1973 SUZUKI GT750 - PROJECT - TAKING OFFERS?


Recommended Posts

So. I know it's NOT a VFR, but we're all motorcyclists, and people know people, meaning other motorcyclists. Plus, if I were to sell this, it's actually going to be to fund an upcoming build  ... either RC30 or RC45 replica, built from a "donor" whose parts collection is gathering nicely! Leaning RC30, but a harder build to pull off!

Anyways, any interest, or know of any interest, send them and/or the questions my way!

Thanks Peoples!!

 

EDIT:
Apparently, I needed to be more specific in WHAT this is??
This is a rare, vintage, collectible bike.
Rare 2 stroke triple. 750cc scream machine!
Rare early water cooled bike (got the moniker, the "Water Buffalo").
Also dual discs in front, which I believe all these models had? But still rare in 1973!
Needs to be completely gone through, but is 100% there! NOT an easy find.
Go ahead and look for yourself.

In the pics, the first few is how it looked when I got it, and again now.
I had to take a bunch of stuff off, just to be able to move it! Exhaust, to get a stand under it, to get the wheel/chain off of it.
Just ended up taking a bunch of stuff off, to make cleaning everything up easier. So I included an "inventory pic" of that as well. Cleaned all that stuff a bit, and also just to assess general condition of parts, as well as familiarize myself with bike.
Included a few of my mock ups/tinkering.
I put it all back together, including a new tube and used tire on the front, so could actually move it around easily ... versus barely!

A History:

It was my brother's bike, he passed away a couple years ago,, he bought it mid/late '80s, from either the original or 2nd owner? Can't remember? He rode it off and on, less than a year, and parked it. And that's it! Was sitting, outside, uncovered, @ 30ish years.
That said, all there! Down to the key! Has @ 16-17k, which I figure to be accurate, knowing it's history.
It has expansion chambers on it(that need rebuilding), and the airbox is gone, replaced by pod filters. Other than that, all original!
Oh, forgot, it was painted sometime before my brother got it, so original paint long gone.

It's still in his name, have older registration for it, but not a hardcopy of the title. I just held off, until deciding what to do with it? I cannot remember if I checked on DMV fees? There likely are, unless it got purged by now? But would just filing for a lost or duplicate title, and/or transfer of ownership.

As I said above, I had to start disassembling it in order to first move it, then more so to move it around. Pulled more off to gain access for cleaning, plus clean those parts better too. That's about as far as I went with it. Minus some mock ups and playing with ideas in the middle, put it back as it was ... and it sits in wait again.

I'm going to be accepting offers on it, and depending on interest etc., will likely try to coordinate a time that works, to show it once. I'll need to get it out of my storage, load it up, then show it. Don't plan to have to take it back to the storage. I will refrain from showing it to people individually before that, unless serious, and the offer is serious??

Offers, all reasonable ones, will be considered. This will not be happening 'til the end of the week, Friday at the earliest.

Questions are welcome. I have more pics, but the basics are covered. Specific questions on pics welcome.

Let me know?
Thanks in advance!
