Hi :)

[Lel]

I'm Lel and live in South Wales (UK)

i fell for the GS750 after hearing it's engine, modern bikes just aren't the same.

im currently searching for one but could I ask, I'm assuming although shaft drive has a tiny bit less power than chain, the 850 being 100 more than the 750 more than makes up for this?

other than the engine and drive, am I right in thinking the 750 & 850 are essentially the same or is one much better than the other?

Thanks in advance for any replies

Welcome, Taff- The frames are the same basic design, someone more familiar with both will chime in here with handling comparisons. Is Lel short for Llewyllen? First names' Kenyon, might give you a clue to the question-glad to have you on board!

Originally from England, only lived in this beautiful place for last 3.5 years.

no, everyone asks what's it short for but Lel is my full name as found on my passport

My understanding is they are pretty bullet proof so nothing special to watch for?

will be looking for one with under 20,000 miles with a sound engine and not worries about rest as that's easily replaced

Just look for the nicest sample. The 1000 is lighter than the 850 so you may as well keep the radar up for one of those as well.

Does the 1000 have that same gorgeous sound the 750 has? Did have a quick look but they seem to be double the price
