    Hi All . New to this site , I have had many different bike in my 50 years of riding and have restored 14 bikes.
    But for the last 8 year I have had my eye on a Bonneville in a garage down the road from my it is a 1978 reg ESX90S . 744cc . Engine and Frame number are the same GX09112 is this correct and any other information would be appreciated . I now have the chance to buy it and was wondering the value of it. I am going down later to take some pictures. Many Thanks.

    Yes a nice bike would need to see the pictures to hazard a price. A lot depends on milage service owners. Is it a runner if not has it been turned over and how long has it stood.

    GX was made june of 1978 for the 1978 model year

    matching numbers is worth extra money

    value all depends on condition, originality, and the phase of the moon

    put up a shit load of pictures
