So there's this mint condition '77 Suzuki GS400XB with 18,000 miles one of my buddies is selling for $1000.

Assuming it's comfy, it's a nice looking bike and seems like it would make a great starter bike.

Thing is that I could barely find *anything* on the forums about this model, so what's the scoop?

(I just got my permit and, yes, I'm signed up for MSF on 7/18-7/19)

Im riding an 83 Yamaha XS400 and its my 1st bike... although 1000 bucks seems kinda steep for a 77.

that is very low milage for a 30 year old bike i would think...how long has it been sitting?

you might be looking at needing new tires, some engine work and other things of that nature depending on prior maintainence...sounds like a decent learners bike/commuter...but for a grand it might be a bit pricey.

"A cheaper model without the front disc brake, electric starter and gear indicator was sold in some countries under model name GS400XB."

Bah. Back to the drawing board

How is the Honda CB750?
