I'm looking to buy a GS500E. I'm not so much concerned about the years or mileage as I am about the condition of the bike (if I understand correctly, it didn't change too much over the years anyways, right?). I've been looking for one of these for a while, unfortunately the last time one showed up I didn't have the cash to spend. I'm looking to spend about $1500, less if it's beat up or needs work, and I could stretch maybe a little past that if the bike were absolutely mint. I'm living in Rochester at the moment, but I'd be willing to travel a bit.
If you have any questions, please post or PM me.
Thanks,
Rob
If you'd be interested in a decent trip there's one by me here in PA I seen online. Like I said it'd probably be a trip but it's and option is say. Here's the link in case you'd be interested.

Hey GI Joe,
I appreciate the response, but honestly it'd have to be a hell of a deal to get me to travel out of NYS. How do you guys deal with far away bikes anyways? Do you travel to see it, then pay a shipping company to bring it to your home? I brought home my first bike (a CB350-F) from Columbus, Ohio by stuffing it into the back of my friend's Jeep Grand Cherokee. That was a nightmare.

uhaul trailers are cheap to rent, and ratchet straps cheap to purchase.
I live by that posting, I went almost to Maryland for my bike. I just paid my buddy gas in his truck and we made the trip. Pulled the bike into the bed and made our way home.
ROB! A fellow Rochestarian! I'm about 20 minutes away...work downtown though. Sweet! I have actually seen a few come up locally on craigslist in the past few months, good chance there will be more. Just tough this time of year...but since I am local to ya I will certainly keep an eye out!
i am also a fellow resident of rachacha, will keep you updated if i find anything
Woah, this is weird. I was looking at buying a car in upstate NY.

And I'm looking for a buyer for my 93 GS so I can have money to buy that MR2.

Is my GS out of your price range?

Hey guys, I just wanted to update you all that I've all but bought an SV650 instead (guess I had my heart set on a Suzuki twin one way or the other- PO still needs to do some DMV title mumbo jumbo tho), but I appreciate you guys keeping an eye out for me.

Brian, that may honestly be the best looking GS I've ever seen on CL! Looks super mint. I caught your thread about it tho and I probably would've ended up taking off pink, so I don't think I'm the right owner anyways. Good luck with the car up in Syracuse.
Zmerica19- it looks like that posting got deleted before I could see it. I did see another GS500e actually pop up in Rochester, though, but the owner was asking $2500 and that seemed quite a bit overpriced
glad you found a new bike, would love to see photos!
