    Mecum & Barrett Jackson have always been questionable to me...But that's just me.

                  Nicer looking than any 18,000 mi. bike I've seen, really kept well...$6,600 I rekon 2 different folks must have wanted it pretty bad. Would a museum piece normally have 18,000?

                          $13,200....Wowzer!!!!

                          I was at this auction 2 years ago and it was very entertaining to walk through all the bikes in the area just before they are brought onto the auction floor.

                          Might have to go back next year.

                            That GS1100E was gorgeous. We sometimes forget what 6 grand buys you these days. Not much. Mostly unrestored and with only one owner..that's rare in itself. Nice to see these Suzukis bringing in some premium prices.
