Ok so you may have seen my 81 cb650 in the show it off section I looked and didn't find a forum for suzukis so I said screw it and I will post some pics on here. I bought this bike for $200 it is rusted to hell and I have no idea how or if the motor runs. but this thing supposedly has 73HP (stock) dual front disks and a rear hydrolic disk, appears to be superior to my CB in performance so I would love to have the chance to ride both of them and see for sure.
TONS of rust, Story is that it was parked at the ski hill where the 2010 Olympics were held and just sat there for 10 years and then the owner died and the family said we don't want it and then the snow plow driver took it home then sold it to a guy who sold it to me!
There is a ton of pitting on the chrome but I can't afford new chrome so I am going to tin foil the piss out of it then sand the rough pitted spots smooth and then polish the piss out of it. I am going to do a compression test and see if it will fire up I am not going to spend and cash on it until I get the papers until then I will just waste my time on it!
