Are these bikes worth anything? I like them because I remember them from when I first started riding. He also had a Bandit which I was unable to get! I was actually looking for a cruiser - sport/cruiser since I live 100miles from anywhere and gas is no longer cheap. My brother is not into the sporty bikes, would prefer a cruiser type.
Here is the condition of the bikes. All three have been sitting for a while, so they need whatever that entails - brakes redone etc.
gs550es
seems complete except for the key and side panels. Comes with a spare engine, exhaust and a 4-1 exhaust.
gs750e
have everything except gas cap, gas level sender and petcock. I have the E fairing that has had a repair, looks good on the outside. I also have a usable es fairing that I planned to mount instead of the E fairing, need to get the bracket.. Has fox shock. extra side panels with broken tabs, two extra sets of carbs and a third extra set for a different bike, stage 3 jet kit
gs700es
I started taking some parts off of this bike to put on the 750 so it is missing the throttle grip. I also took the stainless brake lines off and put on the 750 so it needs new stainless brake lines. I am missing the fuel tank cap, not that it matters because the tank is pretty dented and needs to be replaced. Rest of body is great, including the rare Lockhart lowers! Have extra broken side covers and fairing, a couple seats that were carved on for a custom seat, extra exhaust.
Have a lot of spare parts. There was an extra set of forks that had risers that were taller then the ones on the bike so I put that on the 750, a lot more comfortable position, new engine cover etc
Which to keep, if any? Will a gs700 or 750 work as a sport/cruiser in Az? Will these bikes be able to handle the temps here (today is 111)? I know my brother is not going to be happy with the 550, which is kinda my favorite.
I have had several bikes through the years, but I have not ridden in a while. Last bile was a '97 zx9r, so this is my last frame of reference.
