    My '82 GPz 550 made 75 rwhp on a dyno after about the same set of mods. That one looks to need a lot of tidying up, though.

        Assuming the motor work was done right, they are truly great bikes. I spent too much doing mine, but it was fun to keep up with the first generation of Hurricane 600's when they came out.

          I wouldn't buy a bike like that based on HP. It's a classic.

            I think he likes it outright, but the mods, if done well, definitely add to the fun factor.

              That would be a fun resto-mod!

              I bet it can be had for less than a thousand!

              I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.

                  Its worth buying but based on the pictures but I bet its no turn key example. There are other options than Wiseco BB but I have never tried em

                    $1,100 CAD = $770 USD. Cheap enough at that price.
