Hi, I am new to this forum. My name is Brent.
Sorry to bug you guys with this total noob kind of question, but
i was looking for a little advice.
I am about to purchase a 77 suzuki Gs750.
http://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/268782778.html

I was wondering if it was a good candidate to cafe.
How much would have to go into it (seat, bars, maybe tank work), and would it really be worth it?

Thanks for your help.

I have a 1977 GS750. First year GS. Mine doesn't run though. I think they are badass bikes (faster than the kz1000 and cb750 for that year). They would make awsome cafe bikes and you just don;t see them around anymore. I just want a sleeper GS750 so I can pull the sleeper cb750 off the road and do the base and head gaskets.

A really clean one is worth about $1500-$2000. Figure less than that for nonstock paint and lesser condition.

I couldn't see the ad because it was removed.

I hope you are not a person of tall stature because although it is fun to ride my girlfriend's cj360T is too cramped to be a serious bike (I'm 6'5" btw).
