TiZiK Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) These 2 RGs are for sale close to me. I'm first in line for when the guy gets back in town. Talking to him, he says the blue one is fully complete, but has a blown bottom end. The second parts bike has a complete engine in unknown condition, but no front end. What would you do? Buy both for $800 canadian dollars? Or just get the complete one for $500 CAN and rebuild the engine? I work as a tech at a Suzuki dealer and mostly all parts needed are available, and at a staff discount. Edited March 8, 2016 by TiZiK 2 Quote Link to comment

caferacerdan Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 get both of em. that way you got plenty of spares to hand 1 Quote Link to comment
IanC Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Parts aren't getting any easier to find for these. Get both so you have spares. Or .. the price of these is getting pretty hefty, buy both, fix both, sell one, profit. 1 Quote Link to comment

spondonturbo Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I don't think you need phone a friend or ask the audience here - its that obvious lol. Why would you not buy both ???? 1 Quote Link to comment
TiZiK Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 It was kind of a rhetorical question. Haha Waiting for the guy to get back in town. Meanwhile, just scored an 89 Gsxr 1100. Complete and running for $400! Beat that guy up for it. Ha-ha needs the usual stuff tho. Chain, sprockets, tires, battery, carb clean etc but it's all there. Definitely a buy now, think later.... 1 Quote Link to comment
badgerkdd Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Have you discovered a rich vein of OSS in the Canadian Mountains or something? Oh while you're splashing cash, you may need a bigger garage too ! 1 Quote Link to comment
TiZiK Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 The guy is back in town. Have plans to go this mo day to pick them up. Wish me luck. Hopefully they aren't complete turds Quote Link to comment
badgerkdd Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Well good luck then Quote Link to comment
TiZiK Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 So went on the road trip today. Decided to pass. They were in rough shape. The blue tank was so rusted the gas cap was just floating. The second tank was rusted out along the seams. They were stored outside, near the saltwater coast. The carbs were fuzzy with corrosion. Every piece of plastic need attention. The list goes on. There is a shop locally selling one I great shape. Running. Riding. Complete. They're asking 3995 Canadian. It would cost me more than that, plus a few years, to bring this up to snuff. Ah well.....

badgerkdd Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Sounds like a wise decision to pass. Make the most of what you have bought and now enjoy the spring Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I almost bought an RG80 Gamma for my son last week. But my wife talked me out of it since our son is only 7 years old. 6 Quote Link to comment

Captain Chaos Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I already have three bikes to choose from. And besides an RG80 would have trouble with my er.... "ample" figure. Quote Link to comment
