I rode two-stroke street bikes for eight years before I got the GS. RD400's and H1's would beat my GT550 in a straight line, but the GT had a torque curve that looked like a big scoop of ice cream. Perfect for accelerating out of sharp corners. I never did anything to the engine, but I highly modified the suspension. The front had modified damper rods, added fork bearings, fork brace, and modified springs. The rear shocks were about an inch taller than stock.

And that three cylinder was so smooth. Too bad it had a weak ignition. And replacing and adjusting three sets of points and condensers was a pain and expensive.

yikes, points. wonder if theres been a conversion kit worked up anywhere?

Guess you just need to move down here... the only bikes on CL that are under 2 grand are Chinese mopeds. When a good deal does come up, I've seen them vanish in less than 4 hours. It's nuts.
