WHY is it ??? every time you see an engine for sale they say it only has 12-15 K miles ?? I bought a GS1000G motor last year $125, cost me $150 in shipping!!!

No way to prove it either with the rest of the bike gone... I suppose if even only the crank were any good, under $300 is not outrageous. If the rest of the motor were decent, under $300 is not bad considering the price of new bikes these days.

And it was only driven to the grocery store and back every Sunday... :roll:

The guy ran a second ad to correct himself, claiming the motor is for a shaft drive bike. Did they even make a 1980 GS1k in the G model?

Well, you can't really prove the mileage on a GS even with the rest of the bike on hand. Our odometers are awfully simple to replace or reset.'

They sure did! I've got one!
