resources.

If it was a running 92, $700 was below the going online rate, condition of course matters though it is not considered in my data.
