Just got a sweet deal...had to gloat! : Suzuki GSX-R Motorcycle Forums: Gixxer.com

**zrad** · 11-22-2012, 08:11 PM

Just picked up a 88 750 for a bargain price of $350, clean clear title and all. Didn't have high expectations and was pretty stoked when it fired right and ran really well after a little coaxing. My wife says I have a problem....I just can't resist scooping these old girls up when they come around. Sorry but I had to gloat a little to some people that understand these beautiful machines! It definately needs love but thats the fun part. Cheers

Yea looks much better than the 88 i got for 300 last year, it has body work a tank

Sweet! I hope to score an '82 GS750 this weekend for just under $500. I'll follow suit and post up just like you.

You're not madd...as your wife suggests...just passionate about these machines.

Thanks. The one on the left is a VTR1000. I have a couple TLR's, so I guess a weakness for V-twins also....or wait maybe its a weakness for bikes all together....

Same exact blue as my '88 and another member's on here.

Some things are not understood by either sexes. If it makes you happy, that's what counts.

**busatoy** · 11-23-2012, 11:23 AM

The way I looked at it was the head and wheels are worth the purchase price and the rest is free.

What did you pick up?

**gixxerjorge** · 11-23-2012, 10:19 PM

Good deal! I paid $350 for my 92 1100 but it was pretty much in pieces in like two boxes lol.
