project bike

[diesel]

This guy at work gave me his 88 ninja 750. It's been sitting around in his garage for 10 years. Here's a pic with some of the fairings off. I'm going to rebuild the carb, change plugs, fluids, and filters and if it runs, I'll paint it and sell the beast.

I gotta get this thing out of my garage before my busa eats it!

[flynjay]

Naaah, give it stkr00 as a track bike. Just a thought..


Then he could keep his busa

If I were mechanically inclined I'd try something like that, but since I'm not . . .

LMAO...that's a good one.

When I said "used", I didn't mean antique.

Nothin against your project there diesel...I've always had a soft spot for older bikes that are fixed up. That 750 looks like it could be a nice stablemate for the Busa when you're done.

very nice good luck with the project a kid in my home town picked one of them up last summer to bad he blew it up Let all his buddies ride it and they dropped it a few times lucky for him it wasn't the best thing to start with or well probly was great for a first bike since it was so ruff no hard feelings when it did fall

I'm sure that it would be a nice first bike for somebody.

Old ninja 750+punched out ZX-11 motor+stretched arm=moneymaker........
Just a thought!

[warbrown]

That's a nice find for the price.

I'd get it running and keep it as a spare "disposable bike" for stunt practice, friends to ride, etc.

Very cool. A friend of mine has an '86 Ninja 1K "Top Gun" bike. It's pretty nice, and no slouch either.

[GSXRFANN]

I like older bikes too. They kind of have thier own personality. Sort of like the Busa.

My boss bought one of those a few years back, but the motor was blown so he contacted some motor buildings out in Cali and he bought a badazz motor from them. He claims in it 200 hp, never seen it run but it definately sounds mean

[diesel]

I'm just going to have fun rebuilding it and then try to get a fast $1k . After that, I'll probably look for a busted up busa to fix. I'll keep that one.

[FJRider]

I'd like to run across a '73 Kaw'ie 750 triple for sale.

My brother just recently gave one away to a guy. The 86 was big, but for its day - would move some ass!

[shenoyp]

Im not really into "older" bikes... Then again thats just my taste

[Gundecker]

Nice "early" sporty. And the price is right! Hey FJRider, I've got a '73 H2 750 trip. It's definitly a project bike. They were something in their day. Anyone who has been on a runaway 2stroke will never forget it.
PM me if you're interested.

[busaconvert]

Ahhh! Brings back memories.

yea those were fun Did my first wheelie (past my dad's friend and his son who were riding a BMW) on a streetbike on that one (dad was driving tho..yea thats how I got this way haha). I might have snuck it out on an occasion or two

[TheDude27]

Wish I had some room for more bikes I'd like to pick up a RG500 Gamma just for fun. Almost bought one as a first streetbike (glad I didn't since its not really ideal for long distance trips that I do).
