1971 Suzuki TM 400

-no hidden reserve-

1971 Suzuki TM400M - Early serial numbered bike with a build date of April 1971. Oil injection has been removed and bike runs on pre-mix now. Brand new crank seals along with a new 2nd over bore top-end just installed, so this bike will need to be broken-in properly by next owner. Excellent early original OEM Suzuki fenders (very hard to find), restored rust free OEM tank to perfection, beautiful original Akront rimmed wheels with good Metzler tires. Aftermarket Bassani pipe is almost perfect, which really smooths out the '71's brutal powerband while adding even more power. In addition to this pipe, a 1 lb. flywheel weight was attached to ignition. Correct forks rebuilt w/original style shocks. New seat cover. Correct airbox with new Uni filter. Frame/swingarm is stock and un-modified, and in great shape too. The combination of pipe & flywheel-weight helps these first year bikes with better traction and power delivery. Most people don't know that Suzuki quickly realised that these '71 bikes were drastically overpowered for their suspension, so beginning with the '72 bikes power was systematically reduced year by year in order to create a better balanced race machine. The mods on this bike with flywheel and pipe really make this bike much more user friendly, but still very fast. Bike has been restored and is really beautiful.

This bike is also for sale on my website AzMikesVMXbikes.com, and I reserve the right to end auction early with an acceptable offer. Any buyers wishing to make offer may contact me and I will insert a Buy-it Now option here on ebay so that buyer may end the auction early.

Motorcycle So Big It Needs Training Wheels

Tue, 21 May 2013

Apparently, the American motto of “bigger is better” has struck a chord with someone in China, of all places. This giant beast of a motorcycle measures over 14 feet long and almost eight feet tall, and was built by a Chinese sewage plant worker in his spare time. The motorcycle is so big, it needs outriggers to make sure it doesn’t tip over.

Schwantz School, the ultimate track experience?

Mon, 22 Aug 2011

If having one-to-one instruction from an ex-MotoGP World Champion is your dream, then why not put the Schwantz School on your Christmas list for 2012. Ok, it’s in America and slightly more expensive than your average track day ($2750 for two days at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway) but many satisfied customers will argue this is the best rider training experience in the world. Your hard earned Dollar will see you alternate between the classroom and track from 8am until 4pm, then Kevin will take you on a track tour where he explains riding techniques and answers questions (he even drives the bus).

WSBK 2013: Assen Race Report

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Tom Sykes earned his first win of the 2013 season and came a hair short of a double victory at the World Superbike Championship round at Assen in the Netherlands. Traditionally a fast starter and qualifier, Sykes started on the pole once again at Assen and had strong starts in both races. But unlike the first two rounds where he started strong before fading, the Kawasaki factory rider was able to remain at the front in both races at Assen and earn some valuable championship points.
