GS750 Garage find Project :)
Hi ya all, Had someone ask me if i was interested in clearing out a garage & buying 2 motorbikes that have been stood in a garage a few years with out been touched.
Thinking to myself wot on earth have they go so i went & had a look.
Opened the garage door to see loads of junk & a glance of a bike, the old guy moved some stuff for me & there was a bag of ###t diverson, ummm i was thinking, Junk lol. he said that does run but requires a exhaust system. then he said at the back i have another bike that needs to go. so i helped move stuff & managed to get to the back, moved a few boxes and pulled the cover back to find this GS750. i then was thinking at last a bike worth saving/having. the guy said it does run. i said ah ok thats cool. when was the last time ya had it running. he replied " Ah not long ago, around 7yrs ago " so i know this does want restoring & some TLC. i asked what kind of money are you looking for? he reply was make me a offer or ill just have the scrap man come take them and have them crushed. i thought ill have a gamble & sated my offer. shocked he was as to my offer and said when do i want them. i said id defo have the GS but not so bothered about the diverson but he was happy at my offer and i paid him and took both bikes home, checked & tested the bikes & both ran & i ebayed the diverson & sold & delivered it.
