classic Suzuki GS550

 Suzuki Gs550Original apart from the front mudguard. which would have been chromed I believe. The rear rack is from an 850. looks shocking but I have left it on. in case somebody fancies using it still. I bought this several years ago. used it often and rode happily into London with it. many times (90 mile round trip)This bike is sold as a project. it hasn't been used for 3 years or so - the engine turns over freely on the kick start. battery is flat. The unleaded in the carbs will have gone off by now and no attempt has been made to start the engine. however when I used it last. there were no problems. in fact I think I'd had a good run all round Sussex with it. that day. A couple of weeks ago. I stupidly left a wood saw on the seat and forgot about it. it rained and the next day the seat was stained. It was shown once or twice at steam rallies (classic cars and bikes section :-) ) as a working classic and never failed to attract attention and stories from past owners of alike vehicles. good fun and I would ride it home!The chain is rusty. rear tyre has a slow puncture. seat base is corroded and generally it all needs a bit of chrome polish. As you can see an "as new" machine it ain't. but I wouldn't be selling it if I didn't need the room. it was a good bike which I enjoyed riding. Has a kick  & electric start. solid disks. twin shocks - they were the days!!In my view. this is a useable. eye catching & classic. pocket rocket. No guarantees given. nbsp; viewing highly recommended - it is in Findon Valley. just outside Worthing on the South Coast. A trailer will be required to remove it. Note. if you bid you are committed - please only do so if you understand this!
