I found an 1981 gs850g. It was inpounded, has a title but not key for the ignition. I've been reading that these bikes are tanks and that it probably still turns over. What should i do.

How much are they wanting for it?
Police impound or Mechanics lien?
By "Tank" do you mean indestructable... or slow and overweight?

Buy it if the price is right and you know how to work on bikes.
Get the key number from the seat lock and have a key made at your local Suzuki store or they are available from Ebay.

The guy want $300.00 i don't currently work on bike but have a buddy that does. By tank i ment indestructable. I was impounded but has a free and clear title.
Well, both are correct...

A $300 runner with title is a decent investment. As mentioned the key is no biggy, be sure to check the helmet lock, and seat lock, there may be one "hiding" in either of those instead of the ignition...

Might even be an "extra key" hidden under a side cover or in the headlight bucket.

It sounds like your buddy is going to be expected to do the work so it would be a good idea to see what he thinks about the whole deal.
