When using SuzukiCycles as a reference, I think it's important to recognize that the site is pretty much Euro-Centric, and the US variants are frequently not included. Spoke-wheeled 750B's, and 'C's never had twin front discs in the US.

The GS 750 was released for the public market in 1977...period. The month / year that is stamped on the sticker is there because BY THE LAWS it was required that the month and year of manufacture was to be placed there.
How would someone expect Suzuki to have their projected release numbers built in time for thier 1977 release one might ask. Simple..they STARTED BUILDING THEM in mid 1976 so as to amass the shipping stock necessary for the models maiden launch.
My bike was stamped August 1976 but that doesnt make it a 76..it makes it an early production bike for STOCK PILING for release in 1977..nothing more and nothing less.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

Bike sold for $1831. Decent money for that bike I'd say. Just hope the buyer isn't foolish enough to think the bike is some special pre production unit like described in the ad. Hopefully the buyer will happen along and read this thread.Ed

Sounds about right. I'm glad the scammer didn't take someone for thousands more than it's worth.Comment

On a completely different note
I have an old Fender Amp that's stamped with the serial number A11111. That's a lot of steak sauce, but doesn't add to the value unfortunately."Men will never be free until Mark learns to do The Twist."

As rusty as that example is, I was shocked to see it go for more than $1,100 myself.Originally posted by Nessism View Post
