1978 Classic Japanese Sports Tourer For Sale

I purchased this bike in 2018, thinking, it'll be last bike I'll ever buy...
Then Triumph bought out the new Rocket3.
So I'm looking for a good home for what must be one of a few unmolested original examples of this 70's superbike.
Original paint on Tank, Tail piece, Seat trim, Swing arm and Frame.
Chrome is excellent, except for the left hand silencer. Where it has rusted from inside in three places and lifted the chrome. Not blowing.
Since I've had this bike I've replaced
All three front brake hoses, with genuine Suzuki hoses. (What a difference that made.)
Chain, sprockets and drive shaft o'ring
Rear wheel bearings and seal
Engine oil and filter
All brake fluid
Fork oil
Tyres, discs and pads very good condition.
Passed it's MOT end of May. Although, now registered as Historic vehicle and exempt from Tax and MOT
I've set the ignition and balanced the carbs.
Starts first touch, hot or cold, and pulls like a train. No smoke.
I've done 2250 miles on this bike, including touring Southern Ireland, trouble free.
The seat that's fitted is a low profile one from another GS I had years ago.
It was recovered in Rolls Royce leather by one of the upholsterers there.
I can refit the original seat if you want, Both come with the bike. Which still has the original cover on it, in almost perfect condition.
I don't think you would find one as good anywhere. Even have the original 2 keys.
After 43 years there are obviously some scratches, marks and chips to some finishes, due to past maintenance, liquid spills and general use.
They add to the character and authenticity.
It will only be original once.

Overall this is a fine example of an appreciating original classic
If you want any more pictures or info let me know.
