    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

All potential, not practical. That stuff will hang for years unsold.
My point is, you made a cavalier comment that the asking price was not out of line. In fact it would take a lot of work and time to take it apart, and years to sell any of it, and the probable total profit may amount to $0.

cavalier? hardly just logical...I have first hand knowledge of two bikes that were sold for parts, a '84 cb750F, stripped and sold for parts in a week for a minimum $1K ...and a ratty CBX parts bike that sold for $2.5K, it was gone in a week as well...I should have bought the cbx when it was offered to me for $2k... carbs alone will sell for 1-1.5K, running engine 2-2.5K...I could've bought it kept the carbs for myself and sold the engine for 2K...

Is that a complete GS in the listing we're talking about? Or just a stripped and chopped frame, 2 wheels with discs, engine, fork, and what else? Gas tank from what?
Maybe you're smart enough to purchase that bike, and sell the parts? :rolleyes:

At least the rear shocks are still there! It actually looks kinda like a Tim Burton creation. What a mess though.

1980 Suzuki GS850. Currently not running but the engine is in good condition. Was reworking the carbs and have a lot of new parts invested. Great project bike (rat rod style). I just dont have time to put into it anymore. $700.00 OBO.

This is marked down to $300 if anyone needs parts.
 
I bet the price drop is because he can't get it to run. Note the "reworking carbs"comment
 
Funny thing is... that's exactly what I though when I saw it... except I work about 13 miles from work.

-I'd still ride it to work though. -
