Seeking opinions on price/mileage of GL650

for those of you that have M.B.S. (multiple bike syndrome) and have the "silver wing" models.
as our sponsors also have supplies for those bikes and they are popular with the "wing" crowd.

Seeking opinions on price/mileage of GL650

#1

Post by Ned »

Good day:

Saw an ad for an '83 GL650 with 63k miles. Asking price is $2300.

My first thought was "that's a lot of miles" but actually averages out to around 2500 a year and that certainly isn't terribly high.

I rarely see these for sale so don't have much of a feel for price; does this seem reasonable?

Thank you.

$2300 seems a bit high but if it's in good shape it might be OK. 63,000 miles isn't a lot for a CX type bike.

Asking price and selling price are two different figures.

I recently sold a very good CX650E for $800.00 :roll:

Offer him 1500.

Whoever you sold it to got a great deal. I sold an 80 CX500 with 51,000 miles last month for $1200.00. Thinning out the herd.

I sold it to Tony G on the CX site (Chopper Charles).

He's got a herd of them.
