Get yourself a GSX1100ET/EX,
drop in a GSXR11/Bandit 12 motor,
Use GSXR/Hayabusa running gear.

Build a REAL monster.

Hope you won't mind me butting in, new to forum, but does anybody know the difference in the models, GSX750W, GSX750Y and GSX750X please?

or is it the numberplate prefix rather than model variation.

[Chadatious 0]

you got a budget mate?

i know people can get very light damage bikes cheap. for examples

my bandit 600, 3500 miles, £925 cost 250 to fix.

ashleys fzr400, fairing damage and bent subframe, nothing else, £450

mates banit 600, 19k, bent bars, heel plate and indicator £825 minter.

if not few mates are selling bikes for new one for this season

he always has bargain bikes in. had a troupmh st1050 i think or the 995. slight frontal £550

Did you find it a comfortable bike streetfighter? That's why i'm interested in getting one (apart from the good looks). My XJ600n is fine up to a point but I'd like to travel a bit further afield in one go. When I say comfortable I mean a lack of banging up through the back end (ie good - dare I say - soft damping) and a lack of vibration. They have a nice fat rear tyre - 170 I think.

Think you have mis-understood i went to buy one the other day and the bloke had sold it to his cousin before i got there, if you read the thread from the begining you will understand its Lee that had one not me

cheers, appreciated: - this has to be the most friendly forum.

so intent on finding out more about that Suzuki that I didn't read the item properly - I have sent Lee a pm, thanks again.

Incidentally streetfighter - imo that price was very reasonable, I would expect to pay around £1000 for a decent one with a ticket and tax, saw one for £800 without t and t.

you might have been lucky but unless you are a good mechanic you can find yourself paying the asking price over again to get it sorted, speak from experience, but then I am not particularly competent on the fixing up front.

For example, as you know, neglected brakes can be a hassle and exhausts/tyres/chain-cogs aren't cheap, my mistake was not to check for burning oil, a bit of revving shows it up, sign of wear if you see another. Of course that applies to all bikes but I think that model is a good 'un.

hope this doesn't come over as a know all. love that particular bike - they were eclipsed by the bandit and apparently didn't sell that well, for that reason I suppose

Right i'm in work and get this call from the bloke who was selling this SUZUKI GSX 750 RETRO, he said his cousin now don't want the bike and its still for sale. Do i go and have a look and kick him up the nuts with a silly price or offer him what i was going to offer before which was £500, I might say to him i'll give you £400 and go from there,But do i stick on the £400 or do i go up a bit by bit to till i get to the £500. The other thing is that he kept my number so was he selling to his cousin or another buyer that never turned up, I have to ring him on the way home from work, bearing all this in mind i hope its still dirty and in need of a good clean like my mate said to me when he took me there before. So all advice NEEDED please

[Iano 0]

well despite what i said above you can hardly go wrong with that kind of low price, it does run doesn't it? Check for that smoke matey. I'd take a look and try not to fall in love with it immediately but as you identify faults put that into the quation re price, easier to say than do.

My only advise to you Mick is go with ya gut feeling, go and have a look and youll decide whilst there whether its meant to be or not...oh and good luck mate, keep us informed
