1978 GS750C......My First Suzy

[allojohn]

Thanks for your reply John. The headstock plate is still intact and shows a manufacturing date of March 1978. So it seems to be a made in 1978 and a model 1978.

What did you spot that would identify it as a 1977? Who knows what may have happened to this bike in its lifetime.

Wire wheels and single front disk usually indicate '77. Looks in great shape - apart from the seat!

I'll see if I can find some engine pictures. The right hand side crankcase does read GS750-74016.

What you may have noticed is that a PO removed the paint from the engine cover badges, which I may renew

OK, that's a 750. Sorry about that!

With points fired from the crank rather than a cam, I expect that 19000 km is about as far as one ignition adjustment will take the bike. So I'll be sure to reset the points.

I doubt it would go that far without any attention at all, at least not without some poor running along the way.
