LOW-MILEAGE VINTAGE JAPANESE SUPERBIKE | ORIGINAL FACTORY EXHAUST | COMPLETE PROJE CT BIKE | FROM A PRIVATE 23-MOTORCYCLE COLLECTION DOES NOT RUN NEEDS WORK / RAN WHEN PARKED DECADES AGO NO TITLE / ASK ABOUT OUR TITLE PROGRAM Here's your opportunity to own a true Japanese classic! Offered for sale is this 1979 Suzuki GS750E , a legendary four-cylinder superbike from the golden era of Japanese motorcycling. Showing just 13,264 miles , this remarkably original survivor is an excellent candidate for recommissioning, restoration, or preservation. This motorcycle comes from Mike's private collection of 23 classic motorcycles , recently acquired by Kaplan Cycles from his estate. Mike was a dedicated motorcycle enthusiast who appreciated the craftsmanship, performance, and timeless styling of these vintage machines. This GS750E is one of three classic Suzukis from his collection that we're offering for sale. THE LEGENDARY SUZUKI GS750E The 1979 GS750E represents the final year of Suzuki's original eight-valve GS750 engine design, an engine renowned for its durability, smooth power delivery, and tremendous performance potential. The GS750 established itself as one of the standout motorcycles of its generation, earning an excellent reputation for its handling, reliability, and ability to deliver serious performance without sacrificing everyday rideability. Highlights include: 748cc air-cooled, four-cylinder, four-stroke engine Double overhead camshafts with eight valves Five-speed transmission Electric starting Dual front disc brakes Classic Suzuki GS-series styling Legendary engine durability and performance potential Excellent platform for a factory-correct restoration or vintage custom build These early GS750s have developed a loyal following among vintage Japanese motorcycle enthusiasts, and finding a largely original, complete example with mileage this low is increasingly difficult. ORIGINAL CONDITION – ONLY 13,264 MILES! What makes this particular GS750E special is its originality and overall completeness. The odometer shows just 13,264 miles , and the motorcycle retains nearly all its original factory equipment. Take a close look at the photos and video. This isn't a stripped-down basket case or a motorcycle that's been heavily modified over the years. It's a genuine classic survivor with an excellent foundation for restoration. Original equipment and notable features include: Original factory paint and bodywork Original Suzuki four-cylinder engine Original factory exhaust system, intact Original carburetors Original intake components Original factory airbox Original engine side covers Original cycle parts Factory-style seat with a replacement seat cover Café racer-style handlebars installed by the previous owner The original factory exhaust system is especially noteworthy. These exhaust systems are frequently replaced with aftermarket four-into-one headers, making an intact original system a desirable feature for collectors and restorers. The engine cases and side covers present well, with no obvious evidence of crash or tip-over damage observed during our inspection . The original paint adds considerably to the motorcycle's vintage appeal. This bike has the look and character of an authentic survivor, rather than something that has been extensively modified or cosmetically reinvented. EXCELLENT RESTORATION OR WINTER PROJECT! PLEASE NOTE: THIS MOTORCYCLE IS NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING AND IS BEING SOLD AS-IS AS A PROJECT BIKE. We recently purchased Mike's entire 23-motorcycle collection. With more than 240 motorcycles already awaiting service and restoration at Kaplan Cycles, we simply don't have the available shop time to go through every motorcycle ourselves. Rather than have this classic sit in our restoration queue, we're offering it directly to the next enthusiast who wants to bring it back to life. The motorcycle has not been fully serviced or recommissioned by our shop. The engine, fuel system, brakes, electrical system, and other mechanical components will need to be inspected and serviced as necessary before operation. Additional items to note: Motorcycle is currently not running. Fuel tank cap could not be opened during our inspection. We have the ignition key, but the correct tank key is NOT present. Fuel tank interior condition has not been verified. Motorcycle is being sold in its present, as-is condition. We encourage all interested buyers to review the photographs and accompanying video carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing. With its original paint, intact factory exhaust, original carburetors and airbox, complete engine, and just 13,264 indicated miles, it has all the ingredients of an excellent restoration candidate. You could pursue a factory-correct restoration, preserve its original survivor appearance, or carefully recommission it into a vintage rider. The GS750 engine has a reputation for being exceptionally durable, and the low indicated mileage makes this an especially interesting project. Actual mechanical condition will need to be confirmed during recommissioning. This is the kind of motorcycle we'd love to restore ourselves if we had the time! PART OF A 23-MOTORCYCLE ESTATE COLLECTION This Suzuki is one of 23 classic motorcycles recently acquired by Kaplan Cycles from Mike's estate. We're offering multiple vintage Hondas, Kawasakis, Yamahas, and Suzukis from the same collection, giving collectors and restoration enthusiasts an opportunity to purchase classic Japanese motorcycles that have been preserved for decades. Be sure to check our other listings for additional motorcycles from this remarkable collection. CONTACT KAPLAN CYCLES Questions?
