Suzuki gs500 02 plate, needs attention sold

[LanaJade]

Hi I purchased this a few weeks ago with an aim of getting it on the road, however I have had no had the time or cash to take it to a bike shop, it has been well looked after by previous owner and has lots of paperwork and still has an MOT.

66k on the clock

The bike is in good condition and shiney.

The problem is that when you put the key in and try to start it, it just clicks and wont tuen the engine on. I have no idea about bikes and would like to sell to someone that will fix and enjoy it

[Jahjah]

Logbook? Will you take ?350?

[LanaJade]

I need it gone by this week, yes full logbook and lots of service history. Two months mot. You will need a van to collect.

[LanaJade]

Now ?300

😂😂

I love that "good condition" can be applied to a completely unrideable bike 😂

If you're still thinking of fixing it up yourself, I'm selling some Philips screwdrivers that are in amazing condition and have a really cool blue grip on the handles. Only minor issue is the tips are all worn out but I'd love someone to get more use out of them!

don't be mean peckham_ryu, LanaJade was very clear about the issue/ condition of the bike

[LanaJade]

Well... Cosmetically its not a rust bucket and the body is in good condition... Whats your point... Pointless remark... Yawn...

Sure if it weren't for the ripe backstory, I'd say that's a fair point. As it is, we are to believe that someone who "knows nothing about bikes" bought one to fix up, and then realised they didn't have the time or money to do anything after all, and has absolutely no idea how serious or trivial the starting problem is. Hmmm. We're assured it's been well looked after ? by someone who supposedly knows nothing about it so wouldn't therefore know e difference between "well looked after" and "thrashed to within an inch of its life". Either the seller hopes we were born yesterday, or was herself ... one of those is more likely than the other!

I don't make a habit of taking the pp out of seller's ads, but this one's trying to take the pp out of us, it's fair game :)

Thanks for your input, this has now sold, heres a ripe backstory of the sale for you... The kind gentleman that came, came with a hammer banged it a few times on the starter motor and what do you know! It started and he drove it away for a tidy ?300. I call that a bargain... Im 38 weeks pregnant and ready to drop and dont have time for manual labour! Thanks for your kind suggestion on the screwdrivers.... Goodbye
