Title: 1996 gs 500 for sale needs new engine $600
Post by: Levi on April 01, 2009, 06:31:53 PM
I've got the above mentioned bike w/ clear title for sale.  Last year i think i broke and dropped at least one valve in the motor.  I haven't broken it open but i'd count on just picking up a new motor.  there's a nice one on ebay right now.  also i've found some at salvage yards for around $550 but decided i don't want to mess with it.  Bike has 19188 miles on it.  i put about 9000 on it myself.  it was a great bike until motor broke- did a 4000 mile trip from nashville to maine and back two falls ago.  thought i had pics at home but must be on the computer at work.  will try to add them.  Physically in good solid shape- not wrecked.  tank has been kreamed.  paint is ok but not great.  new chain but needs at least a new rear tire. 

location is nashville, tn.

not interested in trades.

thanks,

ok, i found pics but looks like i have to jump through hoops to get pics posted on this site so if interested shoot me an email and i'll return w/ pic.

ok, you've got first dibs but wouldn't count on it- don't have the time to part out though i'm sure i'd come out much better.

I thought this was reasonable- no takers so far. Am i really off in asking price  :icon_confused: Would I be better parting out?

Nachoville is 450 miles from me. I have atleast 3 GR motors buzzing around like a bumble bee wanting to jump into a GS frame ... though its not a slam dunk dropping em in the frame. OK OK only 2 ... fine, happy now.
So, $600 isn't gonna make me come there and get it ... so name your $$ ... but remember, 450 miles ... 450 ... 4 .... 5 .... 0 ...
But then you would be famous ... GR ... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ...
Cool.
