Saw the ad last Friday night, finally spoke with the guy on the phone this past Saturday. We made arrangements to see the bike yesterday. Today I rented a U-Haul truck and collected the bike. It was that simple.
For a 41 year old motorcycle, the bike seems to be in excellent shape, only 26,000 miles. That means that this winter, on my free time I would be very busy restoring this classic motorcycle. It was a long time ago I owned one of these bikes, it should be fun to restore. I wouldn't make the mistake of selling it, this time I plan to keep this one.
Let the restoration begin ...
It looks like except for the seat all the pieces are there. Can't wait to see this classic brought back to life.
ReplyDeleteThe bike looks to be relatively unmolested. This is a nice project to get me started and a little busy during the cold weather.
DeleteWhat a handsome bike, with low mileage and use. Perfect for restoration. My first motorcycle was a used 1995 Kawasaki Vulcan 750. Good luck with it!
ReplyDeleteMy first Kawasaki was a 1972 Kawasaki 750 triple, aka the widow maker.
DeleteLooks pretty decent. Should be a fun project.
ReplyDeleteFor a 41 year old bike, I was surprised how clean it looks.
DeleteI have a 83 GS750E that's in my garage waiting for restoration. Will be following you.
