[SOAZ]

This 1978 GS750E has about 28,000 miles. Runs great.

I'll throw in with the bike a new and used once Biltwell MEGAFLAKE helmet.

The good:

-The rear tire is almost brand new and has about 50 miles on it.
-I replaced the stator with a used one from ebay. I will include another spare stator that I got with the bike.
-I put black cafe racer style lower bars on the bike. Original bars come with it though.
-Bar end mirrors, but original ones come with it.
-The plugs were just replaced about 100 miles ago.
-Comes with 4 oil filters.
-Comes with a bunjee cord net that I used to strap things down onto the seat with.
-All of the indicator lights and blinkers work.
-Low profile blinkers.
-The 4 carburetor's were rebuilt, cleaned and synced.

The bad:
-Occasionally a cylinder cuts out. It appears to the be one of the ignition coils. Loose connection most likely, but I was going to eventually just replace the coils which come with new plug wires. It's never left me stranded just down on power.
-The seat has a cover that the previous owner put on, but a proffesionally installed cover would look cleaner.
-The paint is really good for a do it yourself job, but it's not pro.

Bump for a SWEET BIKE! :Wow1:

What a blast from the past, my first street bike was a GS750E! That thing was a monster in it's day (and still is)

:bike_rider:

[jrose609]

I will give you a bump too! Nice bike. I had a GS 750 after college for a while. What a great bike.

I love the cafe bars on there. Definitely makes the bike. What bars are they?

I went and looked at a GS 550 today! But there is no title on it.....was a nice bike, and the price is right, but no title.

A guy here has a 750LTD (Kawa) I'm checking it out tomorrow.

Love the 70's bikes. GLWS!

[SOAZ]

Thanks guys. The bars are a set of superbike bars from http://www.caferace.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=C&Category_Code=RRBT

I'm amazed at how damn fast the bike is for something from the 70's. Scares me sometimes! :bike_rider:

[Jnich77]

That thing is old school sexy!!!

[SOAZ]

Price drop to $1400. :sombrero:

Will you deliver it to Florida?

The ride itself will be an adventure of its own.

Awesome -- a bike from the year I was born! I may have to buy it just for the sparkly helmet.

If I get Loise to sign the sparkly helmet then you'll pick the bike up today I bet!

[BLKNBLU]

Dammit Tim. Why do you taunt me so?!? :mad:

[Fergie]

The taunting worked for me...

What did you do? Buy it?

...or take a cold shower like I did?

[Fergie]

...or take a cold shower like I did?
Bought it...essentially. Tim and I are working out the details.

[SOAZ]

SOLD, now who's got a pickup truck I can borrow for a little road trip north?

[Fergie]

The bike is now sitting in the driveway at my place...and is a blast to drive.

Thanks Tim!
