It looks to be the 1966-67 Sears Allstate and had a 125 2 port engine. The seat is not original nor is the paint. Let's just say she's had some work done. They probably aren't looking in the right place for the frame number or it's been ground off. The price is probably a little steep. There are assumptions made that vintage vespas are all of high value and some sellers over price them based on that. Because there are a few non original parts it is not really a restore so the value does drop. With no shots of the engine it may well have a LML engine in it. It's still a twisty and probably a lot of fun. It would be a good candidate for a Vermont title.

Water buffoloes are supercool! There is a live one on the OBX, I see it out on occasion. haven't seen one with deafening chambers before, glad it has 'silencers'. Yes, they need a disc brake or two.

For $580,000 someone will buy it. The car has a winning racing history and increases the value of the car.

Do I want this? yeah, I think so....... myrtlebeach.craigslist.org/mcy/d/myrtle-beach-1972-suzuki-gt750-water/7281800489.html
I've only seen a couple of these Suzuki's back in my younger days, but I remember they were insanely powerful. My friend Ron had a Kawasaki 750 like that. It was the 3 cylinder, 2 stroke setup. My 750cc 4 cylinder, 4 stroke wasn't even close to that 2 stroke engine configuration. Those bikes are fast as Hell! I remember Ron doing a wheelie down a 35mph main road for more than 1/2 a mile on his.Also, not too many bike in 1972 were water cooled. That was the period that factories were introducing water cooling on bikes. a few years later, mid-70's, water cooled bikes became more common. |

You would think they would at least clean it up for the money.

The Kawasaki H2 750, was a sports bike. That's why the big price difference in prices between them now. Still a cool bike to own. |
