What could a Suzuki RED1974GT750
that had been in storage for more than ten years be worth?
Should I sell it as is? Should I put a few thousand into restoring it for riding or selling?
thanks

Many factors to consider.
Are you mechanically inclined and can do all the needed maintenance.
Got the tools and gauges to sync carbs and adjust valves.
What does it need as far as seals, intake manifolds, airbox rubber good, etc etc
What does the paint look like.
Is it realistic to redo it if there are a lot of parts missing.

Lots to consider here. Pics of the bike from BOTH sides will help. As well as some of the instruments, the forks, side covers on the engine, seat, under the seat and the seat pan. Basic things that will ell us the condition and help us spot whats all there..or not.

A few thousand is about right to restore it especially if it needs crank seals from sitting too long. You will need to do a compression test to see. My 1976 GT had 11,000 original mikes on it and had been stored for years. Consequently the seals were shot and a crank rebuild was needed.

Chuck, can you make a little video or something to show us how to adjust the valves on a two stroke?
