Another outstanding classic bike that you may find on today’s market place for very low prices is the Suzuki Gs 750. The Suzuki Gs 750 was a fantastic mid-range bike invented from 1976 to 1983. The I’m rather the fan of the old Suzuki’s, they may not be the most powerful or progressed (for their production time), but they sure are fun to ride. The Suzuki Gs750 was introduced with an air-cooled DOHC 4 stroke engine that turned out regarding 63 horsepower. Not sufficient to break the speed of sound but a great deal of pick-up for a sport bike this size. There are assorted models available starting with the 750 in ’76-’78, GS750E in ’79-’80, GS750L also ’79-’80, and in the end the GS750G and GS750GL in 1981. All had a 5-speed gearbox and a front disc rear drum brake setup. One thing in regards to Suzuki Gs motorcycles I am in particular fond of is their capacity to handle abuse and provide good reliability. Especially for a rider today who wants to take delight in the classic style of a Gs750 yet doesn’t want to spend each waking moment tuning the bike and making adjustments. In fact the Suzuki Gs750 is a perfective prospect for restoration or customization as well. There are various Cafe kits available for those looking to relive the days when these bikes used to fly at crazy speeds down race tracks and a lot of likewise go the bobber/chopper route as well. These bikes are very simple and easy to work on so customizing one to suit your tastes is something that may be tackled even by the somewhat inexperienced mechanics out there. Now on to the ride.. The Suzuki Gs750 is a specially stable and well handling bike that is capable of handling and stopping the power it puts out with ease. I still feel the brakes leave a little to be desired but that is reasonably mutual of all older sport bikes. The best percentage regarding these Gs750′s is that they are not only ample still today, but you may pick up very clean examples for beneath $3,000 dollars and decent running bikes for $2,000. At those prices why not add one to your collection?

To me the sound had a certain flatness, which I attribute to the way it was recorded and engineered. This being said, I consider the quality of the performance and of the piece itself to be outstanding. This is the only part of these previews about which I have a negative opinion. The rest of it is pure gold. EDIT: After I finished the downloading I went back and listened to the beginning of the piece and I am astounded at the brilliance and clarity of this recording. In analyzing why my opinion changed so much, I think it must be because of the way Amazon presents the samples. I suspect that there is a great difference in bit rate between what I heard on line and what I heard from my computer. Until I listen to the album as a whole I can only point out a few particulars. Track No. 4 really grabbed my attention. If I could play like this I would call myself a real guitar player. Tracks 1 and 10 both start with almost an eerie dissonance, creating a sense of mystery which makes me want to come back and listen to the entire recordings. Track No. 3 is Pavarotti, and I would have downloaded the whole album just to get this recording. It sounds to me like this is a live recording rather than a studio session, and perhaps this accounts for the less than wonderful sound of the strings at the beginning of the piece. Again, I’m criticizing the sound of the recording, not the quality of the performance. Also, maybe it’s just me, but it seems like there’s an unintended pause before the Maestro starts to sing. Listen for yourself. I don’t know quite what it is, but I sincerely doubt that Pavarotti missed an entrance. I consider this album to be an outstanding collection of some really different types of music, and I will recommend it to others. 42 of 49 people found the following review helpful. 1. …and bells by John Luther Adams, born 1953 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. |
