Well, I know the guy and could pick it up cheap, as if 200 isn't already cheap. It is in ridiculously poor shape though but he said the engine turns.

$2,500 - That seat is horrible
I just got it back from the shop. It runs great. All the lights work. It does have some cosmetic issues:
The kick starter snapped off pretty much a week after I got it. It has an electric starter that works great.
There is a dent in the gas tank.
None of the electronics work other than the starter and the lights.
The rectifier has snapped off but is being suspended by metal wire.
The biggest problem is that neither the tachometer nor the speedometer gauge work. The bike tops out at about 60 mph anyway so you're probably not going be going much faster than 50 mph.1980/1981 GS450 - GS500 Cylinder + Piston Swap - "De-L'ed", custom seat, CB350 bits, 18" rear, etc.

I don't like it either, but it has more practical use than a stamp collection, or a beer mug collection, or an antique tractor that never does a job, or.........people spend billions of dollars on fluff and nonsense in this country.Comment

I recently was a "first responder" of sorts in an accident involving a bobber and a small car. Thankfully low-speed, on a intersection, with traffic lights. Haven't seen the accident itself, just the aftermath, but obviously the car was turning left, crossing bobbers track - which just got the green light, apparently. Broke guys' leg.
Pondering the whole thing afterwards, I was wondering whether the guy could've walked off with a few bruises only with a different seating position.#1: 1979 GS 550 EC "Red" – Very first Bike / Overhaul thread New here? ☛ Read the Top 10 Newbie mistakes thread
