Just came across this wreck on eBay and had a bit of a laugh at the description, thought one or two of you might enjoy it too!

Please note this auction has nothing to do with me and strongly advise AGAINST buying this lovely little GS! (Although if someone could bring it back to life, they'd probably be found here!)
lmao NICE!
:woohoo: ... sounds like a dream job for EJ! LOL
That poor GS :cry:
But for sure, an interesting description... nice find!!!
Its on a G plate so it first hit the road sometime between 1/8/89 and 31/7/90 and one of the first ones in the UK so in a way its something special :thumb: but without a v5 which proves ownership and registration its a big gamble. It could in the past have been stolen, cloned, ringed or written off.
Best thing to do with that is stick it in shed/garage for another 25 years and hope by then the GS5 has become a desirable classic that someone thinks is worth restoring because right now all its worth is its weight in scrap!!
In NY someone slap on some rim tape, and LEDs, and list it on Craigslist for $1000. With the following keywords: Streetfighter, Cafe Racer, Flat tracker, supermoto - no low ballers!
Bahahaha nynj!
lol its crazy here. I put street tires on my xt225 and everywhere I went someone would offer to buy it because they wanted a supermoto :confused:
Hmmmm that gives me an idea! ... if tyres define the bike...
Buy a cheapo cruiser, put those fatty Harley tyres on and sell it for a premium!
Sledge, was looking for a cheap bike for the girlfriend, made enquiries, fella said has lost v5 will have to apply for it myself... Ended that conversation pretty quickly!
Yep :thumb:....apply for it yourself and wait for Dibble to knock on the door and start asking questions.....been there seen it done it, never again :D
