Suzuki GS description

This is a 1981 Suzuki GS 1100 E "Superbike" that is street legal. Owned and built by the original owner who was an aerospace engineer and 30 year respected racer. Only the best components of the day were used in the build. The bike sat for many years until recently. It was given a fresh battery, the 33 mm Mikuni Smoothbore carburetors were disassembled and sonically cleaned before being reinstalled. New Dunlops were mounted and Fresh oil and filter were added as well as new fork seals and fork oil.  The gas tank (clean /no rust) was drained and fresh fuel was added. The bike fired up instantly and ran as new. The bike pulls as hard as any modern liter bike with stump pulling power. Amazing. If you have ever wondered what it would be like to own an early 1980's, fire breathing superbike, this is it.  It's the real deal, ready to be ridden through your favorite canyons, ridden to a bike night or to compete in a vintage superbike race.

Here are some of the components: Earls oil cooler, custom rear sets, vented ignition cover, 13" Mark Zero front discs,"Lockheed" front calipers, 18" EPM Magnesium wheels, Full stainless Supertrapp exhaust, hand fabricated rear licence plate bracket, Stewart Warner oil temp and pressure gauges. Huge front fork brace, steel braided lines, aircraft fasteners throughout, Gerix multi fire ignition, Accel coil, Fox Superbike shocks, Cal -Fab aluminum swingarm, superbike bars drilled rear disc and relocated caliper. Original seat and paint and the list goes on.

All the recent work was performed by Curt Jordan (Jordan Engineering) and Chris Redpath (Moto GP Werks). Both, professional old school superbike gurus. 

A $1000.00 non-refundable deposit is due at the end of the auction (Pay Pal is fine). Cash or wire deposit for the balance within five days.  Shipping and all cost will be the responsibility of the buyer and I will make myself available for the convenience of the shipper.  This motorcycle is for sale only to buyers within the U.S. 

This bike is a real piece of history that tells you a story when you look at it and when you ride it, it makes sure you were listening. This motorcycle is absolutely not for an inexperienced or new rider but if you want something unbelievably unique that stands out from the crowd and will put a huge smile on your face, this is it.  Good luck !

Isle of Man TT 2013: Dainese Superbike Race Results

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

It was delayed by a day but the Isle of Man TT’s Dainese Superbike race finally went underway Sunday. Originally scheduled to open the 2013 Isle of Man TT, the race was pushed back a day because poor weather earlier in the week prevented proper practice and qualifying. Even then, the Superbike race was delayed 45 minutes from its rescheduled start time due to a traffic accident.

Tue, 20 Mar 2012

The 2012 Daytona 200 delivered another fairy-tale finish with underdog privateer Joey Pascarella and the Project 1 Atlanta team fending off a pack of three other racers to win by a slim 0.048 second margin. Competing in just his first Daytona 200, 19-year-old Pascarella from Victorville, Calif., held the lead for 41 out of 57 laps to finish first ahead of a last year’s winner Jason DiSalvo while Cameron Beaubier squeezed by 2010 Daytona Sportbike Champion Martin Cardenas in a photo-finish to take third. For the Project 1 Atlanta team, the win marked a dramatic turnaround from a let down in 2011.

New ÖHLINS products for GSX-R600 & GSX-R750

Fri, 25 Mar 2011

ÖHLINS Racing has completed final testing and is now ready to launch a complete range of suspension upgrade kits for the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 and GSX-R750 The GSX-R600 comes equipped with Big Piston Forks (BPF) as standard but Öhlins recommends fitting its NIX30 fork kit or pressurised system.  Aside from the perfermance improvements, these systems are much quicker and more simple to adjust with compression damping on the left fork leg and rebound on the right. The Öhlins TTX36 rear shock is the perfect accompaniment for the GSX-R600 and 750 and uses MotoGP developed Twin Tube technology, improving feedback by utilising positive pressure on both the compression and rebound stroke of the shock. The forks and shock can be interchanged between the 2011 GSX-R 600 & 750.
