If last week felt like Ducati week, this week is already starting to feel like GSX-R week. Following Sunday’s 86 model is this 87 GSX-R 1100 that is also in very original condition and shows less than 10k miles. Similar to the other example, this one has an aftermarket pipe and pod filters, so make sure it runs right as the comments on the other post suggest. While this one shows a bit more storage wear it also carries a higher price of entry with a $10,900 buy-it-now. Compared to the 86 which has met reserve and is currently at $4,650 with over 7 days to go. It will be interesting to watch these both (if the auctions run to completion) to gauge the market.

Didn’t sell the first time on ebay at just over $8k. Re-listed and now with almost $11k buy-it-now price. I made what I thought was a crazy high offer at 9500 IF included the original exhaust (which is being sold on ebay separately?). I know these GSXR’s are getting a bit more rare and this is a good bike, still it is hard to see it for close to $11k. Also seller wants between $1,000 and $1,500 for original exhaust which would bring the ask price to is being sold separate. Maybe prices are getting a bit unrealistic in this case. It is a great old bike and I loved the one I had like this when I got out of college.
These bikes are being gobbled up by overseas buyers. If you want one, Id say buy it. They are only original once. I have a black and red 87 with slightly more miles and in as nice condition with stock exhaust. Every time I get on it and ride, it takes me back to college days, and not only puts a smile on my face but still scares the *$#+% out of me. They are only original once, although I do agree. 11k and change seems a bit lofty. In a few years though, we may all be thinking this was a steal. Just look at the prices of ELRs.
Shoulda bought one of them 5 years ago.
Are you considering the red one on Ebay posted here a couple of days ago?? It looks nice and is currently under $5k.
Saw that one also. Lower miles, but then Ive always loved the blue/white.
