and the best part. Got her for $1000!

This is the bike I asked about in another thread a couple of months ago. Finally got my friend to let go and let my have it.

Belonged to a friend of mine since it was brand new. It's an '87. The bike hasn't been cranked since 1995, but as you can see it looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor! Its just been sittin in the corner of his shop untouched. Cosmetically the only thing it needs is a new windshield. The original has a few cracks around the mounting holes. The bike is bone stock. Even the tires still had air in 'em!

Looks real tidy!

Can't wait to see pics of that thing cleaned up a little more!

Nice score, it will be like riding a time machine.

Clean example... that would fetch a tidy sum out in California...

Before I'd hit the starter I would first spin the oil pump
independently of the engine with an cordless drill... because after
that extended non operating period its possible that the crank is
resting on dry bearings...

you might also want to clean out the fuel system...

Excellent old school classic. Always wanted one of those. :clapper

I loved that bike. I got my first sportbike in 1988, a red/white Honda Hurricane but I really wanted that Gix 750. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), I couldn't afford it AND I had the wisdom to know my limitations. Considerable since i was 18 at the time. Have fun with it!

that's pretty cool, ugly as all sin...but pretty cool. It's like the Bizarro fvck of motorcycling.

 

[boom boom]

you suck......and i mean that in the nicest possible way:notworthy I'll give you $1001 for it

Looks to be missing original grips and possibly the rear fender but yup that is one very, very nice "barn find"! :rockon

Yeah. It looks like it'll need a lot of fixing up. Decent condition?:wacky

That bike is over two decades old and looks nearly mint. The kicker is that a twenty four year old GSXR would have the stock pipe still on it. You lucky bastard.
