Don't email him, he will get irritated

Funny! But to be fair he must be near to a mental breakdown trying to sell a bike that won't go over 40 mph for $4000 so you better not push him over the edge.

1980 suzuki gs850

condition: fair
engine displacement (CC): 850
fuel: gas
odometer: 16000
paint color: black
title status: clean
transmission: manual


there has been so much **** done to this bike. we will start here
stainless steel race valves,
viton valve stem seals
rebuilt head
bored 0.5mm over cylinder block
new pistons
Barnett clutch
mac 4/1 exhaust
led headlights
new plugs new coil packs
gs1100 carbs
brand new Dunlop tires front and rear
there is 5k into the motor.
been converted to hardtail

have a ton of other parts laying around. also have a gs1100 block that is a perfec candidate for a 1500cc big bore kit. whole 1983 gs1100 harness front forks and all sorts of other parts.
was considering going efi so I have 2 efi Kawasaki gpz1100 fuel rails to go with and other efi parts. there is 7k+ between the bike you see here and other msc stuff for it laying around.
bikes been painted and due to moving it around a lot the paint isn't excellent. tank has a dent in it.
bike starts and runs and is titled, the carbs lean out at 3k rpm so it has no power above 40mph.
I know I'm missing other stuff
I have video of the bike on youtube here. currently doesn't have the baffle in it but I have it.

I could never understand someone dumping cash into building up an engine then placing it into a made useless by design chassis. I?m weird though.

?Must see? (on any empty stomach)

A “must see” and a “head turner” oh boy. I think the head turning is really just head shaking.

(on AN empty stomach) why can't we edit the title?

" I planned on removing the front brakes anyway".... brilliant.

I think he meant to say "...a real stomach turner."

For $150, I'll bring a trailer and haul it to the dump for him.

I don't think 650s were shaft drive, a CB 700 maybe?

This Wikipedia article indicates that the 650 was also shaft-driven.

This is my favorite GSR thread! You just can't make this sh*t up. Thanks for the laugh! I needed that!

Wow, that would sure give you a face full tank on a really hard bump.

Key selling points:

"This is one of the most seen CBR250 R on the planet. The bike has over 138K views on youtube alone."

"This isn't your run of the Mill 250R, the bike is so modified that it is illegal for the Canadian 250 racing series."

It's awesome except:

"Now the bad, my girlfriend placed a hot pan on the rear seat which burned a small hole in it.

The front tire will need to be replaced.I recommend getting another pilot power tire, however, I'm giving you a brand new front and rear tire.

Lastly, the bike was dropped about 3 months after I got it. This cause NO mechanical problem. The frame slider did its job, this bent the frame slider bracket on the right side. This can be bent back as its CNC aluminum, it did scrape the rear fender (see picture) the new part cost around $20 ALREADY PAINTED!!!

The last bit is the front fearing at the top was scratched.. in the same (only ) drop and I believe I have a new piece already painted to replace it if you want. It never bothered me enough to actually replace it."

I wonder what the dyno numbers were? 25HP?

Hmmmm, 138,000 views and still not sold huh? LOL

I don't know how much value the mechanical mods add; if he can show receipts for everything then maybe a little bit. Its been crashed (no way the rear fender gets that deep of a scrape in a no speed drop), and the seat is going to need to be replaced. If it actually has the new front fairing, he's probably only off on the price by a factor of two (instead of the normal 4-6x).

550's were chain, 650's were shaft. The idea being the extra 100 cc to pull the extra drag of the shaft & maintain performance. Yamaha did the same with the 550-650 Seca

 

[Guest]

The '83-'85 CB650SC & '84-'86 CB700SC are both shaft drive.
