I am going to look at a 75 rd250 today. Have lusted after one for quite a while although i'd really like a 350. The guy is asking 1500 for it and it seems to be in pretty stellar shape running well with title. I think he is in the ballpark I know 350 have gone for a lot more. I am wondering if...

So a buddy of mine has a suzuki gt550 for sale he is asking way too much in my opinion. That said I really have never even seen one of these. Are they that rare? Are they worth money. I told him he would be more likely to sell it in the 1k-1500 range. It runs good but is in just fairly good...

Been working on the bike all day and am perplexed. I was kicking at this thing all day wondering what was the deal. No go...
