'77 gs750 low end

[Guest]

Hey! i just bought a gs750. it runs right now, but the brakes had been removed by the PO. Working on getting it rideable right now. I know I will find out soon enough, but just for grins... Whats the low end on these bikes like? I hear lots of great things about the top end, but what about the get-up-and-go?


THankS!

The 750 is so so, it's made to be wound out, but it does OK down low. The get up and go is to be found at the upper end of the tachometer. It can accelerate a little bit at low RPMs... in a low gear anyway.
You could ride it that way, like if you were a little old lady or retarded or something, but really why would you want to when it is so obviously made to wind out?

To pick up and haul from 45 in traffic.... or a stop light...

0-80 is really all im concerned with... What you said is good to know, though. Just need to get it wound up asap, then.

Wind it out from the begining, it's a wet clutch.
