    I thought the 860GT was the ugliest...the GTS had a bit more shape to it.

    Some one in the add is a little confused though as the 900 is the same capacity as the 860....864cc. the 900 was just a badge exercise.

    Dad bought one in '78 near new from Aussie. Had it three weeks. Some guy arrived from Wellington with a pile of cash and rode it away....apparently Dad spent 45 minutes trying to get it started with that stupid kick start after a late shift one night and was enough....the electric starter even less help.

    A nice 90/6 with twin discs replaced it.

    He could have got 1 1/2 nice CB 750's for that.

    Certainly better to drive than other cars of that era.

    I did have a Fiat 500 ( self confessed Italian as opposed to cookie cutter Japanese fan)
    BMW's and Fiats?
    You are a man of taste.

    Also there is a 128 Coupe:


    I always wanted one, but couldn't afford it, back in the day.

    I've just put my hand up for the lot. What parts do you want?
    Edit, the price is click bait, he's selling the stuff per bike on an offers basis & sounds a tad disorganised.

    Gave no indication on anything & finds texting pics to be above his skill set.
    I think it may be weed related. Not just a normal harmless social bit either.

    I see it's a job lot so that says he doesn't want to be bothered with detail. Dangle cash - to be handed over on pickup - and you'll probably do OK.

    I can see why you want the 1135 - but the rest is going to have to be sold off.

    BTW, texting pics is above my skill set too, LOL.

    That had to have been for the lesser DOHC version.

    Having said that I have been offered one (and the guy has a 900) if I want to do a Spencer replica.

    A mate went for a look and came back with a fair bit of other stuff sounds like he has more than just GSX bits.

    Hey Barry, I have got loads of GSX1100 components myself. Included in those are 3 clutches. Come up to Blue Mountains sometime and see if any of them would suit what you need.
