Obviously the new rear shock adds $4000 to its value

This is like shooting fish in a barrel. They were about 2k new 20 years ago and a cheap and cynical rip off retro. OK hack around going to the shop bike.

Kinda pretty, gutless bike.

A styling exercise on a budget bike. They are OK to bop around the suburbs but gasping on motorway. There were fruggin squillions of them dumped here and sold off cheap.
About $800 used to be the going rate. The 500 was worth more, but same everything budget sort of bike.

I have to say - I quite like the look of it....
Not that I would ride it (I would look silly on it), but definitely like the look of it for someone else.

My thoughts perzactly. AFAIK the GB never really sold that well new? I do like the look of them, but they really are nothing special.
One with an XR lump would do the job okay, enough poke for a few wheelies

In the 80s & 90s & even now Suzuki & Honda et all used NZ as a dumping ground for bikes that were stacked in warehouses in Japan. That's why we got DR400s, XT400s, XZ400s & the like. Wasn't all bad we got RG50s & also FXR150s/RG150s presumably from Thailand.
Honda dumped all the unpopular explosive MVX250s I remember seeing lines of them at Sawyers in wgtn whilst on the schoolbus. GBs were dumped here sort of a one time deal there were heaps, but not like they were imported for years, just a 'here's heaps try get rid of the things'. Couldn't move for them, same with Suzuki Impulses. RF900s were imported normally for like 17k & then they started dumping US & Euro ones of various spec14k, 13k, 12k, 11k. I knew someone who'd bought a full price one, not impressed. Especially as they are a pucey bike. Don't buy one.
Being singles the GBs eventually were revved crazy, run dry, died & were bought by wreckers for very little money & engines (which killed starter clutches) were picked over & the rest weighed in for scrap ally.
Cheap & cheerful fun, but disposable. A classic? Nah, no more than a Kawasaki Zephyr & nobody remembers them.
I admire your 'save now before buy' policy, lived that way my life. You just have to be careful of too many projects while you are young & poor.

Those GB400 and 500's are very sought after in the UK. Not sure why
