Suzuki Other description

Original unrestored bike right down to the original tires. Possibly 1 of the finest examples you may come across. Tires are not weather checked but are still obviously old rubber. The odometer is actual and is apparent by the overall condition. The exhaust is factory . This bike has been stored since approximately 1991. It had been covered as well as having the fuel drained . Prior to initial start up when brought out of storage included an extensive pre-lube process on the engine. Fuel system was inspected and was actually very nice. Storage preparation was done correctly and was obvious. A new Optima gell battery installed. The only visible flaws are a small hair-line crack on the chain guard just ahead of the rear guard mount and slight fraying to the lower edge of the vin tag decal. No distortion to any of the text. All paint , and finishes, etc are all factory original and spotless. These bikes are rare and finding one that has survived to this extent is seldom. ''

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Heavy rains and a fortuitous red flag were the difference in the World Superbike Championship‘s visit to The Cathedral of motorcycle racing, the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands. Aprilia‘s Sylvain Guintoli captured his second win of the season in Race 1, which was halted early by a red flag with five laps to go just as it looked like reigning WSBK champion Tom Sykes was gearing up for a final challenge. The second race was also shortened, not by a red flag but because of a rain, turning the 21-lap race into a 10-lap sprint.
