Re: Is there a market for late 80's/v.early 90's GSXR's

[alfaromeo84]

Just curious, is there a good market in the UK for these.

[Moulder]

For 400's I would say no. Usually the cheapest of the 400's on Ebay and I have not seen another one for years.

750's possibly as starting to see some nicer ones about, but more early to mid nineties.

All in my opinion, I am not a lawyer, etc...

Many got ripped apart to build street fighters..

I bought a damaged/neglected 89' GSXR1100K 1127cc Slingshot and did the same.. but the lure of newer/reliable bikes was too great and sold it on.

Don't see many about but they do demand strong money if they haven't been ruined by people like me.

A mate of mine recently bought a stock '89 'K' model GSXR1100 in Ireland and it's gleaming. The downside is he must have paid a lot for it as he wouldn't tell me how much!

Someone on the forum has a very nice J or K model, theres a good interest and market in all the oil cooled GSXRs, not so much when they was in the wilderness years when the first water cooled models came out(1992-95 IIRC)

This is my 89 K model. Paid just under 4k for it on 20k miles and in really good condition a few months ago. Similar bikes at the time were all similar money and they do look to be going up although not a big factor for me.

As said earlier, loads of them were street fightered so they are getting rare now.
