86 GSX-R

[Stephen]

Jiust looked at a 86 GSX-R 750 with an 87 1100 motor. Guy selling it has 38MM carbs with K+N filters. Says the bike takes 7-10 seconds to start when cold. After it warms up runs fine. He is asking $900. It needs new tires. The fork seaks are fine, brakes, etc all ok. What do you think of the price, and does his explanation of the carbs situation make sense to you?

Sounds like a steal.

Sounds like a steal to me. A decent original one would be well over $2000.00 A really nice one would go for up to $3000.00 or more.

If I ever get my hands on one I'll restore it to original. Its the first year of a bike that set the standard. It's not a collector (yet). But I think it will be.

I'll take it

At that price sounds like a reasonable bet. The bike should start better, but this depends on the type of carbs fitted
