Bump for one of the finest GSA’s built and in amazing condition
as an aside , a friend just purchased a Dino , paid £205k for it at a no-reserve auction .
he had offered the garage where it was , £370k , when they had it up for £425k.

Thats definitely an aside
He has said he is open to offers so I don't see an issue!
With that small amount of miles and condition, the avid bike collector will be eager to get a hold of it.
Surely a good investment for the future.
Bikes of that era are rising in price, as they become more rarer to find specially ones with such low mileage.
Long term advert, might attract that discerning enthusiast.

You are using the wrong forumla...... try 4 weeks in a care home at £2140 pw ... or £305 per day........that should put things in perspective ..... £9000 would cover you for 29.5 days
People will pay whatever they feel its worth to them i found for the right bike. If I had the spare cash I would buy the HP2 Megamoto and this bike to add to a collection.
For example a Ford Cortina Lotus someone paid 54k so depends on what you want. Only need one buyer rather than 40 tyre kickers. GLWTS

It only has 1050 miles .. fitted with a low seat, the original blue seat is still wrapped in plastic never been used .
needs recommissioning , I’d let it go for £5000 .. sorry for the thread highjack

So, why is a mint R80G/S mono selling for £12-15000?
Exactly
We’ve paid over £100,000 for Mum in a care home for the last 12 months
Now I am selling the house to fund the next £200-£400,000 of care home fees
Talking of which I’m considering having a clear out, what do you think my 1993 one previous owner R100GS with 5k miles is worth ?
£5 figs
And oilheads, even SEs are all about the riding rather than the look of them in you lounge or heaven forbid, hidden under a cover in the garage...
It's rare, it's crazy low mileage so sort of self values and you only have to look at the variety of prices for Airhead GS editions to understand that...
I’m sure I paid £8,200 for my R1150GS, basic bike, with heated grips & top box, no ABS. March 2001.
They were £8195 having been dropped from c £9995 as JB says above...the grey imports were killing main dealer pricing so they had to do something.
So would the rest of us, he's been tantalising us for years and even saw a pic a few years back
