The 750 was reduced to 700 in the U.S. during the tarriff years. Not sure of the years though.
The chain drive 650 is somewhat of a rare bird and a good looking cycle.

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

Does this look familiar? but Trevor's right-if you go into a shop here in Canada, they'll likely call it a GS750. We got different bikes here. Probably because of what Dorkburger is saying.However I cannot find parts for this bike in online parts catalogs. It's not an option in the drop down lists of every site I tried.

The 750 would probably not make a good start as a "cafe" bike. The 750ES has a 16" front wheel for a start... It also has a square tubed frame, mono shock with linkage & a much more modern looking engine.
As one to fix as stock & ride it's probably a better, rarer, more rewarding bike than a 650.
I made a special from one (for fun and because the fairing assembly was missing from this bike anyway):

# 9 post was asking original poster if the 650 was chain or shaft, not the 750 in the picture?
Regarding the 1986 750, if it's a 1986 Canadian registered bike, wouldn't be called a GS750EF?
I don't believe anything aside from cam timing or Canadian carburetor size engine wise would be different than a US 1983 Suzuki GS 750 E-ES that has the odd US 16 inch front wheel.
The front fairing lowers body work wise of the Canadian EF would be different than the US 1983 GS750ES version, as the ES is a half faired bike.
If you're planning on chopping rear sub frames n such, seems the whole brat bike thing, the 650 would be more appropriate.
Kevin Schwantz was riding the 3rd generation 750 in 1986 @ Willow Springs when he turned some heads with his racing acumen.GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ESComment
