Ive decided to sell my first bike, and go on to my second bike. I had it for a bout a year but now that i feel comfortable riding on the street i want to purchase a supermoto. Nothing against you guys...haha
its a 2001 GS500E, and in great condition. The guy i bought it from had the engine rebuilt and ive only put on about 1,000 or so miles. Total miles read around 22,000. Paint is perfect. frame is perfect. tires were replaced 500 miles ago. Just replaced oil/oil filter. Only thing that is mildly bad is that it has that hovering idle thing every now and then. Other than that its a great bike...just not a sueprmoto.
I paid 2,000 a year ago, do you still think i can get that out now? I hope at least 1,800$.
Depends on where you sell it
look up other prices for similiar bikes in the same region ;)
Sounds fair. I got my 01 for 900$ bucks but she has been beat to sh$#. In mint condition with new tires I'd say your in the ballpark it you live in the right neighborhood.
I'll give you 2 packets of chips, a pack of gum and a chuppa chup. :thumb:
just give me the chuppa chup and i'll be happy :cheers:
where are you located at?
a bit off topic, but what supermoto are you looking to get? I picked up my 01 gs500 to KEEP from putting any more street miles on my Husqvarna SMR...............
Im located in Manhattan Beach, CA
and im looking at either a Drz400sm, or a Husqvarna sm610. I know a lot of supermotos break down easy, but i heard nothing but good on these. My friends dad had a xr650, the only bad thing about that bike is that it would take forever to start up on the kicker. Might llok into the XRs too...
the drz and husq 610 are decent all around bikes that have a pretty lax maintenance schedule. My husq 510 SMR is an awesome track bike with a very intensive maintenance schedule, and the GS500 fills the street commuter void quite well.

your in cali, prices for things are weird compared to the midwest.
some cars over in the midwest might be worth $600 but over in CA its like $3000. Same goes the other way. You bring back something rust free and its worth a lot more.
I figure CA normally has 50 degrees weather so you COULD ride all season and prices are higher. Ask what you put in to the bike, if you did mods, cleaned it up, added upgrades and go from there. You should be able to get $1500-2500 for it.
