At this moment there is a nice 550 on eBay for £2995 , in all honesty the seller will forever struggle at that unless the one person who really wants that bike sees it.
So this is where worth and value differ.
Valuation for a GS 550 MX ( Katana) 1982-4.
Basket case ....spares or repairs ... £150- £350
Complete bike Ready to restore £400-£650.
"Restored" bike Now this is where the difficultly lays
New parts , refurbed parts , original or period.
It is interpretation. £750- £1500
Concours. ( No bike should ever have to suffer this fate
being trailered to shows just to been shown
Suffering forever to be critiqued .). £1995 +
