Hi

Frame and wheels look like an old Suzuki GS/GSX to me.

Maybe an early GSX1100.

All the best

As Keith says GSX1100 or the 750, can tell by the rocker cover chrome. Wink

Yep, GSX 1100 or 750. I have seen that bike close up and it truly is a remarkable piece of engineering. Mechanically its spot on. asthetically its got all the beauty of a broken skip.

I quite like it. Thumbs Up

What kind of remarkable feets of engineering? Such terminology I usually use to describe landmark bikes with great feats in technology or performance - I can only see a rotting piece of..................motorcycle, with other rotting bits nailed/glued/welded to it............ Neutral
