Posted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 6:42 am Post subject: how much would you pay for an 1985 Suzuki gs700e
So, I have a gs700e and I got it as a starter bike.
I know how rare of a bike this is and I have had many people see me on it and tell me all about how many memories this bike brings back and they tell me all about the history of it.
So I was wondering, how much someone would be willing to pay for it.
I know that someone who really knows the history of this bike and can respect where it has come from would appreciated it more than I would. Now don't get me wrong, I love this bike and treat it very well. I am just saying im sure someone wants this particular bike more than I do. I wouldn't mind getting a slightly newer bike to ride around.
SO here is what I know about the bike, starting a while ago and working to me.
Three owners ago(Possibly the orginal owner):
Had the bike and put about 20k miles on it. Treated it well, rode often and spent time with it.
Sold to next owner for whatever reason . . .
Next owner(2 owners ago):
Bike sat in a parking lot for 12 years . . .
lost interest and sold to his brother in law
Previous owner:
spends almost two years fixing the bike, replaces almost all of the rubber parts(I cant list them all, I dont remember . . .)
got it to pass inspection and in working condition.
Had to make car payments so had to sell the bike
Me:
Using as a starter bike, have not dropped or mistreated the bike.
Replaced tires and break pads
replaced the clutch cable and have an extra
Rust remover on all the old rusted spots and am trying to get them to a black color instead of this nasty rust red, it is working fairly well.
Ganna do an oil change on the next warm day we get.
I ride it every day it is warm and atleast once a week even if it is not warm to keep the cabs clean.
