I have been stalking this sight for some time now. I have had 2 motorcycles prior to my 81 suzi. My first bike was a brand new 06 honda shadow 750. Literally a spur of the moment I want a motorcycle, never ridden before purchase. It was a good bike, but after sitting for two years during a little stint overseas, I sold it. Next was a harley electra glide. Financial crunch soon after that purchase and I sold Pearl. Fast forward a few years and an itch i couldn't get rid of and I came upon this suzuki. $500 on craigslist. I figured it had to be a hunk of crap. Well I happened to be talking to an old timer at work and he happened to have a gs750. He told me the engines were basically bullet proof and to go look at it.
I couldn't be happier that I did. I have rode the piss out of it since mid July. The motor runs very strong, and I have honestly have had a blast on it. The guy also gave me a rf1100 shoi helmet included in the price, along with a clymer manual, new oil filter, front fork air pump and a tire guage. I certainly feel like Ive scored.
I really thought about doing the cafe racer modification to my bike, but the more I think about it, the more I want to do a restore and minor mods. What do you think? First on the list, figure out exactly where oil is seeping out from.
