I know I'll probably end up dropping more than I plan, i'm prepared for that. I have no plans of selling it, not a big market for old gs300's, lol. it's for my girl as her first bike... much more of a pride thing than anything like a "sound investment". It's also piece of mind that i'll be giving her a bike with just about everything new on it.. and 90% of bikers won't have any clue what bike it is. But.. the number 1 thing is.. it will keep me busy all winter until i buy my next busa, lol.
