I paid $365 for my GS750L. It was not running, had a clean title and for the most part was complete. I would not pay $600 for a bike in the condition you describe, I think $350-400 is reasonable. To me it is better to pay a little more for a complete bike than one that is missing alot of parts. Motorcycle parts ain't cheap.
So far, I had to clean the tank, the carbs, make some electrical repairs, replace battery, recover the seat, new cables,exhaust, mirrors, grips and control levers. On a bike that has been sitting for along period of time I would also replace the tires and overhaul the brake system. Your safety depends on it.
I started the bike up for the first time this weekend and I can't wait to ride her. Still waiting on brake parts so hopefully I'll have her roadworthy in a couple of weeks.
Good luck on your GS restoration.
