r80g/s

[peepingtom]

yeah i know I'm just trying to put across that you can buy such a beautiful luxurious car that was £150,000 with all the trimmings or an old 80g/s all be it a very nice one, but you get my point.
not sure it would be money down the drain , they'll have to go up one day , surely ??

id still have the g/s as my shed is only 8x5 and I've no off street parking

 

[peepingtom]

Kickstart sticks out too far - mines the same, haven't got to the bottom of it yet.

Clean bike tho'.

My kickstart sticks out like that as well, cotter's in the right way round, I've not got to the bottom of it either.

Mine's the same as well. A temporary solution to solve it is.............................

Great bike, nice parking spot.
There is a remedy.
Get a good chair, pour yourself two fingers of single malt in a glass, sit down in front of that bike and sip.
By the time you're done, you'll be in love all over again!

Nice bike, but missing the original standard engine protection bars..... Original only had side stand and RH pannier... Side stand was mouted on left hand crash bar
The center stand was an optional extra....

Shirley, if you have done the work on the bike or had the work done for you, you know what you have spent , so you have an idea how much you would like for it.

Or is this just another willy waving thread?.(in the wrong section)

I have been looking for either a G/S or a PD for the last 12 months. Decent ones don't come up very often. I got an 84 G/S last October. Paid over £4k. Mine was blue and is now white. (This evidently adds £500 to the value of the bike). Then spent cash on odd bits to get it sorted. You can convert it to a PD with a tank and seat etc, then all of a sudden it's worth £9k + ... Now that's magic.
NB - re the engine and frame numbers, they don't match, but you can date them to confirm they are correct.

With respect, you haven't got a clue what you are talking about.

 

[PW Cymru]

Must get mine sorted and running.

 

[Captain Black]

So what are you looking for to swap or trade ?

F 650 GS Dakar ? 748 Ducati , GSA 1150, R100R Classic, other other ?

 

[chrisshrops]

an airhead gs is not made of gold .
