[Guest]

A guy I know (actually my mechanic) is selling this bike.

Anyone here have experience with them? Specific things I should look for?

We are looking to maybe do a trade for some work that he needs done building a small lean too on the side of his shop…
I'm going to go and take a look on Saturday.

The seller is a great mechanic and a real straight shooter kinda guy. He says it needs new tires and the speedo sometimes stops working. Other than that its in great shape. He's selling because he bought a newer Shadow1100

This is an excellent site for that particular bike.
No doubt you could find any common problems.

They are a good bike - and that price isn't too bad for the miles (kilometers). They sit a little tall and are a heavy bike. The engine is solid and uses over bucket shims similar to the same period GS's (only 25mm diameter).

I owned a DOHC 750 a few years ago and enjoyed riding the bike. The engine is perky when compared to the earlier SOHC engines. The stock seat was very comfortable.

Im not understanding the question. At that price and condition, the question would be "whats the fastest way to get there and bring it home".

Kelly and NADA both say close to $2,000 for that bike.
