fs: Short Stroke GSXR750

**Squiggles** · 16th May 2007, 20:16

1988 Oil Cooled Short-stroke GSXR750, suzuki's revolutionary bike with a bulletproof motor, TQ cars are still racing round with these in them, they last a lifetime.

I bought her with 62k on her 6 months ago (70k now), the previous owner was a summer only rider with a work-injury, for my purchase he replaced the front tyre which is now nearing the end of its life but is still warrantable, rear was replaced 2k ago so plenty of meat.

I did a blissful 3 week tour of the south island after buying and have done only a few shorter trips since, i found it comfortable to ride (not what i expected), only getting sore knees after 400k stretches

Beautiful bike to ride, but i've decided that maybe we're just not meant to be

so here she is,

70k on the clock and looked after and serviced like only a horny man wishes...

In the last thousand k's i have done a complete service:
oil + filter (Motul, previous owner used Mobil 1 from memory)
new plugs
new Pads (all replaced)
new Fuel lines
new accelerator and clutch cables
new x-ring chain and sprockets (within the last 100)
and a good lubing and torquing of all the cables and bolts i could find
Carbs were serviced when i bought her.

Cosmetically she looks like she has been ridden, but not crashed, so little knicks, small scrapes and a wee bit rough down the bottom where she fell over in the shed

i was thinking 3900, what do you all think?

Reg'd till march 08 warranted till the 26th of this month.

Will take some better photo's if its a sunny day tomorrow

Bike is now on trademe http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-100593866.htm

Hey mate, I bought your RGV250 off you. I'm selling my RF400, if that sells I will be dead keen on your bike. Could you send me any pictures of the bike out side so I can see what she looks like in the suns light.

I love these bikes!
