Gs1100es

[glib]

There’s an obvious difference in valuation from those who actually like these particular bikes and those who just look at them as another bike against the vast choices available. And that has to be taken into consideration because the population of enthusiasts is shrinking with time. But we’re not talking trading stocks here. No bike is a liquid investment with an instant value available from waiting buyers. Over a year’s time you can find really good deals for either buyer or seller and just fair deals for both. But in general, absent a distressed seller or over anxious buyer, I think my assessment of the market (well down the thread now) is fair.

(BTW, what’s the value of a ugly, beat up V&H exhaust that sounds mean as hell?)

All valuable feedback, guys. I'm aware of what goes into getting older bikes back in the game. Not that I had to do much to it, really, but this is my 1990 Honda CBR1000F (Hurricane). I bought it a couple years ago with just 7k miles on it. It just turned over 20k last week. If I can buy the GS for ridiculously low money, and I think that I can, I will. The seller is fairly unavailable so it may take a while just to get time with him, but I'll keep you guys posted as to how it goes. I appreciate everyone's time and input. Great forum here.
