Bought as project ridden for some time and then due to changed personal circumstances has been lurking in my shed for about months. If was still living there would charge the battery and MOT it, but I'm not and it absolutely has to go. Please note you will need van or trailer to collect, and you are bidding to buy it, pay for it and take it away. I'm not going to be there until hand it over, so highly unlikely that you will be able to hear it running. Check my ebay feedback and take my word for it that it was running when parked it up (or don't!).
As per photos it needs love but is all there and running. put the black wheels on from much newer GS500 on (with newer discs too) and you can take the white ones to have them powder coated in fluorescent purple if that's your thing.
New fuel lines, rebuilt the carbs, replaced the drive to the speedo which solved the oil misting on the front of the engine (haven't washed it off though)!
I prefer this GS with the clip on handlebars to the later ones, and it would make cracking little cafe racer. also have hugger from something like 600 bandit which isn't fitted but looks like it might.
Clearly it's rusty and tatty, but is dying for someone with the time to make use of it could be really cheap, fun project. No reserve and no buy it now offers either. Don't bid if you don't want it and aren't going to pitch up promptly and remove it.
Paypal or cash on collection following ??50 Paypal deposit. No won't export it to the back end of nowhere or swap it for some magic beans.
