New member just bought mint 1977 GS750

You get that kind of money for the restored 2 stroke Kaws because they are nearing extinction. There are still a lot of GS Suzis out there. Supply and demand. Never was an H1 or H2 anywhere near as good a bike to own and ride. Yes, they were fast, and they sounded like sh*t, the ones I rode were evil handling, peaky wheelie happy rat traps. A buddy of mine tried hard to sell me his decent shape H2, and I should have bought it as an investment. It would have sat other than maintenance rides.

Beautiful machine. I'd keep it, that thing is sweet, and my favorite color too.

Lots of interest from evil bay….shouldn't think this will last long.

Not to mention that the early ones were 20 mpg bikes. Not enough range to get out of town on.

OK sold first day for, had 4 people wanting it so it went to first one who offered me cash deal for a price I couldn't refuse. Beat Griffins estimate by a long chalk. Looks like mint GS's are getting sought after now…sorry to see her go though!
It went to a good home though, the guy has a collection of absolute museum quality 70's Suzuki, Kawasaki and Honda 4 strokes so she'll fit right in.

Where was your ebay listing? I never saw it. I started looking for it as soon as you posted this:

I never found it.

That was my first big street bike. I went from a Kawasaki 175 2-stroke enduro to the GS. Got 3 tickets in 3 weeks! Thats what got me into roadracing and off the street racing.

Congrats on the sale, glad you got what you needed.
I don't think i am out of line is asking....can you please let us know what that offer was.
It would be good to have a benchmark price.

So what was the Ebay Item number on it? I can't find it either My guess is there is some smoke being blown

That other one mentioned is from lincoln ne and it this is at least the second time around that it has been sold in the last few weeks
