Hi Rob,
both nice in their own way. You will lilkely need lots of Carb cleaner and elbow grease before the tires

I will clean all the carbs and other small detail parts in the Ultra Sonic Cleaner.

Good find..........does that CB900 have the high and low two speed option?

I'm not sure. It's a 10 speed bike is what the seller told me. It's a HEAVY pig too with a separate gear box that takes its own fluid.

Here They Be

So here's a few photos of these 2 beasts. As can be seen they were a heavy load for my Dakota but bringing them both back in one trip saved me a far amount of time and gas. These 2 are not in as good a shape as the others I have bough but both can be saved with some medium sizes doses of TLC. Both appear to have good condition factory exhaust systems on them but they look a little on the rough side. The GS1100 is missing the side covers and the lad (a 73 year old fellow) could not find the air box for the CB900.

lucky guy. i got a huge single stall that could store 11-12 bike with room to work on most.... if u want u can ship a couple down here...

[79XS11F]

If your getting them cheap enough and can fix them up like most of the lads on this site can, their sort of like an investment ... buy for 100 to 300, spend not more then 300 on fix up and then sell for a dollar a cc in the spring. Buy in fall / winter, sell in spring /summer. That's my theory LOL

SWMBO just dont get it....

Boy that big suzuki should be a powerhouse!

[jetmechmarty]

Wasn't that Suzuki the bike that unseated the XS1100 as fastest? Nice finds! My problem is once this stuff comes into my garage, it never leaves! I never sell anything!
