TEWKS Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 I was seconds away from calling on this one but then I Googled 1980 GS 1100 E. Scammers! What's the hook here? Phone # is all they would get out of me. https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/mcy/6049571989.html Found what appears to be the real ad. Pristine example for sure and the price isn't crazy. https://www.smartcycleguide.com/L52293231 Pat Link to comment
lkraus Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 A Google image search finds that picture in many different cities. Sold via Ebay from Lewisville ,TX on February 13, 2017 by VJ Moto for $5601. Shipped to Mt. Dora, FL on February 22. Your link shows it in Denver and for sale again "1 month ago" for $2100. The description is identical to the Ebay ad by VJ Moto. VJ Moto, BTW, is a restoration company which makes the "pristine, 100% original" description a bit suspect. I suppose it is possible that VJ Moto bought it in early February and it was in such good condition they immediately resold it on Ebay, but then why is it still listed for sale in Denver?

Also needs drive shaft boot. There is some slight pitting on a small spot on the front rim and rear. " Other than those few problems, it is LIKE NEW! Link to comment
Bud Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Couple of deals on ADV rider today. 2008 KLR for $1,800 $1500...59,000 trouble free miles( I mean absolutely no problems ever) bike has $1600 in Farkles Cogent Dynamics rear shock-$520 Ricor Valves$160 Progressive Springs$80 Sargent Seat $320 Fork Brace$110 Madstad Windshield $280 Moose skid plate$110 Manual petcock$30. Have all stock parts. Bike was well maintained... oil changed every 2000 mi. Doo is done with the torsion Spring Valves adjusted at 48,000 mi. , everything looked GOOD no wear marks at all on anything. At 48,000 mi. I replaced the tension Spring on the Doo with the torsion Spring and all the rubber guides for the Counter Balancer Chain were good. Shinko700's at 50% New chain and sprockets... less than 1000 mi. At one time the KLR was my only bike hence all the miles. Bought a V Strom and buying aWR250R so selling the KLR. Bike is partially apart in the basement (winter maintenance) I'll put it together tomorrow and post some pic's. Located in Northeast PA http://advrider.com/index.php?attachments/img_1015-jpg.794469/ 1985 Honda XR250R twin carb model Jasper, IN $1850 http://advrider.com/index.php?attachments/img_2258-jpg.794105/ Hate to even part with it but I can't stand to see it sit either. Just not riding it enough. This bike has been in my family since new. It's never been apart mechanically. Runs and rides great. No rust on exhaust. It has the twin carbs.. I did Jet it up a little a few years ago when I put a new, more free flowing air filter in it. No mods to the air box. Pretty much unmolested. I do have the original hand guards. I'm asking $1850 firm. Might consider trades/partial trades. Located in Jasper, IN Link to comment

This one, barely 2000 miles per year, cost the owner a lot just to sit in a garage. Not criticism, just wondering. Yup. When a close friend died unexpectedly, I couldn't concentrate enough to ride safely (in my opinion). I had to park mine for a year and wait for the grief to pass. And it lets us cheapskates pick up good bikes for low cost. Link to comment
walton66 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Those are all valid reasons I had not thought about. I have been fortunate so far to avoid most calamities. I totaled a 94RS bout was relatively unhurt and rode the next day. This is an great example of the value of a forum like this, expanding my mind. Link to comment
