colours
hello everyone infrequent user here! my bike (750m) is painted gypsy candy gold ,i think thats the correct name! when i had it done i was very impressed but now a few years later im thinking of changing colour (the bike not me!) i quite like the silver but was thinking when i eventually come to sell it which is the most popular /saleable colour? after all i dont want to be paying out £200 or so for an unpopular paint job!

Re: colours
The correct colour for the model you have is always the best when selling the bike. In the meantime, have a look here - http://www.suzukicycles.org/ - which shows all years model/colours. Of course, if you're keeping the bike for a few years, paint it whatever colour you want. My VW/Peugeot with matching side panels paintwork works for me!

Re: colours
yes ive had a look at the different colours for the year (1975) grey im not overly keen and red is ok but i prefer what i have already , from what i can work out using the internet the 1976 red 750 A is the most popular and i cant disagree but like alan said i should stick with the correct paint for the year so im keeping the same colour for now at least!

Re: colours
You might have noticed that I had the side panels painted to match. I just don't like the black side panels unless the tank is black and had the GS ones done Maui blue too.
Only anoraks don't like them, so win win in my book.
That Gold looks good, and it's YOUR bike anyway......

Re: colours

No, you'll find they are the correct colours for the chap that's riding it !
and the different wheels, exhausts, rad, rack and anything else that's fitted by the owner is alright too ! !

Yes, the 'incorrect' warning stickers are there (viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9913&hilit=Decals+for+the+non+anal), LED headlight, twin tone horns, radiator, GS1000 calipers, modern tyres with modern air in, usb charger for the slack nag, top box & panniers, semi synth 2t oil and unfortunately, modern petrol. Makes it the bike it should have been and we go touring on it 2 up.
Definitely not a show queen (even though I did get a trophy at a show with it), it's for riding, like all my bikes!!!
Cheers for that Scotch, another chap that doesn't 'do' standard.
