Hello from Haelo

#1 Unread post by Haelo »

New to the forum and I'm taking my chance to say hello.

I recently purchased a 1983 Suzuki GS750ES, and as soon as I get all the rubber bits replaced I'll be able to enjoy it.

Which forum would be most appropriate for asking questions about my bike? I don't need any technical details, just... about it. Y'know?

Welcome to TMW, Haelo!

You just happened to join the forum on the number 1 moto-info site on the web! Here's some specs for your bike on this site: http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/motorcyc ... X750ES.htm

Enjoy your stay here, and keep posting!

By the way, in spite of it's age, that GS 750 was a real burner in it's day. Be careful with that throttle hand! :wink:

Yeah...and you should be able to ride cross-country without stopping for gas with that 19.51 gallon tank! :shock: :laughing:

that's about 4 gallons, maybe 4 and a bit...
the average bike will get a theoretical 20 km to the liter.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

With the re-emergence of naked bikes, one day soon, real men will be able to bring their motors out of the false shadows of molded plastic and show their motors to the world without fear of ridicule or shame.
