AM DONE

Of all the bikes I've owned my1975 Suzuki GT 550 was the most reliable. I brutalized this poor bike and it never gave me a problem. I stretched the chain so badly that I had to take links out. The previous owner striped the screws to the oil gasket so i never changed the oil just added to it when the oil went below the window port hole. One time I had a few drinks and shifted it from 4th to 1st gear at a speed i thought for sure would destroy the transmission coming off the highway.. I left it outside most of the times to the elements and never had a problem turning it over to start.
 
Maybe I will consider one in a few years after @sonny has repored on the full riding experience. Should have about 30k miles experience by the. And worked out all the nuances. My bike right before the R3T was a Yamaha FJR Sport Touring. Yamaha makes great bikes.

I hope it doesn't still have the 3 year old gas in it..if it does you'd better suck it all out and put new gas in it and run it a bit..
