    What is the value of a mostly stock running 15,000 mile 79 GS1000E ?

    I am thinking of selling my survivor bike......it has been perfect up until last fall when the tee between the center carbs started leaking.....i have added a couple pictures....i have the correct headlight on it now.....

    Thanks and Peace IM003091.jpg

        You might want to list location and title status.

        Just a guess, but I'd start at $3000, unless you are in a big metro area, in which case I'd bump it another $500.

              Over here, for some reason, they never acquired a classic bike status, unlike CB750 or Zed's

                  Wow! Your bike is beautiful. I don't know enough about these models, but it sure looks 99% stock, and in great shape. And it has pretty low mileage.
                  I agree with Ed, $3,500 (assuming you correct the T leak - more desirable if it's 100% turn-key). It's very nice.
