Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 For sale is a 1978 Suzuki GS750EC. This model is considered by many to be the best of the UJM bikes. Their handling far surpassed their rivals, and the engines are powerful and bulletproof, modelled very closely after Kawasaki's Z-engines, with several interchangeable parts. This is a very usable bike, even today. In fact, I ride it regularly, including on So. Cal Freeways, where it has given me no problems in traffic. The previous owner restored this bike in what he stated was a “frame off restoration”. The bike runs exceptionally well. The following work was done: Frame and bodywork repainted.Carburetors sent for specialist rebuilding with all new parts and tuned perfectly.New brake lines and pads, discs turned and vented.New chain.New seat.New lithium battery and charger.New tires.New speedometer and tachometer cables.New clutch cable.NOS gear-position display (the gear indicator works properly; often these are a problem). Only problem that I know of is that the speedometer needle vibrates at high speed, above about 85 mph.

Need to sell. Sat in my backyard for many years. I bought a replacement engine, but the mechanic got the original one to start. I do not have the time or money to push this project further, nor to try to part it out myself. This listing is for the bike and and the original engine which is presently out of the bike. All reasonable offers entertained. Shooting for $450.00 or best. You will need to make arrangements to remove it from the mechanic's premises which are in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Sold as is without any explicit or implied warranty. No Refunds, returns, and so on.
