Yup Trippy
and by that time if he has any sense He will have had more than £3000 worth of use and enjoyment out of it and kept it tidy and in good nick.

You lot just don't get it, do you ???
1st. They don't make 'em anymore.
2nd. They were a bit of a cult bike from day 1.{ Must be, because both Timmy and James have one}
3rd. They only made a few [ compared to all other GSA 1150's]
4th. It's why an 80g/s with a Dakar kit fitted on original delivery is worth loads more than a standard 80g/s. fitted with a Dakar kit later in life...{ V5 on Dealer fitted ones will be R80g/s DAKAR }
5th. In 5 years time it will still be a rare and desired 1150 GSA because of 1st reason....
HTH
They said that about the old GS basic back in 2001 when they were selling for £2.5k and the first G/S could be had for £1200 .
Just out of interest as a previous owner of an SE which if i remember rightly I paid £6k in as new condition back in the day … what are they selling for today then? I’d be super surprised to hear they have made the money like a PD or Basic did as some predicted.
Had one of each and if I could have one back it would be the PD every day of the week.
what does an SE do that a stock gs can't/won't do ?

Does it, by much?
I found this SE thread when I searched my name and basic as was looking for an old one about my bike. I then saw my post where I cast doubt on one other ‘experts’ prediction that they were the new basic or PD and prices would shoot up making them a great investment.
Having had the quickest of looks it would appear I may have been right and my £6k SE back then wouldn’t have gained value to the same extent as the other two or even my watch come to that.
