A true rare barn find, you will be bidding on a 1985 Suzuki GS700E! The GS700E was not a well known bike, most heard of the GS700ES but the GS700E was a stripped down, slightly lighter version. Back in the mid 1980s the U.S. had a high tax on japan bikes, this caused a drop in sales do to the price needed for sale. No 700's were sold in 1984 and come 1986 it was replaced but the GSX700 making this truly a 1 year only motorcycle. This bike was rode into its current storage spot. It has not been started in about 2 years. Its was covered but the front calipers are unbolted due to pushing it around and they started to rust or freeze up. rebuilding them would be very painless. this bike is sold as a parts or project due to the fact it has not ran in so long and needs brake work. It has a clean WI title and would bee perfect for a old sport bike restore. the graphics and paint are faded and the seat has some rips but all and all it would be a very good bike.
