Despite the great price, its much more a money thing than location. :icon_sad:

Very nice bike... Love that swing arm! Why you letting it go so cheap? - Bob!
I think it's about right, from looking at what race bikes are going for in CA. Dedicated non-street bikes are a smaller market. There's nothing wrong with it; it had a few issues when I bought it (fairng brackets wonky, charging system not working), but I fixed them (new stator, new brackets). It's ready to roll.
For those who are asking about how to fit the swingarm and the forks and the like on a GS500 - there's a reason I bought it after Sonny did all that. ;)
Hey can I have that thing hanging off the right side.. :D .. the red and black one..... :embarrassed: JK, makes me miss my GSXR 750 track bike, about the same extent of work done, but like she said dedicated track bike dont sell for much. I only got 3 grand for mine, and it was scarry insane fast.....
theres a bolt missing from your rear rotor?
:o
Three bolts only on the rear rotor - that's all the little GS needs. We'll put in more bolts if you want to add unspring weight.
Bump, lowered price.
Bumpity.
Seems like such a good deal....59 hp....WOOT! Fastest GS in the world.
It's not just that it goes - it also stops and turns.
The price isn't going to go down much as a whole bike. I'll part it if there's interest.
Someone in a state that's more laid-back than CA could probably get it plated.
i want the fe and rear sets. lol its an awesome bike and super great deal for the coin

If you decide to part it I'll take the steering damper (if it doesn't get sold with the FE)
It really is worth more as a full motorcycle; it's had a lot of time and effort put into making it an integrated, I-4-embarassing whole, and it will take a lot of time and effort to make the bike the parts are put on half as good.
Since it's a Buddha Loves You to part a bike, I'd ask more for the parts in toto than I would for the whole bike.
If I get legitimate interest in the engine and carbs as well as the suspension, I'll do it.
nooo, don't part it! Its so beautiful. I'm sure you can find a buyer. Let it live!
I sure would like to. You could spend 5x what I'm asking on a GS and not get the bike set up as well. It's not just the parts - it's the development, and a handful of local racers have been on this bike and sorted it out well.

That is one beautiful GS. Too bad the price is approximately equivalent to the taxes I just paid :technical:. If this is still for sale in a month or so, I'm driving up there and taking it off your hands for sure.
If you mean it, I'll hang onto it. I'm not in a hurry to sell, and I'd rather see it sell as a whole.
How hard would it be to convert this back into a street bike?
(Forgive my ignorance!)
I was thinking the same thing. Because that's a steal. In NH it would be tough. I hear that in California there is no inspection so you need lights and signals and probably that's it, but I wonder if it is worth it, as it is a track bike and it would be a shame and the wrong compromises for a street bike.
I still can't get over how cheap it is to race bikes, I used to race a sports car and that seems to cost a lot more money.
sports car? by that do you mean street cars called sports cars, or did you race closed-wheel purpose built sports cars? because then thats sick!! SRF? F500? FSCCA?
Doing track days on bikes are almost as cheap as autocrossing.. and MUCH more seat time :)
Nope, converted street cars, basically relegated to trailer queen status. Mine had plates but that was only for cheap quasi legal transport to the track. Even that is expensive enough.
P.S. sorry for the threadjack!
Guilty of threadjacking myself, so I can hardly complain. :) I'm not sure what it would take, and I don't want to give bad information.
Ja, bike racing is way, way cheaper than car racing. Even just car tracking. I used to track cars, and my hubby used to race cars semi-professionally, but we've both gone to racing bikes instead because the bike, upkeep, and race entry costs are so much lower. The bang-for-buck factor is startlingly high - as is what you learn. I found that increasing my skill set on a moto involved pushing my comfort level, and being in that competitive situation made me push myself like just riding track days didn't.
You haven't ridden on the track until you've ridden a bike that is set up right for the track.
Price adjust.
