Optimistic sellers

[SaferRides]

It's not everyones cup of tea but if i saw a red GS5500EX like my first new bike i'd be very tempted, got way better bikes but did 36000kms in 18 months on it and it was a fine machine, my next bike did everything better but it didn't have that place in my life as the GS did

I had a blue one, one of my least favourite bikes. Maybe coming after a couple of 2-stroke triples didn't help, but it simply was not fun to ride.

At the time I could have bought a low mileage GS1000E for the same money, which would have been the better buy. But I wanted a new one.

This fucken wounder.

It might get 'looks' but not the good kind.

Interesting term, what is a wounder? Someone who self harms perhaps?

Equally it could be someone who wounds others. I'm imagining Chopper Read

Bot an optomistic seller yet, or even pessimistic but, what would be a fair price for a pair of Suzuki 1100s, one a 84 GS1100G and the other a 82 S1100GK.
Both are complete, run, have good seats, exhausts, tanks and side covers. Registrations on hold. Cosmetically ok but a long way from perfect. Also have a box of random spares including another engine lacking pistons or carbs. Getting too old (me) to finish

[pete376403]

That's drawing a long bow. To be fair, neither were stand out bikes eg "Classics'' in the making. What were you thinking ballpark ?

The only 'classic' bike I have is a zero hour CR500R bike sitting in the back of my shed. Been there for over 22 years.

I know they are not classics,just old UJMs and not expecting anyhting like your cr500 would be worth. I know they are only worth what someone will pay for them, thats why I threw it out here, as it seems to be where somehat knowlegeable people comment on prices. I also know I cant take them with me.

[F5 Dave]

Whatever you do, list them separately.

Ideally not at the same time. Not everyone wants two enormous bikes in the garage.

I got pretty good money for my 1100. Lordy, was that 20 year ago? Geez almost. Was a great tourer.

the value of those is largely in the rego year, $60 odd for a full year rego, none of this leave it on hold and miss a good day riding, GS's are good solid old gals too, someone will enjoy them

I dunno really. Not a self harm type though.

What does the collective reckon a 86 GSXR1100 is worth? Complete bike, tidy, all original.

I'm advised that a wounder is generally someone who likes old shit eg crap Mitsubishis.

Possibly some self- harm involved once the old shit is purchased

1st model. I'm no expert but if one fell into my hands I'd try auction it with 10k reserve. That was fairly ground (&bone) breaking bike, unlike a lot of the shite being touted as special price book.

Yeah, I kinda thought the same thing.

[F5 Dave]

Polish polish, take it to a nice venue and take good pictures then write something honest with a decent description.

All the opposite of most of the features on this tread.

Good luck.

I'd want to think in running condition around 12k each - advertised separately. Those are great bikes.

If you ever let the '84 go for 6K it would be a steal.

Somewhere between the two maybe?
