Suzuki Other description

Suzuki GT750 Custom built Cafe Style Awesome condition! This is a turn heads motorcycle. Very attractive. Wherever I go with her everybody got interested and wants to know more about the bike. According to the last owner, this bike has participated in the Quail Motorcycle Gathering Show in Monterrey California and won the 1st place in its category. Basically, I bought this incredible bike from a collector and he gave me the complete description of the guy who transformed the bike. I must confess that am only a collector of nice motorcycles and don't understand much about the technical details. So, below I am just summarizing all the details about this motorcycle from a text with a vehicle description I have in my hands. "What you are looking at is a Cafe/Drag bike "custom" based on a 1974 Suzuki GT750 LeMans. This Suzuki as you can see has been very highly modified with much attention paid to everything. The engine and transmission are stock GT750. It had just under 10,000 mile when was bought. The engine was completely checked out and serviced with engine compression at 145psi on all three carburetors. Cooling system was flushed and radiator refinished in silver. The oil injection system was also totally cleaned out and correctly set. This engine is proven solid with NO rattles and completely reliable. It starts instantly on and runs perfectly. There is over $1,500 spent on the paint job on this bike. All chrome job was done by Jim of Deters custom metal polishing. There is over $1,500 worth of chrome and polishing on this Suzuki. The handle bars are Italian. Seat is an Omar Street-Tracker fiberglass pan. Tires are in great condition. Rims are shouldered alloy and polished, front is an Akront and rear is a matching DID. Chain sprockets are excellent. The pipes are Mossett expansion chambers made in Yorba Linda, CA. The pipers are powder coated high temp satin black with silver powdered silencers. This bike sounds absolutely nasty with out being overly loud. Fenders are cut down GS1000 with a 50's style bobber, license plate bracket was custom fabricated and chromed. New fork seals installed and front forks vacuum petcock is rebuilt with all new parts and works as it should. The tachometer mounted with the red line at 12 o clock out of necessity. There is no speedo on the bike although the cable still intact but blocked off. Engine covers are the finned Cafe style and all new gaskets were used upon it motor. The chain guard is black plastic from a 1972 GT750. This is a very unique bike and very well thought out unlike some of the others you may find, all effort has been made to make it a striking looking and sounding machine and still maintain all of the reliability. This Suzuki drives very nicely with no bad habits and is as reliable as a claw hammer. If you require attention this bike will certainly do it, and I am sure that if you wanted to show the bike, that it would be appreciated as well. It is very well done!" The motorcycle is located in Los Angeles California, with cover and battery tender. Every week it's turned on to have the engine in good condition. Since I bought have ridden the bike less than 1000 miles. Thank you for seem my listing and if you have any question do not hesitate to contact me. Good Luck!

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show.  On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca.  With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem.  When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season.  We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!

2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Specs Released

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Suzuki continued its nearly year-long tease for its new V-Strom 1000, releasing new pictures and full technical specifications for the highly-anticipated adventure tourer. We first saw the 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 at the 2012 Intermot Show in Cologne last October. For a concept, the V-Strom appeared close to being ready for production, and the new photos of the production model show very few visual changes from the past year.
