well after selling my 911 i wanted a toy to play with, and decided to find a bike to make a cafe style bike out of.
i stumbled upon a mechanically really nice 1982 suzuki gs 750, got it for $600 along with a number of gaskets and such with it.
on the test drive it pulled very hard all the way to 9k (redline is 9.5+), shifted great, and brakes felt good.
only issues are a cracked breather cover, left blinker doesn't work, high beam stays on, gas tank was painted by jebb clampett and a few other minor things, all in all i got a smoking deal. a good enough deal that after i'm done it'll be worth twice what i'll have in it, so i'll sell it and build a smaller displacement cafe......i didn't want to get a 750 but couldn't pass this up.
going to start tearing it down and cleaning it up in the next couple weeks (need to make room in the garage), and i'll post pics of my progress when i make some
here are some "as i brought it home" pics.....
