    1983 GS1100e

    I have a 83 GS1100e, red, 12,000 miles, been sitting awhile. I would say its a 6 out of 10. Runs, all original and complete. Clean title. I want to sell it. Can someone tell me roughly what to ask for it. Thanks

      Bike could be worth $3K or $250.

      A wide range but like was said, need pics to make better analysis.

      my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)

        6 out of 10 is pretty bad for a bike with 12,000 miles. Is the tank dented?

        If no dents and the paint is decent (been sitting inside) I would say $1000-$1500 for a running GS1100ED is a reasonable range. Assuming it is not abused and original, then the number could/ should climb, although the North East has some pretty low numbers for such bikes compared to So Cal for instance.

        You should wash the thing and take closeup pictures and a video of it running and a walk around. That will bring top dollar.

          I was going to say between $2 and $3k, off the top of my head.

          On the downside, only 6 out of 10, and if it's sat awhile, how do you know it's running?

          Upside, 12k is very low mileage, and the '83 (red) 11E is arguably the most desirable of the air cooled Superbikes.

          Of course geography, season, and plague all play a role. But anything less than $2k for a running 12k 11ED is bargain basement.

              bear these things in mind, too: 1. We are cheap b@ztards here. 2. The market for buying bikes right now is in the same place all those non-flushable wipes are; in a big fatburg in the sewers somewhere.

                      I should post my barn find GS1100ED, it has 600 miles but is only a 3 out of 10. What do you think it is worth?
