Not worth $1k for an unfinished home brew project bike. Saw it and passed on it. Fully put together running bikes pop up for $1k to $1.5k.
"F" models $2k to $2.5k.  Some over $3k - they're out of their mind but they are getting their price  :cookoo:

Here's one in my area. I think this seller might be one of us. I recall someone there asking for some wheels - could have been someone else on the island

1991 Suzuki GS500 - $900 (Whidbey Island)

Reply to: vzmn6-2928219000@sale.craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]
I've got a clean running 1991 GS500. Currently has clubman bars, I can switch the original bars back if you prefer and if I still have them. This bike is ready to go! Take her (Gesebel) home today.

I have made a few upgrades:
-Clubman bars
-Progressive Springs (front tubes. Handling and suspension improved beyond compare from stock springs)
-Fork Seals replaced ~end of August
-15w fork oil~ end of August
-2007 GS500 tank. (Slightly different tank, but it bolts right on. As a result, the paint doesn't match. The tank has original Suzuki paint in great condition.)
-Emgo bar end mirrors
-New Clutch! Installed at the end of last riding season (~August)
-rear brake pads installed ~end of August.
-new chain ~end of August
-new fuel lines~ end of August
-inline fuel filter- with new tank it is no longer needed, but I liked having it so I put a new, clean one on it.

This is a great, very forgiving, starter bike that you wont outgrow in a month. Good for the new rider or the experienced rider that wants a fun 500. Not the prettiest, but for a 20+ year old bike, it's not too bad.

Front and rear disk breaks.

Test rides for those with endorsements or learner's permits, and cash in hand. Has current tabs. I'll deliver within a reasonable distance if the weather is nice and gas is compensated for my lift home... Or you can RIDE IT HOME!

I also have an extra petcock.

I've built this bike to be pseudo cafe racer, but I now have a cafe racer candidate in my garage and need funding for that build.

I don't allow strangers from craigslist over to my house. Too much there that I don't want stolen, and there're a lotta weirdoes out there! ;-)

Clean title in hand.

Make me an offer! Highest offer in a week gets it.

KeyWords: Suzuki, GS500, GS 500, GS500E, GS 500 E, street fighter, starter bike, cheap, dependable, fun

Reply to: wmmb5-2947705727@sale.craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]
I have for sale a 1994 suzuki gs500e. Brand new tires, carbs cleaned, new plugs, new timing belt, very fun to ride, 7693 miles, great pickup, perfect bike if your just starting out and you dont want something rediculously heavy to handle. I also am including a suzuki tank bag with the deal holds all your paperwork and I use it everytime I ride to hold all my misc. gear. Clean title, never been dropped, and I removed original stickers that were on the bike that were pretty unsightly, and removed front glass shield so it looks like a fast street bike. It's purple in color with white rims. Nice bike, im only selling because I want a sailboat. Willing to make trades to, let me know what you got.

Liam

Either LIAM is a code or someone names Liam sells lots of bikes in this area.

never been dropped - yea - right. I wonder what bent the brake lever? The wind?

Crazy thing is, my husband wanted to look at it a month ago, now the ad is up again with pics, before it wasn't. So my husband contacted him a week ago, and no response.

Some of those posted are stupidly overpriced.. A raced 95 w/14k, that someone stopped half way through a valve job for $1400? no thanks!

I'd take something like this:

$100 for the lot, pull some need parts from it, and flip the rest

I really don't want to let this one go but I just bought a home and have to make big sacrifices. I purchased this bike from the original owner who purchased it brand new in 1979. I kept this bike in his garage for over 30 years and only put 3K miles on it. I purchased it a few years back and have added another 1500 miles to it when the sun was out. Right now it has less than 6K on it and is in perfect working condition. It has an electric start & a kick start which I though added that vintage look to it. There is nothing wrong with the bike mechanically and very little cosmetically. Other than a little where & tear from being 30 years old, this bike is in GREAT condition.

Hate to let it go but I need the money. . .

QuoteHello,

Thank you for your interest in purchased my 2006 suzuki gsx-r 600. I am selling this vehicle because I am in the military and my unit will be sent back to Afghanistan. Also, this bike way to powerful for my son and i don`t want to risk his life, so there's no use on keeping it.
The price is low because I need to sell it before May, 1`st . The bike is in pristine condition, no accident history, clear title, no dents or dings and no scratches. Always adult driven and garaged, never abused or raced. If you are interested, it's still available for sale and the price, as stated in the ad, is $2500
The vehicle is in Fort Belvoir, VA and in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping charges to your location.

Let me know if you are interested, email back.

2006 Suzuki GSX-R GSX-R 600
Mileage:  12,500 miles

Title: Re: Craigslist Finds
Post by: gsatterw on April 18, 2012, 10:45:38 AM
I donno. $900 seems decent with all the extras. Pretty pricey exhaust. It shouldn't be too terribly hard to fix the starting problem. I'd offer $750 and go from there.
Title: Re: Craigslist Finds
Post by: Ridetilempty93 on April 18, 2012, 10:53:56 AM
The only extra I would want would be the cover. The rest I have.  :cookoo:

And the VH exhaust is looking pretty old. And new tires are $200. And I'm going to bet it needs new brake lines. Nada value for this is $535 in good condition. I guess $600 might be a little low though..

Starter motor is easy to replace as long as it isn't the starter gears & clutch. Could be just the starter relay or broken clutch switch (both of which would prevent it from starting). If motor spins then more serious. If starter motor does not spin - don't let on if you notice it is just the clutch switch. If clutch switch OK, you will hear the starter relay click. if no click - probably easy fix of either switch, relay or maybe even the starter button.

I like that color. If the tank is decent and relatively rust free, I might swap for it as I have the tails and belly pan that match along with a custom painted Gimbel solo seat with the same red and silver lines.

$750 would seem about right. Lots of the plastic bits are really sun faded.

Neat for a collection, but when there is newer stuff for the same price that is 150lbs lighter that doesn't have peanut butter cams you would have to be a collector to buy it.

never one for older bikes as too many cruisers are quite ugly and too V shaped.
or the seat is just flat and straight back.

also "Most" but not all just dont look right without a V twin.

Dunno, that sucker pulls it All off in my eyes!

even the handlebars as im mostly only a fan of drag bars too!

Okay talked to the kid that owns this bike. He said a neighbor took the bike for a joy ride and crashed the bike. Front parts...forks, etc destroyed and the bike doesn't run! I explained to him that he's not gonna get what he's asking. He went down to $1000 then just now text me, $850 but will take $650. Shouldn't that title say salvaged?

Title would be clear unless an insurance  company took it. If you crash your bike and sell it, the title is still  clean. Even if it burns up (too soon?) it would be a clean title unless an insurance  company took it and paid you for it. Never would be "salvage" or anything like that unless some entity files paperwork with the state to that regards.

Talk to the kid's parents. 15 years old, has a crashed bike and now wants to buy a truck?

Like that $700 one in my area is probably stolen or a scam.

Not only that, but I'm wondering exactly when those pics were taken. Says he's got a Vance & Hines exhaust on it now, but it's not pictured. I would guess the pics were taken a year or two ago, right after the new paint job...wonder how it really looks today.

Custom paint? Automatically deduct $700-1000 from the bike. Doesn't really matter...custom painted bike = less valuable than original factory paint. I'd be willing to bet, judging by the finish, that it was indeed sprayed on from a can. That doesn't mean that it doesn't look good...it just means that you can't ask as much as a bike that's in identical condition with original paint. Sorry, that's how it goes.

$700 to $1000 off of what is at most a $2000 bike?  That's a little much even for a rattle can paint job.  If the new paint is done with real automotive paint instead of a can, I don't see why it would reduce the value much at all.

I had the opposite experience with an '04 GSXR750 we flipped last year.  Tried selling it for months with no hits, gave it a cool 2 tone custom paint job and it sold in 2 weeks.  I didn't re-coop the cost of the paint job in the sale though because w used expensive paint.

And while were on the subject of flipping, anyone in this area have any interest in an '01 SV650F with 16k miles??   ;)

Half fairing = SV650S, no fairing = SV650N, and they made factory lowers which made it a full fairing model. The "F" designation didn't come out until a little later.

Well it's a GSXR first off, and the kind of people that are into those bikes normally like flashy stuff. All bets are off with GSXRs unless it's a flat-black paint job or rhinoliner. Even then, you might find someone who would pay more for that kind of paintjob.  :dunno_black:

My bad.  Like I said before, I'm not an SV person despite having a personal use one.  This one has the upper and lower fairing but I'm removing the lower and selling it separately.  I thought the first gen fairings were pretty hideous, the second gen look ok to me.  I do like the tubular frame look better though.

I'm the same way with the fairings, I Also like the tubular frame, but at the same time I want one with fuel injection, and I think they switched both at the same time.
Title: Re: Craigslist Finds
Post by: BaltimoreGS on May 28, 2012, 06:37:33 AM
Yep, fuel injection came with the body style change.  My personal use SV is an '06 naked and the frame definitely is not as attractive.  The SV carbs didn't have any inherit problems so don't shy away from first gens just because of that.

Is it just me or does something not look quite right...compare the angle of the tank to the rest of the bike...could be that thing on the ridge of the tank making it look that way but I don't know.


Also, an 04 with 240 miles? Uhhhh...bad news for sure. Not riding a bike is the absolute worst thing you could do to it. Unless it had never been run before and just recently had 240 miles put on it, be prepared to replace a LOT of stuff on it, mainly the rubber lines...might be that the tank is rusted too.

The fact that the tank protector decal is crooked accents the lean, I think. You can see how the decal is tilted further to the right and slightly off center ( the top of the decal is closer to the right than the left).

We picked up the SV to flip yesterday.  It has had ugly rear turn signals drilled into the tail fairing but over all it looks nice and runs good.  Who wants an SV???   ;)

Toss it up on the Wilkes Barre / Scranton listings.
Im sure you'll have some bites.
As I've seen more Looking for SV postings then anything else in the general area on craigs.

Prices are pretty Crazy to put it lightly up here compared to everywhere else. (north east Pa)
Local riders I ride with have shown me listings they've been following from everywhere close but out of the area (NY & NJ mostly) and the prices are FARRRRRRRRRR below what you see here.

Which is why after I bondo my tank better (few small imperfections) and repaint it, among other things, going to list it for sale.

and go with a price everyone has told me to list it as.

Which will seem a Little absurd to these forums, but its about what I was offered before and what everyone keeps telling me to ask for.

So lay off the bashing when you all see it listed in a week or 2 or 3.
Its not like im being ignorant about it like most.

Just going to start out with what im told to start out asking for.

(edit)
and its too bad you didnt get and list that in like a month from now if mine sells for what im going to start asking for.
As im going to start looking at an SV first to upgrade to.

and of course, if u wanna bring it up and trade for mine and every single GS part I have, I wouldnt argue. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

on the SV topic tho.
If I have a choice, that bike if its still there( balts) (when the buyer of mine gets the money together in a few weeks) or one exactly the same (& blue) will be my next bike.

only going with a 99 to 02 tho, I like how rounded everything is those years.
not many colors I like on them either except the blue, but I did see a red one somewhere that l liked.

Let's see: buy for $1300. Sell clip-ons, Raask rear set, Yoshi exhaust. Replace with stock parts I have and re-sell for $1700. Seems like about a $800-$1000 profit when all done with it.

How much would you offer this guy for that bike?  I know the fender melting is caused by hot headers.  Does that just mean loose exhaust gaskets that were run too long?  What else can cause this?  Things to look for when you see this has happened?

Wow. Just wow. If this doesn't scream SPAMMER, I don't know what does.

This thread is for great deals, not to hawk your bike that's listed for sale already (in both the general and for sale areas). Besides, your gs isn't what I'd consider a great Craigslist find, merely an average one. Sorry to be so blunt.

I guess i'm the noob with the bike. I bought it already dropped and fixed it. Everything is the way it should be and the forks were rebuilt by adidasguy. I just need a good gas car to haul around music equipment from show to show now. Can't fit much on the bike.

I was given this bike in pieces. The previous guy pulled it all the way apart to change the crank shaft bearings, and lost interest. It sat in his garage for years, but luckily he diligently marked all the bolts and parts in zip lock bags. My buddy and I put it back together, but couldn't get it to start. We think it is because we put the original piston rings back in it, and just can't get good enough compression.

It has now been sitting in a buddy's garage for almost 2 years, so I figured it was time to give someone else a crack at it. We don't have a title for it, so it is more of a parts bike.

Just trying to give it away, let me know if you are interested.

Friend of mine just bought this 2008 KLR 650 with 2,900 miles.  The ad for it was crazy, but he got it for $3000 and sold his 2007 DRZ400SM with more miles for $3500.  Text of the add re-posted below for posterity.

You may be thinking to your self how the HELL does this thing stay cool after catching on fire from going so goddamn fast on dirt/road!? It has a LIQUID cooling system, HIGH TECH RIGHT HERE! So while your ass is melting away in this desert heat of Illinois, your engine can stay nice and motherf****** frosty as you pick up the mud my mama's down at your local off road course. The transmission is five speed which means it has five speeds , nothing to really say there... Front brakes / rear brakes   
Single 280mm petal-type disc, two-piston caliper / single 240mm disc, single-piston caliper AKA HOLD ONTO YOUR shaZam! ! YOU GONNA STOP REAL FAST!

Text of ad:

05' Suzuki gs500f for $2000. Six speed crotch rocket. One heck of a bike. For the intermediate level rider. Bike tops at 130+mph so you have plenty of speed and power to ride with the best of them. This bike is not to be taken lightly and its explosiveness will surprise you and the pack. Gotta let it go cause I'm ready to move on to something even bigger.


So, because he's ready to move on to something bigger, are we to assume that he has achieved advanced/semi-pro level? :lol:

I think he's ready to move up. Time to get a new bike and drop it on both sides like he did the GS500. He's still alive so he needs more speed and power to finally kill himself. The Gs500 is not powerful enough to do squidly things.  :flipoff:

Vintage? In rattle-can black? Not even close.  :icon_lol:

To be vintage, it must be at least 20 years old (or more depending on the state) and needs to be maintained in or restored to a condition which is substantially in conformity with manufacturer specifications and appearance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_car)...at least according to the legal definition for most states to register a vehicle as a classic/antique.

If he's willing to drop the price $500 so fast because he's moving, I'd say it's a good bet that the "runs great" part is worth another price drop. Runs great usually means there's a "but." Like, but it spews oil; but it dies at the end of the block; but I can't figure out what's really wrong with it so I'll sell it.

Realistically, I don't think there's any phrasing that can be used in a classified/ebay/craigslist ad to state that something really does run mechanically perfectly. Using correct grammar & spelling as well as a greater than 1 complete sentence description goes a long way toward someone (me) believing what is written, though.

Geez, Tough crowd! hahaha   :nono:

Well, I might as well say it now ahead of time instead of being bashed IFFF I decide to sell.

"""Considering""" selling my bike and upgrading to an SV650.
Still not 100% certain tho.
Enjoy the bike, but basically not enough power for my riding style or my height and weight. (6ft2 and around 235pnds)

So, based on "Other local riders" who know wayyyyy more then I do.
They told me to list it at $2500 and I would probably get around $2000 to $2250.
and yes I was shocked at the price they told me too!
I actually asked them a few times after, are you Sure?? lol

Plan to go with their advice as Yes the motorcycle market here in north east Pa is rather high in price!!!!

but not without consideration.
Bike is visually and mechanically perfect now except for One problem I plan to fix first. (annoying valve ticking that im suspicious isnt just noise)
and then toss in my extra Running 89 motor and every single part I have for the bike for a Firm price that I list, negotiable with just the bike.

thats IFFF I decide to sell and upgrade to an SV650.

So theres my Possible listing before anyone goes bashing it IF it shows up. hahaha

If you have recently checked your valves and adjusted them, don't open it back up before you sell it.  These bikes are mechanically loud.  Valve ticking is probably normal.

If it seemed Minor, I wouldnt bother.
But
1. I dont wanna sell something to even a stranger that may be a bigger problem then suspected.
2. I dont wanna give them any reason to bother me with haggling or to have to think twice before buying.

Not to mention if they hear it, it would be kind of hard to convince someone unfamiliar with the GS that its only valve noise.

Once the bike warms up pretty good (more then just letting it idle awhile) it ticks when its idle.
Specifically, it sounds like the shim bucket is dancing around.
Even my friend on a newer vulcan can hear it next to me at a light.

Still have to keep thinking if I want to or not, and order a new rear tire on Weds.

So I have time to check the valves out.
Which is easy as pie for me, and anything wrong... I have plenty of extra parts to fix it.

not that im posting for troubleshooting help.

just saying why I plan to check it over.

I know exactly what you mean! I've done three moped projects from junk/non-running to screamin' blasts of fun under 35mph.  But I had to sell them because the woman of the house has this rule, where we can only have two non-running vehicles at a time... and I was using them and that rule to put-off doing the 97 ranger sitting in the garage (It ran, but wasn't really road worthy...)  :icon_rolleyes:

[ramblings]my girlfriend wish she could tell me that! but she's getting the shredped bug just as bad as me now hahah

I really enjoyed building my drz400s project, but was miffed i didn't take it to 100%. I keep in touch in with the new owner, and he buttoned it up and its running well. After knowing that, I felt pretty good with the r&d and time i put into it. Which made me want to build And finish an engine even more. After looking at building up my drz400sm, i couldn't fit the bill.. then a toptank garelli popped up about an hour away. smaller, cheaper, less risk, it was a done deal.

I've got my 77 garelli ssxl (http://www.mopedarmy.com/forums/read.php?1,3058969) in project state with damn near every part i could find for it. Finally got my hands on a true vm20(mikuni still recovering from the tsunami), and that's the last big part i was needing. Just need to buy a grip of jets, and a temp gauge. Then just a bit more research on timing the polini 70cc kit. After that time to get greasy! Aaand Theeen after putting the kit on tuning, and breaking it in. Time to modify the clutch to get rid of that shitty rubber clutch and install then tune my 2 shoe racing clutch! [/ramblings]

Sitting downstairs in the shop!! Got this one from a kid a couple towns over that stumbled onto my WTB craigslist ad. I didn't think i'd get any bites with that ad, but am pumped to be stoked to add a 2 speed reed valve ped to the quiver. She's patiently waiting for a solid couple days of work. Needs a new sprag clip, clutches recorked, and top end and carb cleaning. Got new sprag and rings ordered. Doing more research on clutch pads before placing an order.

that, and what looks like a poorly painted crack in the engine housing, that goes right across the suzuki cover, and down the size of the circle?

but anyways, whats the story? impound for no license, or what?

Judging by the "hardcore" wire mesh scrape cover under the exhausts, looks like someone was treating her harshly?
One might think it was just for attitude, but the crack in the engine implies differently.

Vintage Suzuki GS 425E Café Racer TRADE for?? - $2999 (North of seattle)
Date: 2012-08-14, 10:30AM PDT
Reply to: twqmb-3197160522@sale.craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]
I purchased this bike from the original owner who purchased it brand new in 1979. He kept this bike in his garage for over 30 years and only put 3K miles on it. I purchased it a few years back and have added another 1500 miles to it when the sun was out. Right now it has less than 6K on it and is in perfect working condition. It has an electric start & a kick start which adds to the vintage look. There is nothing wrong with the bike mechanically and very little cosmetically. Other than a little where & tear from being 30 years old, this bike is in GREAT condition. Hate to let it go but I have a Harley now. . .

I am willing to trade for something of equal value, send me over your offer and I will let you know!

94 GS500 Project Bike - $600 (Spartanburg/York)

$600 Very Firm

Basically, a friend bought this bike running last year. Rode it for a few months, and then decided to tear it down and fix it up. He came across another bike he'd rather have, and sold this one to me. I bought it torn down, with most of the parts in boxes. So I can only go by what I was told as far as what it needs. It for sure needs tires, a headlight, a muffler(it has one but the end is cut off,) new seat (or this one recovered,) new fork seals and oil, and various other parts may need to be replaced depending on how nice you want to make it. Also the paint looks pretty good from a few feet away, there is one small dent in the gas tank, and the paint is scrached up on the back side of the tank.

The pic on the trailer is from where I picked it up, the pick of it complete is with the parts just sitting on it.

No I will not come down on the price. I'm already losing some money on this in gas and title/registration fees.
It's well worth the asking price in parts alone.

Thanks for looking, Jonathan

He He He - just got (basically stole) a motor on flea ghey for $202.50 plus postage. People want motors - why don't they bid? 3500 miles is low for a 1997 motor. I can't pass up on a good deal.

Little rougher than I thought. Still, he's a local biker and friendship is important, too. He delivered, went to licensing with me and paid for new tabs. So it was no hassle. I'll start a thread on it later. He's going to join the forum to keep track of the build, After the baby comes, he might want to buy it back.

Frame good.
Engine good.
Wheels good.
Forks good (may need seals).

So overall, OK. Could have been better price but he did deliver and etc. so that's worth something. It will help his new baby fund.

These days anything in really good shape is around $2000 or more. No more bargain GS500's around here.

$1000 obo, non running.
if I could get it to West Seattle I know I could get it running.

http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/mcy/3254166336.html

Selling my Suzuki GS500E 1996 model. I bought this bike a year ago and it served me well with no problems. This is a great starter bike and is much easier to handle than most bikes this size. Plus Suzukis are known for their durability. I am the third owner. The only problem(which is a major one) is that the bike is currently not running. It was left for the summer as I went home to Norway and it did not start when I came back. I suspect that the carbs are flooded, and there might be an electrical issue as well. I have an estimated quote of $175 to fix this at Tacoma Motorsports. Looking to get rid of this bike as I got a car, and willing to negotiate on price, seeing as the bike is not running. Can be a good project for someone looking to fix up a bike that has a lot of life left in it. Email me if you are interested and I can give you my number for more details. 160 005miles (not a lot for a bike this age). The bike has never been laid down, but has been dropped once, hence the marks one the side (shown in picture). Also have cover, two helmets, front windshield and riding gear if interested.

For $800 it should be a steal.

There is a 2005 for $1299. Insurance totaled it due to damage to fairing. If I didn't just get this 1996 bike, that 2005 would be super - make it naked and flip for $2000. Damage to front makes me wonder if more damage - like forks?

Im looking to buy my first motorcycle and I've found two that I am debating right now.

Here's the first

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/mcy/3294620163.html
2001 GS500E
18,000 miles
all stock, I think
$2000
$1500 according to KBB

and duece

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/3287787499.html
2008 GS500f
11,000 miles
yoshimura exhaust? ($300?)
He said he will go to $2800
$2750 on KBB

A mechanic told me they aren't much different, just cosmetic stuff.

Im in a dilemma,
I like the price of the 01' since I have about $3500 to spend in all
but being much newer, more attractive, and closer to the blue book value, the 08' keeps me making a decision.

Also, I will be arranging to see the bikes and paperwork soon to make sure everything checks out.

If anybody has input, as an experienced or educated rider I would appreciate it much.

I like that 2001 if it's as good as it looks... even better if you can knock down the price a little. Point out imperfections and then see if the seller is willing to go lower. I tried really hard to get a GS500 around my area, but had no luck. Then I widened my bike wish list (Ninjas, Rebels, SV650, etc) and picked up a 06 Honda Hornet. Good luck!

One consideration is 2001-2002 are the "bastard" years. That is, sort of 89-00 and looks like 2004+

Some parts are hard to find like replacement CDI's, carbs, and hand controls have different connectors.

2004+ are all compatible for parts except for the right hand control: in 2006 they changed the connector and ran the headlight through it to turn off headlight when starter pressed.

In the USA, a 2004+ naked has had the fairings removed. Naked 2004+ were not sold in the USA. 2001-2002 were always naked.

I would go 2004+ if only for parts compatibility and availability.

Ask the 2008 seller what happened to the fairing. Look for signs of damage. Fairings often removed after they are crashed.

The 2001 does look really nice. Slightly lower on price and it would be a steal.

Worst case? If you ever had to do wiring work, you could rewire it totally to 2004+ parts for probably $200. That might only be if you had to replace the CDI and that cost you well over $100. Then I'd change it out. Half a day job. I got a complete 2006 wiring system including CDI and everything for $115!

Fix it and flip it?

It's an interesting combo, for certain.  The sv650 seat cowl is worth a pretty penny by itself, depending on the color.

This bike is pretty modified. Rear tail and sub frame are SV650, exhaust can is GSXR600, Custom front flyscreen and lighting. Bike is pretty cool looking and fun to ride. It needs some love though. The tank leaks a little. The rectifier/regulator is bad so the charging system is not working. It will need a battery too. It runs but smokes a little. Good winter project.

I would go for it. Even in part you're more than double your money :thumb:

Considering it needs tires, fairings and a windshield, yeah.

And maybe he knew someone who made the trade?  Harleys aren't exactly renowned for their comfort..  Maybe it's just salesmanship?  At least he's being upfront (as far as we know) about the issues the bike has.

But then maybe I've just seen so many terrible ads, I'm willing to give some one a little more slack if they actually provide information regarding the bike..

Looks like I get it.
Seller may even deliver it. Said I'd give $175 if delivered - it is from Tacoma an hour south of me. Knowing what parts are there - still a good (ok GREAT) deal (i.e. STEAL) for a parts bike.
I think sending pictures if Phenix that I built all from spare parts convinced him I would make good use of it and not "turn it into a bobber or street fighter".
At least he's working with me now.
Worst case: I'll pay Friday then bluesmudge and I will pick it up Saturday.

Engine turns. Oil in it clean. Carbs dirty (expected). Forks not badly pitted or rusted. Runs excellent. 89 clip-ons excellent.

Not bad for $100. Noice guy - gave him an extra $80 for delivering it from Tacoma to West Seattle ( hour drive ) Worth it.

That was some plastic over the engine & carbs he put there to try to keep it in better shape. I'll pull ot off and hake another picture.

He was a really nice guy and into bikes.
Someone else had it before him and kept it in the rain. He tried to preserve it and do some clean up in hopes of using it. Well, kids, wife and time were not on his side so he "dumped" the carcass for a steal. He mentioned he had offers for making a bobber or other crap. My pictures pf Junior and Phenix impressed him and he felt the parts should go to someone that would do the right thing. very interesting seller - nice to meet one not out for money but to see parts get put back into service.

I am sure he will be back when he needs bolts & nuts for his other bikes.

Engine should be OK by what he says. Even showed me oil was clean and fairly fresh. I forget all the details on the history of the bike. There's lots of good parts there. Even the broken front turn signals - I have spare orange lenses. Ignition, clip-ons, wheels, engine, carbs, and more. Speedo is broken but there is that blue cap for the high beam indicator!
Yep - $100 was a good deal for parts.

OK - here is another picture.

p5snb-3436908119@sale.craigslist.org[?]
I have a 2004 GS 500 motorcycle with only 57xx miles. I bought it with 300 miles four years ago.

There's a busted baring in the motor, easy fix. about $400. still runs. I've had it sitting in my garage the last few years never getting around to fixing it. I would like to keep it but lost my job and need the cash. There are a few scratches here and there because it fell in the dirt. I lost the title when i moved from seattle. I can get it in monroe at the licensing place if i have a buyer. I will pay for that out of the sale. it's only like twenty bucks.

I also have a brand new battery i got for it that i will include for free. its worth $100

Well, a quick look at the speedo, and the miles are actually 6549.7  I sure hope he doesn't think he drove an '09 70k miles and expects to get $4500 out of it.  :icon_lol:

$2300
2004 Suzuki GSX600F Katana

*new custom paint
*almost new tires
*almost new OEM chain and sprox

There are a couple minor surface scratches here, nothing major - and comes with extra paint.

Great running bike that has been gently rode. If you're looking for a solid bike, that's very reliable....this is a great choice!

'04 for $2000

http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/mcy/3480836180.html

I have a 2004 Suzuki GS500f for sell, clean/clear title. This a great starter bike, only 498cc so big enough to get out of the way quick but not to much were if you goose the throttle you'll be thrown.

Has 10,281 miles on it, valve's were done @ 10,000. New brakes front and rear. Had a complete once over this summer, took all the cowlings/fuel tank/covers off to inspect it. Repaired/replaced all work/broken items.

Books out at $2800-$3500, I am asking $2000 because of a few cosmetic scratches, and I'd like it gone. I have a full set of saddle/tank bags I'll throe in for $60.

Note: these photos don't do it justice, the light is white washing the color its actually really really yellow, not faded at all! been garage stored its whole life

Oh thats not a rusty chain, that the centre stand. Look carefully cause there is no chain on the bike. You can see that on the photo of the motor cause there is no sprocket cover and no chain.

I know that bike! :D It's had, I think, 2 owners since being rebuilt. The guy that rebuilt it had a shop in atlanta (on hollywood dr if my memory serves correct) and posted it a few times (first time it was 1.4k, sold around the time it was at 1.2k or so). Wish I had saved the original ad, it was more detailed about the bike. Some parts aren't stock iirc.

What stopped me back then was the lack of tach: it would've been my first non-scooter bike. Ended up snagging one near his area that was in better condition.

In other words, I turned this bike into a crappy, embarrassing POS which I park on my front lawn (i.e. weeds) next to the couch and old car seat but now I want something that really does run well, isn't deafening loud and keeps me from looking like a red-neck squid.

For sure mang, the hobbits hold their value pretty well. Got all three for $240! They are a little rough right now. Plan is to make 1 running hobbit and part the rest. Might end up having to part everything to make back my investment. Not stressing it though, got them to learn 2 new engine layouts, and stoked to dabble with the variated transmission on the hobbits.

How can you tell if a bike is good and fun to ride? Probably you'd see something like

Buy in the Winter Sell in the Summer...

In the winter all the squids and fair weather riders are selling there bikes and because no one wants a bike when its cold you buy them then cause they are cheaper.

Then in the summer all the squids with daddy's bank account want bikes. Then you can jack the price up on your bike a bit.

I remember reading an article about those bikes when they were invented.  It provides an extremely comfortable seat for a sport bike, and the idea behind the seat being so low was to lower the center of gravity on the bike making it more stable.  The ride review said that it was different, but a blast to ride.

If I had a 1/36 bike I probably wouldn't ride it either.

Post by: BockinBboy on January 14, 2013, 11:14:15 AM
It all depends how it was stored... bikes like these are usually not ridden because the owner got scared.  Notice the the right side cover has lost the suzuki emblem, and has light scratches. 

Probably put in the garage and never rode it again...

So like I said, depending on how it was stored, it needs a good carb cleaning, and there is possible rust in the tank.  Also, you can count on replacing tires, brake lines, and fuel lines and changing the oil and filter regardless how it was stored because I can about guarantee its all original.  Inspect the air box and muffler for signs of critter guests as well... I also would have been due for its initial service, so I would question if that had been done.

Bikes like these are usually never ready to go like they seem.  There is several hundred more dollars and a bunch more time to spend after the initial buy before they are truly road ready....

I know this because I bought one myself, an '04 with 2.5k miles, and had sat for at least 2 years... it looked ready to go, but I knew what needed done going in.  All that gave me plenty to negotiate with, and I got a great deal in the end.

We'll see what's available. His reply:

Patrick,

Thanks for the mail.  The bike was not wrecked. It was at an auction and they provide a bill of sale. I bought it for a few specific parts and am selling the rest to recoup some of my costs.  It was not crashed. It looks like someone tried to steal it as they cut the harness and tried to wire around the key. The speedo has 11k miles on it. I did not try to start it prior to disassembly.  The forks are fine. I cut the frame in half to remove the engine so that's gone. This is a lot newer style that you 92. If you are interested in anything let me know the part and your offer. Thanks


And my reply back:
I have GS500's and projects through 2009 so year doesn't matter and 90% of parts are compatible across all years.
So no frame. No engine? (it can be removed in 5 minutes without cutting the frame.)
You mentioned it had been painted so that kills the fairings and tail plastics.
Probably forks, gauges (if not trashed), rear shock. Extra turn signals are always handy in the  parts bins. I prefer the 01+ ones over the 89-00 style.
I'm overloaded with wheels at the moment so no need for those unless cheap enough to keep them from going to recycling.
I have a couple spare tanks so I'm good there.

Maybe let me know what parts you are keeping from it and I can think of what's left that I can use?

Are you ever on gstwins.com? If you are, then you'll know about my projects in West Seattle.
There are others on gstwins.com that are looking for "F" model fairings and tanks.

Title: Re: Craigslist Finds
Post by: adidasguy on January 16, 2013, 06:36:22 PM
Seems everything but the engine is available. Seeing if I can buy the remaining carcass and part out everything to people here that need fairings, wheels, forks, etc. also asking the condition of his prior engine. Maybe it has a usable head. Then I can give someone good head.

Update: a reply of what's available. Seems the entire bike?  :dunno_black:
asked what he kept as now I am getting suspicious that it is parting out a stolen bike. With the frame cut to get the engine out - hence no frame and VIN.
Still, if all is at a good price then I could go for it.

Another inconsistency, he says 'My bike has a repaint' referring to the one he's getting rid of, but wouldn't 'his bike' be the one he got the parts for? Maybe it's nitpicking, but I don't think most people would word it like that.

Since he claims to have a bill of sale though, you can always see if that's valid/recent. Would it least have a color and year or something other than the VIN on it?
Title: Re: Craigslist Finds
Post by: adidasguy on January 16, 2013, 11:12:17 PM
After asking more questions - no response.
Definitely a chop shop parting out a stolen bike. Heck - look at the list of parts available. It is the whole bike minus the frame. No one would cut a frame to remove a motor.

I'll pass. I do not feel comfortable in this parts bike. Frame cut to take out motor? Why? Ignition looks like someone tried to steal it? Bought at auction for parts - yet all bike parts are listed for sale! He didn't keep anything?

I just got this email. No pictures and no answer to "what parts did you keep for your bike?"
so definitely a stolen bike being parted out.

I sent you a list of what's available. Nothing more.  When I get time I will start listing it on ebay if no one local takes any of it.

No. I didn't say anything. However I did post on pnwriders.com wondering if anyone was missing a 2008 GS500 and a link to the CL posting. I only mentioned I felt uncomfortable about it.

Weird that he says he bought it to use some parts. Then all parts are available. And the frame was cut to remove the motor. If you weren't keeping the motor, why bother removing it until you had a buyer? Yep - things just didn't add up.

first time posting here.

i just finished the safety course and looking for a cheap beginner bike that i can learn to ride on and also learn how to do some simply mechanical/ maintenance work on. found this 97 gs500e

http://houston.craigslist.org/mcy/3532874089.html

kelly blue books says $1200 retail value in excellent condition. he confirmed that its been laid down before at low speeds by the previous owner. yet is very firm on his 1500 asking price. how much should this bike cost

thanks everyone
Title: Re: Craigslist Finds
Post by: adidasguy on February 04, 2013, 01:14:26 PM
based on what I've seen for current prices around Seattle, $1500 looks good for that bike. Anytime you can go lower the better. However it looks really clean and well taken care of. It does need bar ends and front side reflector (right side). Any bike will have some scratches to the engine cases. Without engine guards, just knocking it over will scratch them. Looks like it went down on the right side - scratching the engine and probably taking the right front reflector with it.

Check it for bent forks. Ask about the time it went down.

What you can expect:
Buy some OEM bar ends. Post a want to buy on this board before buying from ebay or elsewhere. Lots of people here have spare parts.
Fork Springs: Pretty much everyone agrees that stock fork springs are crap (even reviews of the GS500 say that) so $90 for upgraded front springs and it will ride like a new bike.
Tires: Check the age of them. Tread means nothing if the rubber is old and hard. Look at the date code on the tires - it might get the price down if tires are old. Generally I always put on new tires when I get a used bike. It is just my preference to know I have good tires.
Chain & Sprockets: Check them for excessive wear. If needed to be replaced: Under $100 for good chain and  sprockets.
Look at the brakes. Check for how much pad is left. Front wears more than the rear.
OIL: When was the last oil change? Check oil level and see how dark or smelly the oil is. If oil happens to smell gassy, it is a problem.
Battery: Howl old? It is under the seat. Check acid levels. If the battery has a drain, it should be on the right side, not the left. Should be 9ah or higher rated battery and not be so high it hits the under side of the seat (boo-boos I've seen in some used bikes and friends used GS500's: wrong battery!)
Rust: Look in the tank with a flash light. There will be some rust. Look to see if the gas is clear. Shake the bike. is gas still clear? If not, there's lots of loose rust.

Not a deal killer on any of the above, but something to be aware of and maybe get the price down.
Not meaning to scare you - just things to look at when getting a used bike. Any used bike will require some basic maintenance.
Take the check list. Let others add to the list. It shows you are a serious buyer. An honest seller would not hesitate to disclose anything. There WILL be imperfections in the bike - it is used and 15 years old. (We should have a list in the WIKI of what to check when buying a used GS500 - and what is a serious defect .vs. what is normal and easy to deal with.)

Get yourself a Haynes manual. You need a manual to know basic maintenance and when you need to get more assistance for hard to do things. Also get a volt meter. Necessary to check the battery and electrical system.

From what I see, $1500 is a good price for the bike - if it runs as good as it looks.

wow thanks for all that information its really appreciated.  been trying to absorb as much info as i can from this site and its a little overwhelming since i know nothing about bikes to begin with. hoping to put it to use soon.  one thing, is it usually better to buy oem parts, like for bar ends, instead of aftermarket items?

been trying to get the seller to lower the price but he isnt budging (he was using NADAguides while i used kbb and i didnt know which one was better). since i was buying my first bike, i didnt wanna get cheated or anything so i was hesitant. but i will go with the price as long as the test drive is fine. thanks for your help

We're here to help.
In Seattle right now there isn't a GS500 for under $2900.
One person is selling one for $4900! I bought my 2009 NEW for $3999 on sale in May of 2010.
Prices for GS500's are going up - demand is there because it is such a reliable bike, easy to ride and super easy to work on.

He made one because a used tank was too expensive? There's a big ol' DUH and a redneck bike repair.
Cost of fiberglass (unless stolen) and all the time involved would be much more than $150-$250 for a really really good used tank.
Wasn't there a thread of someone making a fiberglass tank about 2-1/2 years ago?

I'm sure it's nothing more than a carb clean/float height issue...MAN, what a deal.

Probably not BockinBboy...and if you look closely, there's no muffler...it's a straight pipe and you're right...pods.

The GS models (especially the older ones) are VERY picky regarding mixture.  My initial guess is that it's overly lean.  Not to mention the carb boots are most likely original (30 years old).  I bet those o-rings and rubber are cracked, frayed, and worn down.

After looking more closely, it will need a carb clean, rejet, and new carb boots and O-Rings, and new exhaust.  Straight pipes on a 450 sound like a$$.  Probably 40 bucks in carb parts, and then add some for the exhaust.  A junkyard would have the stock setup for cheap I imagine.

Of course, like the Indy Show, I could paint it green and have an acrylic box full of live scorpions.  That would easily add 4 horsepower.   :D

I was talking with one of the guys working near that scorpion bikeon sunday, and he said those 'live' scorpions haven't moved since he had seen them friday, haha

There wasn't a heat source for them, so they coulda just been piled together and still for warmth... but still funny

$2999 is the cheapest GS on CL right now in Seattle.

MNakes me think that after fixing up Quin, I might get over $2000 for him. He will have SS lines, better springs, all the stuff I would want (except new stock bars and stock pegs). Having all prime parts would reduce the ability for someone to haggle on price. I'll make videos as I start the project next month.

Bike mostly put together, the seat pan and foam is good. The foam needs to be recovered with a suitable material, and the seat needs hardware to mount it to the bike. And the electric components should prob be mounted different from stock since I took off the side plastics. Just incase the bike goes down it wont damage the regulator rectifier or something.

Ran surprisingly strong before I put it in storage. Projects are piling up, haven't touched this one since last April, so I'd like to get it to someone that will use it.

Turns over, has spark, but wont start.

Most deals that are too good to be true are usually too good to be true. However there is those few times that things work out. I for example found a 2006 with 5k listed for 1000 the bike had been sitting and needed a "tune" according to the seller got him down to 900 went to look at it and the battery he had was dead so knocked off 200 more so I got it for 700. Yes, I was cautious but I took a chance maybe 200 bucks in parts later I had it running flawlessly (new carbs, fuel lines, derust tank, and tank fuel chicken ;) ) so if you go to look at it just go with your gut I might add that this was the first bike I was shopping for and my budget was tight being in college and all so nobody and i mean nobody was going to turn me away from that bike and it turned out good but just because the price is low doesnt mean shy away just investigate thats all.

just my 2 pennies

2003 gsxr 600 very low miles. I purchase in 2003 brand new but it has been in storage for the last 6 years, ridden occasionally during that time. The battery is currently dead.....most likely needs a bit of springtime maintenance as it has been in storage for while without being started. Miles very low as stated, could be over 12k but not likely.

Bike has never been wrecked.  I would say fair/good condition...only because it simply has not been ridden.  I bought the bike brand new in 2003 and moved overseas in 2006, it's been in storage most of that time so I'd say the tires probably need replaced and last I had heard the stator was not charging properly.  Looks wise it's great, I think I scratched the cowl once and as I was pulling into storage on a gravel parking lot I lost balance and it fell very slowly as I caught it.....slight marks on the fairings but only if you know what to look for.

Well if he was over seas (deployed in the military) than he probably is stacked and not very interested in motorcycles anymore, or he could just buy a new one and get rid of that one to get some cash for his family back home. Just a thought.

hmm...  sounds a little similar to how I got mine, but it was not originally priced bottom dollar...

It was sold to me by the owner's father in Decatur, and the owner lived out of state, and had previously been out of the country...

How it went:  Owner got back into states and settled, located the title and signed it. He then sent the signed title to his father who was storing the bike.  Owner's father sold it to the first person who offered the lowest price point in his range with cash(happened to be me  ;))  ... received bill of sale along with matching signed title and bike (checked the vin, mileage, and other DMV history before handing over cash of course).  I had absolutely no issues with the transaction or title transfer.

Obviously you should be cautious going in, check all numbers match, look up DMV history, go with at least one other person, keep cash on the DL and say you'll do money order... etc, etc.. just use your common sense!

What's your process for checking the VIN, mileage and DMV history?
Title: Re: Craigslist Finds
Post by: BockinBboy on February 28, 2013, 10:45:41 AM
I got the VIN and called the DMV, told the lady I was going to look at the bike and wanted to ensure the title was clear and check last known owner was the same as person selling... It took about 10mins, even with the irritated lady at the DMV.  She told me there it was clear with no leans, and all previous registration dates with mileage when ownership transferred.  I can't remember if she actually gave the names on it though  :dunno_black:  I remember noticing the names of the father and son selling were Jr/Sr though, so I wasn't worried once I heard everthing else matched up...  Just made sure the VIN I had checked on was the same as the VIN on the bike when I got there, and the same VIN on the actual title of course.

Actually the entire bike does. I seen it on youtube where he bought it from a kid that wrecked it the first week it bought it. Only because he was talking about ordering those fairing and he did not know they would come with out the striping.. I just woke up for the heck of me cant think of a name :confused:


Edit: Different bike i guess, just notice rear section on his was blue/white and that one is black.

Not interested in haggling. I know the value and condition of this bike and all its new stuff and xtras, compared to its competition. If you think you can find a better deal you are missing something. This is not another gs500 that will be worth 800 bucks in a few years or a nameless who-cares crotch rocket, or rashed up stunt bike, it is a historical icon designed by engineer Tadao Baba, 90 pounds lighter than the nearest competitor, Yamaha who did not catch up til 1998 - with anything that could come close to it.

all bolts are kept in groups and separated with zip lock bags
It's all there. Complete bike some assembly required the used crank alone I bought for almost 300$
Bike is valued at 2400 to 3400 running I just need to pay traffic fines

Up for sale is a Suzuki gs500f the bike was running but it needed a new crank I bought the part and my mechanic screwed me over by not rebuilding it

I found out the old crank could have just been machined for a lot cheaper so bike has extra crank.

Never laid down no wiring issues all clean clear title

I don't know how to put it all back together

I hear GS's are pretty expensive down your way. Buy them, have them shipped and I bet someone down there is squid enough to love them and pay you a small fortune for a custom American GS500!

If I didn't have so many already
2000 for $800
http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/3661824343.html

Hi, for sale is my GS500. It needs some tender loving care and a good home. Unfortunately I haven't rode it in several years and it currently doesn't run. This could be a great project for someone with some know how. The only cosmetic blemishes it has were inflicted when it fell while parked. This dented the tank cracked the gauge housing and bent the bars a little (see in the pictures).
Thanks for looking!
P.S. you will need to tow the bike but I can help you load it.

Nice write up about his bike for sale

Hello!! I am wanting to sell my baby...well, my motorcycle anyways. She is a 2000 Suzuki GS500E. I have had her for 2 years and have ridden her damn near every day, rain or shine. She has always done me right, and I have had ZERO issues with her. She gets around 60 mpg, which is fantastic these days, trust me. When was the last time you filled up for $12? I did this morning, and the time before that was 2 weeks ago!
She has not been twisted on, no motor work or pipe or any of that. The only aftermarket stuff that I have done to her was the handlebars and the luggage, which I will probably keep unless somebody wants that too. I even have an extra heated vest that I may be talked in to parting with.
In all seriousness, this bike is fantastic for riders of all skill. It doesnt have 'throw you down' power, but it gets up and goes great. PERFECT beginner bike, PERFECT commuter (yes, even on the freeway). Its quiet, comfy, extremely reliable (seriously, check out some reviews), and low low maintenance. I am asking $2000, or best offer. Once you come ride it, you will buy it.
It does have scratches on the engine case from my buddy (I swear!) dropping it, and the tail plastics are scraped. Not bad though.
If you would like to come see it, please email or text/call at three 6 0, 8 eight 8, 25 eight 0. Thank you for looking!

This one showed up for $700. If I didn't have so many projects.....
http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/3705023801.html

I see by the picture the top end has been replaced - it is black and the rest of the motor is silver. Good chance it WON'T run without major work since someone has already been farkling with the motor. Gauges are cracked. Rusty dent on tank, too. Probably crashed then sat.

Hi, for sale is my GS500. It needs some tender loving care and a good home. Unfortunately I haven't rode it in about 5 years and it currently doesn't run. This could be a great project for someone with some know how. The only cosmetic blemishes it has were inflicted when it fell while parked. This dented the tank cracked the gauge housing and bent the bars a little (see in the pictures). I do have the original mirrors they are just not in the picture.
Thanks for looking!

Here's an odd one:

2 motorcycles for the price of one gs500 tempter 650 - $300 (olalla)
my girlfriend bought these bikes while i was at work yesterday and they are to much work for me to handle the tempter 650 only needs a starter and probably a new gas tank due to rust doesnt run but engine seems fine the gs 500 has a lot more issues motor isnt seized up though 300 buys them both. firm i have to get my money back you could probabl part them out or scrap them for more than that. niether bike has a title but i do have a bill of sale. get these things out of my truck!

2001 Suzuki GS500 Naked Sport Bike - $735 (SoCal)

From the ad:
For the past 2.5 years the bike has been sitting protected in a garage. I had the bike looked at by a mechanic to try and diagnose some erratic behavior I was experiencing with the bike. A low-compression reading in the right-hand cylinder was discovered. Despite not knowing this until right before I moved away from Socal, I rode it for over 2 years as is. Based on power output alone, I could never tell this bike had any faults.
That being said, due to the low compression in the one cylinder, the bike had a couple behavioral issues. One was that it could sometimes be a finicky starter and, once started, could take a while to warm up (about 5-7 minutes from a cold start). At times, after being warmed up and ridden for a while, it would stall if not given some throttle at stop lights. A little annoying but nothing that deterred me from riding it. I never had issues with the amount of power and I regularly drove it confidently on the highway, on service streets and in the canyons. Apparently it had enough power in the left-cylinder alone.


http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/mcy/3756910546.html

I would be tempted to say that was a bad comp test, if I could get it past the wife I would go take a look at it myself..
Is it just me or are the rims two different colors?

Rear is gunmetal.  Wouldn't be surprised if it was just a bad coil.  My 96 had the same issue, and that's what it turned out to be.  Could be a steal for someone!

If you're looking to buy a bike with "has some trouble, but runs", heck buy mine! :-D

In contrast to his bike: my motor, etc, all run fine. As an indicator of engine health, I'm getting around 55 mpg

the trouble with mine, is that the frame has dent in it.
Hasnt stopped me from putting a thousand or so more miles on it. But I wouldnt want to take it on the twisties. Which is why I'm looking to get a new bike :)

Prices are up in Seattle. That's not a bad price around here. Some 2007's have been going for nearly $4000!
$3000+ for an "F" is not uncommon.
I don't know who owns it or who is buying it.

Picked up a 1992 GS500E for $500 yesterday.  It's been sitting for 2 years and will not turn over.  I have the cylinders soaking in PB Blaster.  Bike is complete with normal wear for it's age.  I look forward to getting know folks here as I start my GS500 adventure.

Mine wasnt sitting that long, but I bought mine in December a few hundred miles on it this week already as I got it out last Sunday and officially Wednesday. Been very cold until recently so slow progress and no reason to wrap it up until now.


There are many here that will get you the info you need. Welcome!

I agree that prices seem to be up.

A couple specimens in my area. All seem a bit high-priced considering the obvious damage to each.

A few of those are a joke.. That '08 is priced at 3600. I don't care if it has 3k miles, that's really not a selling point. Only mentions cosmetics which should be flawless at that price.. and doesn't mention any services done... Tires are old, brake lines and fuel hoses need done at a minimum... Initial service done even? Just because he got it from a dealer doesn't mean they did any maintenance on it... They might put a new battery in it, but you can bet they didn't end up paying for it... Why would they do anything more than selling it when they'll get more when you return to pay for services it needs. There are other angles on this of course, but my point is that they don't end up paying for anything a bike needs. If it has to be done to sell it, it's in the price already and the new owner pays for it... If it can 'wait' the new owner pays for it later.

Others are just as bad with there pricing, but that was easiest to tear apart and there is more I haven't mentioned even... I just don't understand why people think this time of year fetches twice as much because I haven't seen em sell that high unless they are at a dealer because people must 'think' its a safer bet for used bikes?...

BBoy, I completely agree. Hence me calling them specimens rather than deals.

From what I've seen around here, people have no concept of what bikes are actually worth, or that there are actually blue book values for them based on mileage and condition. You should see what people are asking for their beat-to-hell 70's - 80's bikes that state in the ads that they don't run. :cookoo:

I actually saw the grey/black 2007 in that list this weekend. It was parked by the range at an MSF BRC course. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see/talk to the rider or hear it run, but it doesn't look any better in person than it does in the pics. What's funny/sad is that when I first saw this ad a few weeks ago, it said the ball was broken off the clutch lever. It has since been edited/reposted without that comment.

6'3" 230... I really need the cash hence the price. I bought it for less than that, so that should reflect the prices around here. I need the money bad so selling is my only option atm. It is a fun little bike and I don't really want to sell it, but it is what it is.

Worthg it for $500 for the engine alone.

Hey everyone,

I bought a 1989 off my brother in law a couple years ago, I got a good deal because it wasn't running.  I cleaned and rebuilt the carbs put new jets in, new fuel lines and new spark plugs and it ran perfectly. It has just over 13,000 km (8000 miles) on it, it has factory clip ons, brand new tires and I think my brother-in-law may have put a new rear sprocket on it too but I'm not sure.  It looks ugly with a non matching gas tank and cracked plastics and it has been dropped by some kids who pushed it down the street when it was parked by the house one night. Mechanically all it needs is a new choke cable and a new battery.  Cosmetically it needs a bit more.  I rode about 500 miles on it last year and had no issues with it.  I liked riding so much I went out and bought a Kawasaki Concours so I could go on some nice long trips and I don't have room for both bikes.  So I'm going to put it on craigslist, what would you sell something like this for? Do you think $1,200 is fair? 

Thanks,
Berk

Guy's very new to the forum. Looking to get your opinion. on the following bike. Not knowing to much about the bike, what should I be looking for when I check out the bike?  I will also plan on selling it probably next year to get something bigger. The guy said he has the fairings as well which may be broken.

2009 GS500F with 2700 miles for $1000.

Obviously the front fairing is off and there doesn't seem to be a headlight or front turn signals. You can add the naked bike 7" headlight pretty easy and turn signals.
Bar ends are crooked but an easy fix.
One question is if the forks are bent.

If all is legit, $1000 is a steal. Worth much more.

Maybe $500 at most to fix whatever might be wrong.
Title: Re: Craigslist Finds
Post by: hydrosonic on May 24, 2013, 05:31:18 AM
Guys I went ahead and bough the bike. This bike is almost super clean with scuffs on the left side where the previous owner did drop the bike. The engine is super clean. It does have only 2611 miles on it so its a brand spanking new engine. So for a $1000 bucks this was a great buy. Ohh the previous owner also give me all the fairings with nuts and bolts which are in great condition.

I have two questions.

1. With the engine being so new is there a break in period for it?

2. Since the fairing were off the I just got the fairings with me. I dont know how to fix them. Is there a video showing me how to fix them. I did see a video on the side fairings but the front one i have no idea. The prev owner did give me all the nuts and bolts with it. If I saw how to take it off. I would know how to put it back on.

Is there a video anywhere which shows how to get the front fairing off or on for the bike?

Thanks

Post by: BockinBboy on May 24, 2013, 05:42:28 AM
Sounds like a good buy so far.  Make sure you check all the vitals in tip top before taking her out. Brakes, Tires, etc... A lot to look over till its ready.

In the meantime, here is adidasguy's video on fairing removal.

Front end looks trashed.. not sure if thats primer on the tank or something taped on (Tag, inventory slip, etc).

Ok called this guy today. They are a scrap yard. he is firm on the price. He says the tank should be clean but he wasnt near the picture or the bike to check.

Its a 150 mile round trip at 3 hours (there and back).

Supposedly firm on the price. Scrap title (not salvage) and I would pay sales tax so its 530 out the door.

With these two pictures to go from what do you guys think? The front looks pretty trashed.. Would this be worth going to take a look? Addidas may have a good answer or someone who parts these out. Is something this new although damaged worth it in some easy parts to sell and then keep any necessities for myself?

My current GS is my first GS. so thats why I ask.

Title: Re: Craigslist Finds
Post by: hydrosonic on May 24, 2013, 02:35:46 PM
So I looked at what was missing to get the front end fairing up. It looks like the guy i bough the bike from did not give me all the parts. i.e. Front/headlight cowl brace and the black part that goes behind the headlight fairing.

So i called the guy that sold the bike to me. He said he has that. I'll just go by and get it and put it on the bike.

Btw I can now compare the Suzuki GS500F to the Kawasaki Ninja EX-500. Both are great bikes for 500cc. However the Ninja has more mid end torque. And a better exhaust note. Still dont know which one bike prefer more.

Got it. basically, a complete GS500 minus the frame and wheels. It even has a blue cap for the high beam indicator!
1995 motor with 3000 miles. It isn't even broken in yet!
He asked $200. I gave him extra because there is so much there that we will be able to use in the bike cave. I felt a little guilty at only $200. Carbs, ignition system, running motor, the test stand (heavy steel).

He said he has a couple friends with GS500's - one in Lynnwood and another near him. Looks like we will get new members to the West Seattle GS500 Club.

Well, I was sleeping. Been busy with other things and haven't been watching CL.
2 friends alerted me  to the find: Jacob92 and the mechanic at West Seattle Bowl.
Glad my friends told me about the listing. It was a really great find. The seller was super nice and has older Hondas.
Got lots more parts now.
Maybe some karma korn is coming back to me for all the karma korn I've been giving out helping other GS500 owners?

Yes.  I upgraded to an 04 SV650n, and don't miss the GS at all. Just a better bike all around.  The only thing you really need to do is upgrade the suspension if you're looking for better performance.  Oh, and the community is pretty great too.  (Not as good as here, but still, very good).

wow after getting the pictures we agreed on..$400....

He got it from a family member a year ago and its sat.. supposedly ran last July. <8000 on odometer and that looks like original front tire.. back tire is shot. somewhat rusty... tank looks like its bad shape. 1989 with clipons... ugh here we go again.. I always do this.
Its a 4 hour round trip and 200 miles there and back..
Thoughts?

Alas, I am. I've done all I can to it. I need a new project. I'm bored. Me being bored isn't good. Like I said in the ad, I have more money in it than what it is worth so no need to drop another couple hundred by changing the sub frame and rear seat/plastics.

The second one is 20 min from my house.  I would be willing to go check it out with anyone who wants to.  I think $2,000 is pretty steep, but I have a feeling he would come down from that.

A forum member had a similar experience... Remember reading a thread where they had hit a rock placed in the middle of the road, and blew the front tire and bent the front rim pretty bad... somehow managed to keep the bike upright. Crazy luck I guess.

Title: Re: Craigslist Finds
Post by: RossLH on July 07, 2013, 10:07:08 PM
My front rim actually has a visible bend in it too, though I'm sure that's a result of laying it down. The guy I took the wheels to when I wanted the new tires mounted pointed it out and mentioned how often he sees such things with Suzuki's lightweight wheels. I guess it's not real uncommon for the GS/GSX/GSX-R lines.

Hey guys, putting my gs up for sale as there's too many bikes in the garage and I just don't have time to get her running properly like I had originally wanted. She definitely needs some love & comes with an extra engine with decent compression, front fork, and a set of wheels with old rubber. I fixed the gas overflow issue that I had posted about and had it running decently, but it just doesn't want to stay running for whatever reason.

Post by: cheetahman on August 20, 2013, 09:53:25 AM
Anything's possible but all you have to do is run the Vin at your local police dept and you find out right away.
Title: Re: Craigslist Finds
Post by: adidasguy on August 20, 2013, 10:19:20 AM
We need to lock Jacob4icu in a room. He's asking if he should do this deal.

I say run away as fast as you can

Things I found odd:

1. Motors do not have the VIN and motors do not have a title.
2. The motor is black and silver - that means it is parts from 2 motors.
3. Leave my non-running bike with you and give you $77 and you leave your bike with me until you get back?
4. Tabs expired: why expired? You have a bike you don't want to sell but need money for a trip you planned without sufficient money so you have to sell  your bike to pay for the trip and get a non-running bike and will do paperwork when you get back because you planned a trip and didn't have money for it?

Here's what he told me:

-------------------------------

So,

I dont know if you have seen this bike on craigslist, but we have been exchanging emails lately.

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/4004863855.html

The deal I first told him is my bike plus 700 for his bike. He was interested especially since I will be bringing it back to road worthy before trading it.

The cons:
- I found out later that the bike has salvage title, engine was bad and was replaced by what looks like a 90's bikes motor, he said it had 8k on the motor.
- I would have to start from scratch as far as modifications go, cause I am assuming thats what he is so interested in.

The good:
- Its an 01+ model and you know how much I love them :)
- I wont be giving him the Jardine exhaust
- Its pretty cheap.

I cant think of any other stuff right now.

What do you think of the deal? He wants to do this tomorrow if he doesnt sell it tonight.

-------------------
He is selling it to pay for his trip down to Cali of which he is leaving tonight. It makes sense I guess, 600-700 dollars to pay for food and gas for a couple weeks.

The reason he wants to do the trade is cause he doesnt want to sell the bike, but for some money and another bike he figures it will be nice to have a running bike to ride when he gets back.

The bike has expired tabs, and for that reason he doesnt want to ride it and tells me to come see it at his house after he sees my bike at my house.

The kicker is, he is willing to leave his bike at my house, and my bike at my house, during his cali trip, all I have to do is give him the cash, then he will come back and take my fixed bike after his 2 and a half weeks and go along his happy way.

It does seem quite sketchy, the bike could be stolen and hes going to report me to the police or something, but thats the only thing I could think of.


---------------------------
By the way, he said the source of the motor was another gs500 parts bike he had, and the salvage title was not from a crash, but from the motor, and he bought the bike with the salvage title. I am sure I can run a check on the vin, is there a web site that I can use to do that for free?

----------------------------

What if the motor went out and insurance just called it a total loss? Our is that not something that can happen? Then the original owner would just have to buy it back and sell it as is with a salvage title.
Title: Re: Craigslist Finds
Post by: BockinBboy on August 20, 2013, 11:39:59 AM
Oh My.... Run and Hide...

As if the urgency alone doesn't cry scam... but so many things don't add up any way you look at it.  I can count a number of lies just from reading through that vs what the two pics of the bike says...

Jacob, stick close to adidas on this... and getting back on the road will come soon enough... just not worth the risk of getting burnt off something like that, and you would be far worse than what you have now if you took a bite of that.

Study the pictures.
Black engine with silver side covers - not right. After market bar ends.
Look at the ground around it.
* Set of allen wrenches
* Looks like side stand switch
* Looks like air box breather hose
* Looks like other bike parts

Kind of looks like it was just hacked together with all the stuff on the ground.

He just told be he's going to run away. However, before he does that he's going to ask for the VIN and propose meeting at a licensing office.

Post by: Janx101 on March 29, 2014, 08:51:15 PM
Looks like it's been a 'track bike' ... Which is not a bad thing.... But unless he has them you gonna need lights and indicators etc ....

Also ... No fire from coil .... Problematic but usually fixable.... Having the engine crank by battery power  would be good though!! ... Make sure it's not a deadun ..... "No you can't try to crank it cos it won't start cos the coil has no fire!" ... Would be a deal breaker for sure.... No SPARK in the coil is one thing... But if seller is trying to hide a seized motor or rooted up bottom end... That's another...

It does look a tad unfinished for a track bike.... Wonder what happened with the OEM rear fairings?

Post by: jacob92icu on March 29, 2014, 09:55:21 PM
Janxy speaks true words of wisdom.

I would just avoid that one unless you want a track bike. In reality it probably needs a new motor cause he fried a bearing or a rod pushing the little twin to hard at the track. Would be a cool a$$ track bike though. Nice track fairings too if he already got them fitted. But if you want a street legal GS just wait a little bit and you will find one that needs some work, but is in better shape than that bike.

Thanks for the good tips. I tried to contact the owner just to get more info and to find out if it has a title, but now response. So better stay away then. I considered it as a parts source, but if the motor is fried then there is probably not enough value in the rest of the bike to recoup the investment.

Post by: Janx101 on March 30, 2014, 01:49:02 PM
Hmmm ...don't mean to confuse the issue further but...  I would say be wary of  problems, but don't blow it off altogether .... If you just want it for parts though then 600 is too much! .... I was mainly thinking of the situ as you wanted to turn it into a running bike, and then how much extra you may have to spend to do so , both in time and money.

From what I have seen on this forum over a couple years there are sometimes better deals for parts bikes on CL ... There have been similar deals with a more complete bike too! .... But it is all in what is actually right/wrong with that particular bike .... If it was in Aussie then the money wouldn't be too bad, considering what the wreckers charge for stuff, but the US seems to have a much lower price range. Theoretically you could still buy it, strip it and sell off all the parts to recoup what the seller is currently asking.... Probably ..... I'm thinking/guessing though that 3-400 would be a better price?!

Worth the effort if it can be had cheap. Some decent parts on there, plus no headlight, fender and it looks a little hacked. Definitely some leverage to chip em down with.

Looks like he has fitted Hyosung GT250 rearsets on there as well... whats the deal with the tank? fiberglass or just crappy paint job?...

Whole bike is in rough shape, but it could be fun for parts or project for the right price...

I've seen and worked on that bike. That isn't as convoluted as many cafe builds I've seen. It almost looks right too ... IMHO the perimeter frame kills any chance of it ever looking like a true cafe. That aside, its not a bad build at all. Given you want a cafe, you can get a lot worse of a hack job. Heck, if you asked me to build you a cafe, it will be a lot worse.

Cool.

Not a GS but wow the seller's description of this Busa made me LOL... harder than I should have probably  :icon_mrgreen:
http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/4610526155.html

AND since I know this link will eventually expire, here is what it says...

"Let me ask you something. Do you want a bike with more balls than Godzilla on pcp? Then please, have a look at my mint condition 2006 Suzuki Hayabusa. This sloppy b*tch has just over 6000 miles on her sweet ass and will absolutely pucker your buckeye enough to bite a hole out of the seat. Cops? HA! They won't even try to chase this easy 200+Mph, fire breathing deamon with a thorn in its nutsack. The pros of owning this bike would undoubtedly include constant staring and being ogled by large breasted women of all ages. Also, the peasant folk seem to think your a god while upon its magical throne, often pointing and yelling, Jesus Christ! This bike is truly amazing and if your ready for what can only be described as having your heart ripped out of your ass by shear velocity, I have the bike for you. I have a Joe Rocket jacket and a Shoei helmet that go with it too."

Huh ... I've never seen - large breasted women of all ages near a busa ... I have however seen Massive Assed women of all ages

He he ... usually I pity the Busa, it looks like its giving her a wedgie and that can not be healthy for a busa.

Cool.

I will be taking a look at this sometime this weekend:


http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/mcy/5843217360.html


I already have my 2000 GS500E, but my girlfriend had her eye on mine if I got another bike. This seems low risk. If I get it and she doesn't like riding, it should be easy to sell one of them for basically what I paid. I was looking at a guy in town selling an SV650 as my next bike, and I know a guy selling a dumped Yamaha GTS 1000 that could make a cool fixer-upper, but both are more expensive.


I don't know what "runs fine with TLC" means, but my guess is "Bring a trailer"


First thing would be to sell the F-style front end and get a headlight. I would rather it be naked.

Ah! Big Rich!  You've always got something interesting to say. I have a GR650 Motor but have been thinking about finding a second Motor either as a source of spares or, if it were fresher than the one I have, use it for a project. I have taken measurements of both motor and a GS 450 frame and it will definitely fit. The 450 is 6" shorter, 3" lower and 2" narrower. From pictures I've seen it looks like there's more clearance than the GS500 but I don't have one hear to compare. I have firearms for a potential trade. I have a trade-school certificate (two year program) as a gunsmith and I mention that because I never buy sell or trade junk.

This has been for sale since before I bought my GS last February. I had inquired about it, but he never got around to sending me any photos (all he had posted on the CL ad at the time was the stock photo). I was looking for something pretty much ready to ride, and I wasn't going to drive a couple hours to look at a bike that the seller couldn't even send me pictures of.

Fast forward almost a year and a half...for $800 it sounds like a pretty good deal on a complete bike. If I had the time, money, and space for a project, I'd be really tempted. It sure could make for a nice looking bike given some TLC...

- Selling 1993 Suzuki GS500E -
Professionally cleaned and tuned carburetor
Regularly maintained (at least while I've had it)
Great runner and perfect starter bike that can still hustle!
Approx. 9500 miles on it, no internal problems - only small cosmetic damage.
Gas tank is has small dent on the left side would be the main one, and some paint chipping
on the back of the front fender - everything else is just useage wear, you know how it is.
Wheels and tires are still clean and solid, brakes have been done.
Just needs some TLC, only selling because I want to get a bigger bike.
Will include the Clymer manual (teardown & rebuild) with it.
If you want to test ride it please have your endorsement, and be cool with me
holding your license while you're on your ride. (just because I've hear horror stories
about jacked bikes) Sold as is, any questions shoot me a text.
CLEAN AZ TITLE IN HAND!
