    Mecum Vegas 2025

    I'm not seeing many Suzuki GS bikes for sale at mecum, I think there are a couple Katanas coming up and a Wes Cooley GS1000 sold for $12,650 earlier.

            Two successful guys each having briefly owned one of those when he was younger, and both needed it to re-live their youth.

                "Two successful guys". Hard to imagine anybody making decisions to give that money for that bike could ever become successful.

                    How does one track what bikes sold for? I would love to know what the going rate of a nice Kat is.

                        View the 1982 Suzuki GS1000SZ Katana for sale at Las Vegas Motorcycles 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada as F124.


                        nice $16,500, and it's missing stuff, that will help with getting mine appraised.

                          That bike has (low) 515 miles. It's, presumably, original, not a restoration. Two things that add value.

                            restored or unrestored, someone has been into it, it's missing air box covers and the air box, rubber boot dial covers on shocks, some goofy spring contraption on the choke, possible aftermarket windscreen (no GE logo). Heat storage or not, after 40 plus years with oem brake fluid in the brakes and anti-dive system would be fuzzy and chunky, this system looks nice, someone had to have cleaned up all that. I am just saying it's a nice bike but it has its flaws and it still went for $16,500. Yes the low miles offset some of those short comings but still, for that kind of money i would expect a more whole example.

                              Makes one wonder..., does the new owner know all the bikes flaws?
