I went to check out two bikes today. A GSX550 and a GSX750. I was positively surprised by their performance, brought a friend with a driver’s license to take ’em both for a test drive and his verdict was very positive, even though he normally drives a Fireblade…
I’m having such a hard time deciding which one to get. They both have pros and cons.
The 750 has recently been overhauled with new piston-rings, renewed valves and all sealings relplaced. Tires, chains and such are in mint cond. Price $2,875
The 550 hasn’t as much power, hasn’t been newly maintained except oil and air filter change, but is in general good condition any way. Tires are 6 yrs old, but well preserved. Some occasional noise from (i think) the cam-chain (timing-chain?) this noise disappeared when the engine was warm. Price $2,340
whatcha-think? I’m gonna give my decision to the sellers by tomorrow evening.
