How much would you honestly part with your Gs for if you got offered?

$4 grand and I wouldn't even blink

6 grand.  But I do love her

As much as it would cost to replace it, as I have it.

Seeing as I'd like a new one (not buying another 2nd hand one), then it'd be the cost of a new one plus the added costs of the added things on the bike.

Titled project bikes- $500

12 grand without thinking.

Not for sale. Not that it's worth a ton. I just don't have that much in it, and it works great. So If I keep it it only costs me gas and insurance. Which isn't much.

$1250 Today.... Will pass MD inspection... 92 with 91 Bodywork....

The VX's can go too...so can the 92 Seca...will probably keep the ZX11

Almost feels like a for sale thread...

First of all, a rich person is not going to offer anyone anything for a GS 500, a rich person, if he is bike inclined, will get one of his aids to go to the dealer and pick up a brand new Busa.

No way.  I would not wish my bike upon anyone else.  He'd sue me.  It has a seriously rashed-up pipe and gravel peppered tank.

I've already had one person offer to buy my bike for his wife, but I had just installed the heated hand-grips.

Oh, I don't know, there are some seriously dopey people out there (and some of them have a Lot of money)...

One guy saw me and Twisted's bikes parked up and we were talking. He came on over and kind of reminisced how they don't make bikes like this any more, how it's good to see these old classics still getting around, etc. I don't think he had a lot of money though.

Ah yes. Logic. Thanks putting that out there ojstinson.

But I would ask the rich person for $19,000 because that is exactly what it would cost me to replace my tired DL1000k6 with a new Super Tenere, and then replace my 07 GS500F that I just sold him with a new 2011 GS500F.

Makes sense, no?

Now why didn't I think of that----makes perfect sense.

Because you always get those few rich people with more dollars then cents and it also doubles as a loyalty test for you and your Gs.

Loyalty. . .
I would agree auss.
I like the GS500 as a practical all-around commuter rig but I know there are some here that have an emotional bond with their GS.
Not just any GS, but "their" GS.



What's not to like? Ya almost want to hug the lil' bugger.

5 grand and I'd be happy.

I always talk to my car and bike, I make sure to treat em equally so either one doesn't get jelious.
