Honestly, don't get the older GS's, because they use a paper gasket for the valve cover, which means you will have to replace that gasket every time you do a valve adjustment; and that's a major pain in the a$$ and very time consuming.

The early 500's and 750 VFR's had crank bearing issues, '83-84.  Should have been recified through recalls.

Also, see previous my post above for a few more, I modified it.

Thanks. That's a really nice Maxim. Again, I like sportier, but I appreciate a nice bike when I see one. And that lean angle is impressive. New bars and different seat, perhaps?

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Yeah, so are you all caught up? I'm fighting as long as I can, but as I have to move home, I also will probably need to sell my girl. f%$k, I hate this.

But that Interceptor is hot like fire. I really like it. As well as some of the other bikes he's posted.

Scratch is making this nightmare a little easier to handle. I owe him.

I wanted that exact GSX-R750 but it looks like more of a project than anything. I'm thinking it's been down.

But those old ones with the dual headlamps like that and the HUGE tails...so sweet.

Um, that CBR is EXACTLY what I want. Those huge bodies on the F2's are so badass. Man alive, that's such a sweet bike.

I'm gonna have Pastrami talk to a certain ex-forum-member about his GS for sale locally. I'm still debating though if I want to get an older 600 anyways while I'm buying something. I'm still not sure, but it has been a consideration for a while to get a 600.

Thanks again Scratch.

Someone loves Seca's. You're not Kenny Edwards, are you?

I saw those, but thanks for reposting. I like the grey one a lot.
