@Snapey
has it got a mainstand, that swing arm looks modified all those changes devalue that machine greatly.

So what are you saying Jeffrey ... lose the twin system & replace them it the OEM single system & centre stand? Maybe a good idea as I could flog the twin exhaust & LH muffler mount separately.

There again I could move the bike in to the lounge room & look at it all day.

@Snapey,

What are you asking for the SE?
How many k's and owners?

@Snapey,

$12,000 with 3 weeks rego or $12,650 with 12 months. 63,00kms & 2nd owner.

Ooohw! Tempting! It looks very tidy and well looked after. I would pay that price but was after one with less k's.
I still only have 19k on mine.

I don't really understand the fascination people have with very low mileage. Serving and presentation are far more important. I consider under 100 is on these machines low. 19ks is not even properly run in. Storage and proper regular servicing would be my priorities. I had mine from 45k to about 65k and there was no difference in performance. The bike had no known history but no signs of abuse or neglect. I would expect a properly maintained 1400 should be good for well in excess of 300k. It's the small bits that will need attention by then.

[Hooli]

Well said. my 14 was up to 168k miles when stolen, it ran as well as ever & felt like it'd do the same again. Barely anything replacing except consumables and minor outlying bits like stators either.

@ Johno and Hooli,

The great thing about the Gsx14 is its 1980's build and quality reinforcement! It's what we all classify as "Bullet Proof" yeah! "The solid reliable build".
I totally agree with your response on mileage with the 14. The big question though is unknown. How have the K's been spent.
You say 19k is barely run in for this motorcycle. I would have to generally agree. How it has been run in is most important though!
We always had a way to "run" bikes in! You can be too soft and you can be too hard too soon. Rough or smooth. It always made a big difference to the character of a particular engine. No two bikes are the same!
Sure! A 14 with 100k can be a good reliable bike that goes well and is well worth purchasing. In this case I am after an SE that I probably will never find. A stock standard collector, which has low k's for this very reason.
I did find one once with 6k on it. It sold within 20 minutes of listing.

[Hooli]

Keep looking, I've seen a FE (we didn't get the SE over here) with something daft like 4k miles on it in a shop last year.

Oddly it was an early FE, a K6.

[KiwiCol]

Sounds like you want Barmys' GSX, that went to a collector as well. Any pic's Dave?    . . . 

[grog]

Dont think Barmys was real stock Col. So much polish mustve been heavier.
