Sport dilemma
Posted: Tue May 08, 2012 4:31 pm
I have a small dilemma:
I've got an opportunity to buy a 1990 Sport 750, it's in pretty good shape, rear wheel is converted to 17" and all original parts included. My other option is a 1997 SS 750. I'm having a hard time choosing between these two. The sport has 57000 km's on it and the SS has only 21000. The price is about the same for both, but the sport has some spare parts included in the sale.
My plans are not to keep the bike original, but to replace the fairings with a 70's style front fairing. I've also planned to do a new cafe-racer style rear section to the bike.
Of course all mods will be done so that the bike can be returned to original, so even if I end up buying the sport, it won't be ruined.
So, what to do...
