Hey there y'all. I'm lookin at possibly pickin up a 1986 GSXR 1100. She's got about 20k on her, and is pretty grubby/icky. mid 20's kid owner that just rides it, instead of taking care of it. He's had it just maybe 2 seasons, but the amount of greasy dirty crud is something. I wonder if he ever even gave it a bath. At this point i know the brakes need going thru, cleaning, fluids, pads, etc. Tires, prolly chain and sprockets, Chain for sure. Prolly fork seals given he's a looner, but no visable major leakage on the forks. One can assume the plugs aint been changed, carb cleaned, air filter changed, oil changed, valves adjusted in forever. he dropped it slow speed and cracked up the left side front bodywork, but that's just cosmetic. general young kid stupid. I havent heard it run yet at this point, but i'm told it's still pretty darn skerry/snappy quick.
I am lookin for opinions on value, as is, all grubby/icky sad lookin, and if she was all clean and pretty with fresh paint and maint done. I know I havn't seen any of these listed for sale in the MN area on Craigs List, and am not sure how rare they are to start with. BTW, the Haynes i saw on this thing leads me to think it's screw type valve adjustors, vs shims. Is this true?
Thanks for your 2 cents.
