Re: explain this
Sure I can. It's a GS500. The MSRP for a new '06 is about $5100. So $4K for a used 2005 with 500 miles is basically fair market value, give or take a couple hundred. It's no super duper deal, but it's not a ripoff either.stumpy56 wrote:can someone tell me why this is soo cheap?

Its not so cheap!
Kelly Blue Book has that bike listed at 3850.00, so they have it listed above blue book. Even though the gs500 is a great starter bike, it is not as popular as the Ninja and does not retain its value in the same way. Do more research and find out how bikes are valued, ie. popularity, reliability and re-saleability.

you cant base the value you can get it for in oregan on other places. Just because it is 3850 in oregan doesnt mean its value isnt 4500 in florida. I dont know where the OP is from though so Its hard to say.moto_hanki wrote:Its not so cheap!
