Maybe our new members can add what they think they would part for on the spot.

$2500 for my 89 GS would suit me fine as I would need that much to buy another S/H newer one.

To answer your question there is only so much you can ask for a used GS500, but I would size-up how rich and how much in a hurry the guy was and adjust my price accordingly.  For instance, my bike is worth about $1,200 in today's market to an informed and willing buyer who's doing his homework.  So if he seems like Daddy Warbucks and he wants it right now I'm asking for $2,000 and I wouldn't go more than a few hundred under, otherwise why bother selling the bike?  It might break the sale but so be it.  The richer I think he was and the bigger hurry he's in the more I'm going to stick to my asking price, praising how good the bike has been to me.  That's no lie.

OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$1700 in the present state (needs some gaskets replaced), $2,000 after she is oil leak-free.  That's for a '98.  I've owned four different bikes now, and know that the GS500 is a decent bike at a great price, but not the perfect bike for me.

Been thinking about this for a while because I've had a few peeps ask me now on both my bikes how much I would be willing to sell it for. All I could do was say that it was not for sale with a smile. BUT

I would likely sell it for the price of a (new or good condition GS) + (the labor time I put into building it in hrs  x ~$90/hr) + (price for all the parts I would need to buy again to rebuild another) + (the price for my labor to build another)

= a shetload of money

or I would trade for either one of these..

$3000 firm how it stands today.

After I'm finished with it, I'll never sell it.

Im determined to shove some weird ass motor in it, it'll be one of a kind. Once thats done, bandit rear wheel swap and gsxr forks.

tbh i wouldnt screw someone on the price. or go over new. i have a conscience. BUT that beign said, if someone were to offer me say 3k for my 97 i had, i wouldnt turn it down. i bought my second 97 in 2008? for 600 ( like my first one) repaired it. put a gixxer wedge can on it. sold it for 1000, well 800 and an 86 chevrolet c10 pickup. 2 mos later. truck is totalled i got 1600 from insurance ( theirs) guy is hardup for money, i offered 250 for it the 97. , he accepts. i walk over ride it home. sold it 6 mos later. this was with teh 14t mod.
