    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

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.

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.
 
Thanks for the help. I will get it washed. And take some pictures. And a video of it running. Great advise. Thanks again
 
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 had one of the people on this site offer me $1200 site unseen. That worked for me. Thanks All
 
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?
