    1981 Suzuki GS650L on BaT....

    Yes an "L" on BaT

    Bid for the chance to own a No Reserve: 1981 Suzuki GS650L at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #42,501.


    Will be curious to see how much it sells for....

    Probably a lot! Just recently there were two 1986( I think) Honda XR 80's. Nothing really special about them. They sold for $13,000!!!! I couldn't believe it. I was thinking of putting my 79 1000e on BaT. I know I could get $5-6,000 for it.
    Did you see the Bimota? It hovered at around 25 grand all week. Then in the last hour it jumped to 70 grand!
    I love Bring a Trailer, you can learn a lot about different vehicles. What I don't like is the nit picking a-holes that aren't even bidding on the vehicle anyway. Like here, I like to keep my comments light and positive. 👍

      The guy says the stator has been replaced. More importantly has the Rectifier been replaced and with what? Date codes for the tires would be another question... I'm starting to sound like one of them a-holes I was talking about! Haha🙂
      I guess I could ask. Then end my comment "awesome bike, my neighbor had one just like it GLWS"

          Date codes don't matter on those tires.

          They are Kenda Challengers and need to be replaced IMMEDIATELY.

                  $3000! As in Three Thousand Dollars! Can you believe that? This is sure reassuring to know. My retirement portfolio might be coming together after all... Lol🙂

                      So what is the general consensus the bike is, or should be worth...........

                      Having recently bought my 650E and live down under where bike prices would make you guys cry....with happiness....all the way to the bank. ...I'm interested to get your take on the value of these models

                        Just my thoughts, & I'm wrong a lot, the "E" models should be worth, no should bring , 33% more than an "L" model. The cruiser style bikes just aren't near as sought after even though the quality is the same.

                          In my opinion, the extra effort the seller made in listing that bike paid off in spades.
