Maybe if he gets his asking price, he can afford some punctuation. :-\
Sorry, I forgot. After all, that is the Canadian Craigslist.
Darn sticky tires, too. Able to keep that bike on the walls like that.

If it wasn't on the other side of the country I'd be there in a heart beat. I don't think there were many of the FZR sold due to them being a little pricey for a 750 back in the day. Major difference between that and the original FZ apart from about 20% more power was the updated Delta Box aluminum frame similar to the FZR1000. For not a lot more money you could get new FZR1000 and for almost the same money a non-current year one.'84 GS750EF (Oct 2015 BOM) '79 GS1000N (June 2007 BOM) My Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/soates50/

GateKeeper
500 bucks and some TLC and she could look like mine....with probably another couple of hundred...
not a bad deal if u got the cash and time to tinker
I paid half as much for my FZ, and she turned out OK

Yeah gatekeeper yours looks fine
the bike has me thinking for sure but the inconsistency in the name has me bothered.
There appears to have been no such animal as an FZR750 at least accoring to the interwebs.
May be a Canadian livery they used I dunno.
Yoou have a link to your build btw?

Jeep. Just google "FZR750". Lots of hits. They even made a track ready "OW" model if you had the cash.'84 GS750EF (Oct 2015 BOM) '79 GS1000N (June 2007 BOM) My Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/soates50/

Oh I second what everyone is saying. The FZ that Gatekeeper and I have are great bikes and I wouldn't hesitate on that for $500. Unless the engine is trashed, I can't see how you could lose.
If you don't like the riding position you can easily tart it up and flip for some decent coin. Look how Gkeepers turned out and his was pretty beat up in comparison to this one.
Go for it my friend.
