I have 3 moderately undesirable bikes and won't split them. Doesn't have the time or space. Hoping to find someone who can fit, or even transport 3 large bikes.

FFS, just list the best one cheaper. If someone buys it offer him the rest, you might get lucky. . But don't take down the auction, change the photos and reduce the price. Repeat.

hahaha... thats such a irritation with you aye... hey look the guy has a passion for the gs650, good on him, pity he thinks there is someone else out there with the same passion LOL...

Yep, the money he is asking is resonable, but……….
Teapot collection…

there will be someone out there, that shit is becoming gold when rego is taken into account, $58 a year is a strong attraction

One with rego on hold is the seller there, a going bike is worth the asking price, and the rest do what you like with it.

Anything vaguely functional in that age range is going for around that money, so while the purists might not see them as the most desirable of the breed there is still a market for a serviceable motorcycle of that era.

I had a couple of mates with them back in the day when they were cheap, and were short of money in between bikes. Heck I had a 550 when I was 19. But geez, why try sell 3 at once? It's at least 2 trips unless you have a monster trailer. It limits your market because you stubbornly insist they cant possibly be split apart especially after losing their mother in that forestry accident. Fuk sake.

Probably why they're still for sale.

Trouble is if you sell the one that has live rego, you're just left with a bunch of bits that's not worth the effort to get back to legal for the road.

So basically you're punting on finding a person with enough transport and garage space for the whole lot, otherwise it continues to sit in your garage.
