1977 GS 750 in Philly
I've been seeing a 1977 GS 750 just like the one I had back then, parked on the sidewalk outside a restaurant at the corner of 13th and Sansom in Philly. Really clean ! I had to go over and see if it WAS my bike from 1977, but mine had a Lockhart oil cooler, Lester mags, and a luggage rack/back rest, but this one was the same color, had the original spokers. Man, that took me back!1979 GS 1000Comment

Not an 83 700, No, I clearly saw the SUZUKI emblem and GS750[x] on the side panel. The engine sound was pretty high-pitched, making me think it was going at the higher end of the RPMs, though it was normal speed traffic. The rest of the bike mighta been black. I didn't get a good glimpse at its wheels or drive, and didn't notice whether it was an L or not, although I don't remember a bunch of chrome...Possibly an 83 700 or 84 750 Kawasaki, same stripes-nice bikes. Was the rest of the bike black?Last edited by kerrfunk; 08-23-2013, 09:39 PM."I have come to believe that all life is precious." -- Eastman, TWD6.4

When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

Two blocks from home yesterday, I saw an oncoming bike turn left, ahead of me. I caught it in the other lane at the light and hollered out the window at the guy "I like your GK". Caught him off-guard, he said "thanks". The light turned green, we proceeded a block, I turned into my driveway, he kept going.
Looked like the bike could use a little TLC, but sounded OK.

All I could catch was a Suzuki shaft drive, dark color maybe black or blue, other than that no time to see. But it was a solo rider.

I picked it up Redman. After Don picked up his Beemer, I doubt he's been on a GS since. Or maybe not

70GT
850g
Stepped out on my porch a couple evenings ago just in time to see a suzy go by . Looked to be around an 1980 gs 850G not positive on the year it was black with the red stripe outlining the tank and the side cover . The bike looked pretty clean and original from what I saw of it . I was actually caught by surprise as its only the 3rd gs I have seen around here . Sighted cruising down north 6th st towards columbia blvd in st helens Oregon anyone here ?Comment
