Been Around the Block
As I have a ton of project bikes on the go, none of which are running, I mentioned to my wife that I really wanted to find a running bike that I could just drive while completing on of the café projects. Strange... she said she didn't realize café bikes were supposed to be complete or to actually run. Smart ass.
So, this was around Christmas last year. While ago I know, but I didn't get around to a thread until now. Actually, part of the reason for this thread is because I could use some help, but more on that later.
Here is a picture of the bike. I had never seen an EF model before but I love Suzuki bikes. When it came up on Kijiji I loved it immediately. I sort of see it as a link between the older 8 valve 750s, one of which I still own, and the GSXR750, one of which I use to own, drove the daylights out of and still love to dream about owning again. So, I begged and cried and my lovely wife allowed me to buy it ONLY on the condition that I would sell bikes or bikes parts to pay for it. Deal. (for the record I did actually sell bikes/parts to pay for it)
The guy was asking $1000 but I offered him $600 and it was running, insured and being ridden almost daily so that was a huge change for me as my bikes tend to come in boxes or crates!
Long story short, he told me if I would pick up that day, he would sell for $600. He was desperate to buy a 2006 GSXR600 track bike and needed the cash.
