[nathan12]

I saw a Gs for sale today on the way home. I fell in love at first site. It seems to be a gs 1100 E? 16 valve, chain drive, vance and hines exhaust, all allen head case and top end bolts, 9500 miles on the clock. very clean. He wants $1500.00 for it. he was not home, so did not here it run. Sound reasonable to anyone else?

Uh ..... yep

Buy it unless it makes really loud clanking noises and smoke comes out.

Uh ..... yep

If it runs well and looks pretty clean thats more than reasonable. If it needs a lil work, its still a pretty fair price, depending on whats wrong. Of course no one will EVER beat the deal MRiddle got on that 81 1100 of his (and soon to be mine)

Are you getting the same kind of good deal?

Not as good, but still a good deal IMO. Its worth it to me. Its a hell of a nice example of the breed, and nearly flawless.

Sounds about right. What year ? Pre 83 there was a crankshaft twisting issue. Talk to the guy and get some history. If he wont let you ride it ask him if he would ride along side you so you can see it in motion. What color ? The Red ones are worth twice as much as the blue or silver.

If it runs and has a title, I'd buy it for $1500. If it doesn't run and has no title, I'd still buy it but would offer between $300-400.

[nathan12]

It looks like it has been painted, though really well, a matte goldish silver color. Not sure the year. Will check on that.

[nathan12]

OK, looking at pictures online, seems to be about a 1980.

For what it's worth, I took mine for a short spin a while ago, it's a pretty darn nice bike considering it sat for 23 years and has had nothing done to it yet.
Fast and smooth.

i paid 3k for my 82 1100e 15k on her

Is it a round headlight or rectangular? Round is 82 & up & rectangular is 80/81. Unless the light has been changed. Ray.
