Obviously its not a standard bike.

But assuming the front end is stock, Then I'd hazard a guess its an old Suzuki of some kind.

Yeah thats kind of the point Laughing Wouldn't be any good putting a picture up of a standard bike with all the stickers on and ask if you can tell what it is would it?

Hi

At a guess started out as a GS550 or GS750.

All the best

Well it looks antiquated mate.. Confused

I've seen threads on here of totally stock bikes which people are struggling to guess, Because of how old they are.

Well there is a thread killer Keith, well done.

There was a bit of a story behind that bike, he built it at a bike breakers when he was younger and working there, they gave it him as his little project and then put it up for sale after he finished it.


Anyway, he went to look at a GS thou that was being advertised in the local rag around 15 years or so later and when he turned up was shocked to see it was the one he built all those years ago, so bought it straight away. Cant believe he has sold it though, I wanted it as a project for me.
