I will give you £200 for it.

There's probably an owners' forum around somewhere for them where you'd get advice and probably be able to sell it on without too much trouble.
Google is your friend, try it....

how come ur selling?

Tidy gsxr1100s are appreciating now - but take look on ebay and see how much they are fetching. Pretty iconic bikes (thought the air/oil cooled gsxr750s are a touch more desirable)

If they are easy fixes, it often does not affect value too much.

I remember riding a couple over a decade ago, they really rock - ended up with an EXUP though.

I don't think they fetch much to be honest
The oil cooled ones are the desirable bikes, as stated above
As a guide, this one looks pretty clean

D'oh, the link wont work unless you are a member, cut and pasted

Fired up once a month and ridden round the carpark is the only milage covered since its MoT in Jan
Unloved Unmolested classic
23k miles, Micron headers, std link/can or baffleless link pipe and stumpy can available, braided lines, +2 on the rear sprocket, pazzo levers, black screen
TBH i'd fit a new back tyre and clean the tank out but she's ready to rock as is £1250 ovno

Tough one this, I paid £700 (or so, can't remember exactly) for my '89 no MOT K model on ebay. About a grand later (full service, tyres, chain n sprockets, fork & shock rebiulds, wheels blasted & painted and a few minor bits n bobs and I've got a reasonable nick slingshot. I would describe mine as in good condition rather than immaculate with a few battle scars on the original paintwork and one or two fairing cracks. Wouldn't take much (paint job, bit of polishing and a new screen) to bring it up to very decent standard.
These bikes are right at the start of the 'appreciation curve', never going to be Vincent Black Shadows but given the ridiculous prices people are paying for LC's (great bikes, I've owned four but £5k for a minter, really?) who knows the limits. Right now I wouldn't part with mine for less than £5k but that's more about the value I put on it as a piece of personal (blue & white) gixer history. If someone offered me a slightly scuffed, but all the rights bits sorted, 1990 EXUP for anything over £1500 I would laugh so much they would probably clock me one, just 'cos not my bag, in a rambling sort of way just trying to say ............. at the moment a gixer '11 slingshot worth wot someone will offer you for it, don't be offended if it's not much

It's to go with the k6, k3 and '85 750 in his suzuki dream garage. He's also got a Anniversary speed triple too.
