1980 Suzuki GS550E, it runs fine, needs to have front turn signals reattatched (legal though to ride in SC without them, but I won't for very long). If all goes well I may have it this weekend, otherwise I'd have to wait till next sunday.

Paying $950, my dad doesn't believe it's a bad price, still gonna try and talk the guy down a bit. Needs a bit of cleaning but I'll happily do whatever work is needed on my new bike.

Ive got an 83 and the this is great, cheap on gas, easy to work on, and gives me no problems. Oh wait I think the bike is diffrent than mine. Oh well they are nice bikes to ride IMO

+1

nice bike. Should be a good starter bike. Easy to wrench on too I'd imagine.

Well it looks like I'm going to have to wait a week before I can get it. My guy who's going to buy the bike for me then deliver it wasn't able to get ahold of the seller yesterday to see if he'd take a check, then my mom let me know she doesn't have the gas money to meet my guy up halfway. Then I don't get another day off from work until next sunday. But that does allow me to get some more spending money (my checks get into the bank on tuesdays) and perhaps I can get a charger before I get the bike (will probably need it). Wish me luck that the seller doesn't get out squirrelly and tries to weasel out of the deal.

what he said, that GS550 is a perfect base for a cafe racer.

nice find there.
