I have a 1977 Suzuki gs400 cafe racer style motorcycle for sale. It is currently ct registered and it runs and drives great. The bike is a 6 speed with 15k original miles, and the motor is all original. The tank has been repainted, and I shortened the frame a little bit in the back, all the chrome is in good shape with minimal pitting or rust. Has low cafe style handlebars, can be turned back up to normal for your liking, and has all new custom headlight, tail light and turn signals. Bike has aftermarket air filter pods and I have a receipt of 900 dollars worth of carb work just done. I have put it in a show and had a good turn out of people looking at it and also gets a lot of looks going down the road. Bike runs and drives great. Looking for 2400 Or best offer. Selling for money to buy my friends car!! text me at 8602805915 or email me. No spam or scams please thanks

another GS400

I wouldn't pay more than $600 for this even with fuel lines, an installed petcock, and a new stator.

Yea, if the guy even responds to my txt, I'll probably pick the bike apart. Either he'll fold and I'll get it at a price that's worth taking or he won't. I have no problem walking away from it. I suspect the rear tire is shot too. It looks awful squared off in the pictures.

The entire rear fender and tail section are missing ,too. what a piece of crap. $100 max if it was me.

As are the signal lights, in the front at least. The back has something that might be a blinker, but I can't be sure. I figure IF (a big IF) I pick this up, it'll be cheap and end up a cafe. Too incomplete to restore. I've not gotten a reply back on my inquiry so I suspect he's not even going to bother with me. Probably looking to dump it on a chump.

I like that overpriced Honda. ice looking little bike.
Too bad it's an overpriced Honda.

2001 Suzuki GS 500 - $1100 (NE Portland Hollywood district)

Selling my bike 2001 Suzuki GS 500. I love this bike and it is very reliable.

Carbs where just cleaned, bought a new battery, I stripped the paint to get it ready for a new coat, and I also threw on some new cafe racer style mirrors.

I did how ever just have it towed and ran into a couple of other troubles. It isn't worth taking to a shop for me I am just tired of the hassle. The ignition is out due to a key snapping off inside of it (also why it was towed). Maybe an easy fix maybe not go ahead and give me an offer the easier you make it for me the easier I make it for you. Worst case scenario you buy a new ignition off eBay for $25.00 or a full set with new gas cap for 125.00

Make me an offer like I said the easier it is for me the easier I will make it for you. Please reply via text, if you cannot text email is a good bet, call if you must but make sure you leave a message as I rarely pick up numbers I don't recognize.

Well - sort of....

 

[duaneage]

Too much bourbon causes things like that.

 

[tkent02]

The price is too high.
About $1000 too high.

Well - sort of....

Ralph Nader wrote a book about this bike, 'unsafe at any speed'... seriously though, I can't see those rear strut bars holding up any amount of time at all before something lets loose.

I love how he says several times it gets lots of attention.. wrong kind of attention I bet..

 

[MAJikMARCer]

WOW, another pile of crap.

Every time I see these terrible bikes I hear Luke Skywalker after he first sees the Millennium Falcon.

What a piece of junk!

Check this guy out...he has been advertising this bike forever at this crazy price. I told him I admired his persistence but good luck. lol I guess I'm not the only one that feels this way. HEHE...

I'm not sure how the conversion rate effects thing, but while he might be a little high, it doesn't seem right for that other person to be flagging this guys listings. If he's getting buyers, even if his logic seems misguided to us, then why should the 'flagger' give a crap?
