GS1000 FS / FT I'll take what I can get for it at this point

[JBartolucci4]

For sale I have an early 80's (not exactly sure right off) GS1000 for sale. I originally bought it because the soon to be wife is an aspiring air brush artist and we were going to use it as a starter project. Well as most things do other things took priority and now we are staring down a little more than a month before the wedding and funds are running low.

It's not a terrible bike, someone tried to do a kentucky paint job on it, so a some paint work would make it really sharp. Has a stage 3 jet kit in it as well as the performance air cleaners (came with the jet kit), and a Vance and Hines header. Has new brakes as of last season, and new tires the year before that. I just put a new battery in it this year as I figured no one would even look at it if the battery is junk. Has 31,XXX miles with a full maintenance history.

At this point I am just looking to get whatever I can out of it, I traded a gun and a boat for it when I got it. I have it for sale on a local car lot for $1500 - which of course is over priced but I will take anything reasonable to help out with the wedding. Might even be able to work out a trade for a decent smaller bike and include the Glock 22 I have in another posting (of course this would be a "wedding present" to the soon to be wife - or at least thats how I would spin it to her.) She really wants a litte sporty bike to ride around with me on, here is the other posting http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=62696

Sweet. All that thing needs is a flat black rattle can job, drag bars, solo seat and a cherry bomb!

Those things are actually pretty bullet proof and make great starter bikes. Do you have an exhaust for it?

No, I never did, It's not terribly loud as it is, It is within ridable noise.

Damn, I wish I had the cash for this right now. I could do something sweet with that thing-- I know how much I love my GS750, and a 1000 would be that much cooler.

My buddy is having me sell a 1982 Kaw 440ltd. the right size for smaller guys or a lady, plenty of pep (belt driven), and if she is an aspiring painter it comes with three tanks. A Sporty tank which is currently on it, a stock tank that has a few small dents and another stock tank which is perfect and already primed just waiting on paint.

Damn. I wish I had expendable funds, because that is just what I am looking for to get my dad. Looks clean (in a beat to shit kinda way ) GLWS and even better luck on getting married!

[jbot]

so what is "reasonable"? cause people are saying they would be all over it if they had the funds, so clearly $1500 is way over board. is the "real" price closer to like $750?

[TwiztedRabbit]

i have a buddy that might be interested in it for like 500

[JBartolucci4]

I had a guy offer me $1000 and never came though on the deal. $800 seems like a reasonable price to me to let it go for what it is. I have a little over $900 in it, so if someone can come up with $800 they can ride it home.

I have a friend who is into the GS bikes. I'll give him a heads up on this. In Galion too.

so does it run reliably? everything works, etc? the only thing wrong being the horrendous homosexual paint job?

the reason i ask is cause i'm considering buying this for my old man for his bday present and while he SAYS he's ok with a fixer upper, i think if it had actual problems, it would just sit in his garage and then i'd have to sell it for him later.

as far as price, that's a lot closer to what i would believe is realistic, but i'm sure we can find a middle ground somewhere if it came to that.

[JBartolucci4]

just give me a call and come look at it, take it for a spin. 740 398 2112.

[jbot]

err, i'm kinda far, so we'd probably have to finalize details before i could justify making the trip out there.

i'll give you a call sometime this week.
