Title: gs550 spotted....
Post by: ohgood on September 03, 2007, 05:45:13 PM
Took the toyota to pickup the wife from work tonight. Man, I love that truck. Anyway, stopped for gas on the way home and spotted a gs550 at the pumps. Guy said it had 13,000 miles on it. Looked a little rough, but the chrome wasn't bad off. Talked for a minute or so. He fired it up, and it obviousely needed the carbs cleaned/sync'd. It was a little rough on idle, a little high too. When he took off, it rev'd so fast, much faster than a gs500. Silky smooth above 2k rpm or so.

One of those would make a really nice cafe project.

Just wanted to post about the 550.
