I am a NEW member but hope to soon be also a new OWNER.
Located in Georgia--45 miles NE of Atlanta (15 mins from Road Atlanta)
.
As a hobby I try to restore early 80's to 90's bikes--about Two a year. Last two were a 1979 CBX and a Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr.
Currently working on a 1982 Suzuki GS1100E. I restore the bikes and then find a DESERVING and APPRECIATIVE rider who will give the bike a new home. Not for profit--just enjoyment.
Well I'm now looking for an XS for ME--to KEEP (if I don't get too old and it gets too heavy).
DREAM BIKE would be a Midnight Special but a limited budget means I'll probably have to settle for a more common "fixer upper" . Prefer a Standard with square headlight / gauges. COMPLETE bike that needs brakes, tires, maybe chain and sprockets, carb rebuild (hopefully not) . A bike that was lovingly moved to the back of the garage because of "lifestyle changes, kids, newer bike or ...you get the idea. Valid Title is important but not a deal breaker. No title means bike must be 1983 or Older. Bike must be STOCK--please no bobbers, rat bikes, super duper customs etc and stock colors a real plus--Please no pinks, purples, green etc. Stock colors.
Would LIKE a stock exhaust -BUT- a nice 4-1 would be acceptable. Stock carbs and airbox please--no PODS.
Would prefer a bike close enough that I can view pictures and then drive to see (within 200 miles) would be nice. I DO NOT have a truck / trailer so if bike is not rideable would have to rent those to do pickup--added costs involved there as you can guess. But again for the "right" bike not a deal breaker.
IF you have a bike you are contemplating moving on to a new owner who will cherish it and take good care of it PLEASE let me know what you have . You could possibly have exactly what I need / want and we can proceed to make a deal.
SORRY for the long drawn out post but trying to find a bike and tell a possible seller as much as I can about what I'm trying to find.
In advance THANK YOU for any / all help.
Regards
Rick
