Ric. Do you have an estimate what a good mechanic would charge for all of that? Do you have an idea what a low mileage, overall very nice 700s should be? Gary On Thu, May 21, 2020 at 8:54 PM Graham Rogers wrote: > Well, there you go! > > On Thu, May 21, 2020 at 8:51 PM gary glick wrote: > >> Gr

Graham. They both look great. To me they are both utilitarian. The 700s is more attractive in that it is better equipped than the 750. Six speed, fuel gauge, center stand, drive shaft. The fact that the 700s has more low end power and higher revs on the highway is inconsequential. I will be only s

Ric: Since you have been thru this already. If I find one with low mileage what would I probably have to do to the machine due to age? Are there parts readily available? Thanks. Gary On Thu, May 21, 2020 at 8:27 PM Graham Rogers wrote: > I have owned both, many of them and I like both. Just abo

I have owned both, many of them and I like both. Just about any 700S you find will need work. All mine did and I’ve owned at least 20 of them. The 750 is a great bike, very smooth and incredibly good motor. I now have just an 86 700S Halloween edition (black, red and orange decals). I could easi

You have a far better chance in the States to find one. Here in Canada far a few in between, mine only had 6000 Kms on it but sat for 12 yrs so major work to bring it back. Hope you can find one, Great bikes

Thanks. Just read about the 84-86 700sc. Sounds like a superior bike to the 91-03 750. It is not "cheaped out" like the 750. Fuel gauge,center stand, 6 spd etc. What are the chances of finding a pristine 700s? Red or the blue would be fine. Gary On Thu, May 21, 2020 at 4:43 PM Ric Holder wrote:
