I traded my raged out 91 barretta for a suzuki gt550 1976. The old man started it up for me and I took it for a test. I was suprised at the acceleration. I got it up to 95mph in a matter of seconds. It needs a little work but nothing major. The cool thing is that it only has 16000 miles and I was suprised when he gave me the original title. Hes been the only owner. He said he loved cruising on it, but hes to old and to many medical problems. I think its gonna be a vintage. And you cant beat the quick acceleration for a bike that old. Hell, I think its damn near one of the original crotch rockets. r.d
