I hope he sells this bike and then never touches another motorcycle again.  This is motorcycle abuse plain and simple, strip his M endorsement, ban him from fiberglass, plywood, and rattle can purchases, break out the tar and feathers, pitchforks, torches, etc. etc., etc

An update!  Economic reality has started to sink in with our hero.  I especially like that the ad reads "$3999 FIRM" but the subject line is $3500.  

Seeing as how the local dealers have offered new GS500's for $5K or so, I'm thinking our boy may have this one for a while...

And yet someone bought it at the BIN price. Is scrap metal that valuable now?  

Nope re-listed starting at $500 with the BIN at $995 again.....  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261058391834#ht_500wt_879

GS500F is on my list of "possible" bikes. I saw that ad and was VERY confused. Some people have no concept of what their bikes are worth.

that's a 1200 Motor .1250's are liquid cooled .  He may have bored it out and put  the wiesco 1257 pistons in it.

Still looks like total shit to me though .

Ah, head scratching has ended.  

[Redbandit14]

Ah, head scratching has ended.  

technically the oil cooler IS a radiator though.

[dorklord]

technically the oil cooler IS a radiator though.

And tehcnically oil is a liquid...

Except that one time when I helped my buddy change the oil in his transmission. That was more like the consistency of peanut butter...

[jetapumper]

What a classic. He claims it's an orginal 64' CB450. Now if I only had $9000 lyin' around.

$9K for a Black Bomber?? Bit steep.

Yep a bit on the overpriced side, although there is someone out there with enough $$$ who just wants to relive their youth with "the bike" they had as a kid.

A guy down the way bought a 74 750/4 for $8k   (and it sounds like it is running on 3 cylinders )  "A fool and his $$"

Not CL, but a whole lot of GOLD

TRANSMISSION  . TAKEN OFF  R80 BMW R 80 RT AIRHEAD 1984 . IT IS NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW WILL IT FIT YOUR BIKE AND IS IT OEM OR AFTERMARKET PART. AND PLEASE DON'T ASK ME ABOUT MEASURMENTS. DON'T KNOW HOW TO MEASURE.

$1750 bux for a junk tranny?

Better yet, how about a bean can ignition for $850

Man, if I can sell airhead parts for that much, I am going to dismantle the bike and sell it. Should be able to buy a new GS when done
