Title: FS 1977 GS6 125cc
Post by: tgb on March 03, 2016, 01:18:00 PM
This beautifully restored 10th anniversary bike has spent too much time in my garage since being restored both mechanically and cosmetically. In addition, the fiberglass tank has been professionally lined so you can run pump gas containing 10% ethanol without it melting the tank.

I have about $6500 into the project. I know, I spent too much but it is a character flaw I am trying to deal with.  It just do not have room for it so I would like to see it go to a good home.

As a bonus, I am throwing in a pair of early 80s Hi-Point boots and a front plate signed by John Penton himself!

Bike is street legal and I have the title in my name. Also, I have some spares including a bar mounted jetting kit, manual, a Bing carb and a Mikuni carb.

I will consider any reasonable offer.

Is that the stock pipe for the bike?

The pipe is from a 1978. This would not be the stock pipe for this year and model. Looks like a nice bike.

Great looking bike.  Gosh, these air-cooled small bores are rare!  Bet you have to keep that motor pegged!
