I curently own a 1983 gs 650 gl .. however my bike mechanic has a 1979 cb 750 sitting there . Runs great sounds good , new tires and valves were just done on it !!
Does anyone know any good or bad issues with these bikes ? And will I notice a great deal of horse power differance between the 2 bikes ?
He wanted $2200 for the bike but is willing to give to me for $1200
 
I had one along time ago , I liked it , I had zero problems , it was a great bike , fast , I changed bars so they were lower, hope this helps, 1200 $ if it is in good shape well worth .
 
They both share the same cylinder bore of 62mm and the Honda gains 6.2mm in stroke. The Honda weighs as much as a GS850 (564wet) and has 4 more HP 500rpm lower than the 650 @9,000.
Besides the chain drive and a more comfortable seating position, they should be close to the same with the 650 (527wet) being a little faster.
 
So you dont think the honda is realy any better then the suzuki ? Myself I feel like im too big on the 650 and when sitting on the honda 750 it did feel quite abit bigger and yes heavier ...
But I will agree my 650 has pretty good jump and goes pretty good !!
However on that note my suzuki has almost 90 000 km on it now and theres a small head gasket leak . Im beginning to hear some raddles within the engine , which kinda sux cuzz I have enjoyed the bike .and just purchased all new intake carb boots for the bike . New front and rear tire , new spark plugs and caps . Oil filter and oil . New valve gasket and valve adjustment in the last month !! Oh and last weekend did the fork seals .....love my little gs hahaha
But this honda I can pick up for $1200 and the motor sounds strong ...
 
I dont have a ton of money to spend and dont know what id doo if my bike died tomorrow and I had nothing to ride !!! Lol
 
I have had that bike your looking at, nothing wrong with the model and plenty of parts to be had. Big & heavy, not nearly as nimble as your current bike.
 
Im in mississauga !! And the bike looks identical to that except it has some vespa front fairing with stereo and speakers . Has two hard case luggage trunks on both sides painted the exact colour and the luggage rack on the back and a back rest for the passenger ...same bike but differant lol
 
Yeah the bike is a tank !! Im 250 lbs and my gs650 feels like im on a bicycle .. so I have been told there isnt much differance between the gs 650 & the cb 750 .. but the cb is bigger !! Tried to upload a pic but it wont let me keep getting an error
