      1980 Suzuki GS850 - $700 (Tome)





      1980 Suzuki GS850. Currently not running but the engine is in good condition. Was reworking the carbs and have a lot of new parts invested. Great project bike (rat rod style). I just dont have time to put into it anymore. $700.00 OBO.
      This is marked down to $300 if anyone needs parts.

          Haha, yep! Theres got to be a few usable parts left in that mess though.

          When my aunt needed a new valve in her heart they took one from a pig. Look at it that way

            I bet the price drop is because he can't get it to run. Note the "reworking carbs"comment

                  It would make an excellent commuter bike if you lived 1/4 mile from work.

                    Funny thing is... that's exactly what I though when I saw it... except I work about 13 miles from work.

                    -I'd still ride it to work though. -

                      Would get really frustrating if you had to follow anything else.

                        Years ago i saw a car tire drag bike riding in traffic on one of our busiest stretches of roads. It blew my mind a little.
