MM price $2000. This has seen a few track weekends, but a recent valve adjustment and confirmed good compression, and I think it's ready for a whole lot more. Tires and brakes have 3 track days on them.

Oh sweet mother of god I'd give three left nuts to have this.

If its still around in July (which I seriously doubt it will be), I'll be on it like a fat kid on a cupcake, but I gotta make some summer money before I even think about buying a bike.

You're too tall for a bike. :mrgreen:

well actually, it didn't sell right away and my brother decided he wanted to "lease" it from me... so he'd riding it now and might buy it. Assuming he doesn't crash it, and decides not to buy it in another couple months, it's all yours.

[SlimKlim]

Well then in that case, ill get back to you in a couple months. :-)

Well it's been more than a few months....
BUT, my brother has moved on to a V-Strom. Anyone want a cheap GS500 that still runs great? I am really tempted to buy it but I think I'll pass. Tell me if you're actually interested, bike is still located in Roanoke.

Holy hell, I'll say.

So if the MM price was $2k 5 years ago, accounting for depreciation, how does $20 sound?

Yeah and now it's not on track tires, and front one needs replacement soon I think. And it's got a bunch more miles on it and probably a few more scratches. But it's still sprung for a decent size person, rides well and sounds great, at least when I took it out late last year. :dunno: I would be surprised if he got more than $1200 for it though, I have no idea. It is like 13 years old.

Hey I have a friend who's interested in this thing, what's the full scoop on it? Miles? Recent Maintenance? Asking Price?

23500 miles
Just routine maint, nothing interesting. Tires are fairly new but front has a slow leak.
No other known issues, no oil leaks
Asking $1600

Thanks, deets have been passed along. He sounds interested but NOVA to Roanoke is a bit of a haul for a bike. I'll letcha know.
