Suzuki Other description

1983 Suzuki XN85 Turbo
Number 102 out of 1,153 ever built.
300 of them came to the US, out of those only 150 of them were sold, and the rest were sent back to Japan. So there are less than 150 of them left in the states.

This is a one owner 100% original bike. It still has the Original title, Registration papers, and License Plate from 1983-84!

Bike recently went through a full service and tuneup to get back on the road. 
Here is a list of some of the things that were done:
Drill Screw M/C Bleed Flush System
Repair Stuck Throttle Body
Oil & Filter Change
Flush Fuel Injection System
Remove/Replace Injectors/Manifold
Research Pump/Filter Retrofit
Aftermarket Pump/Filter
Clean Tank
Clean Repair Petcock/Fix Leak
Dissasemble Injectors Machine Clean
Locate No Start Trace No Ignition

New Battery
New Oil Filter
Master Cylinder Screws
10/40 Oil Semi Synthetic
Reostat Fuel Gauge
New Fuel Pump
New High Pressure Filter
Low Pressure Fuel Hose 2ft
High Pressure Fuel Hose 2ft

Might be some more that I forgot to list. Bike runs and rides great, and the motor is extremely strong, and does not smoke at all. There is a slight hesitation is you crack the throttle, but if you are smooth it revs very nicely. I couldn't ride it as fast as I wanted on the old tires though, and I didnt want to push too hard on a motor thats been sitting for over 30 years. Everything on the bike works as it should except for a couple things on the dash. The fuel gauge doesnt move, but can be adjusted to read whatever you like. Also the engine temperature gauge doesnt seem to move.

The cosmetics on the bike are 9.5+ out of 10 in my opinion, but you can see for yourself in the photos. NONE of the photos are edited or enhanced in anyway! Seat is in excellent shape with zero tears or rips. There are some VERY light scratches and tiny paint chips on the bike, that I tried to show in the photos, they aren't noticeable unless you are looking for them. Bike comes with the Original tool kit in its original bag, however the little metal button on the bag is missing. The only eyesore on the bike IMO is the plastic on the mirrors.

The bike is a time capsule, and if you need anymore photos of the bike just ask. It wont let me upload more than 24 of them. You can also text/call or message me on here if you have any other questions.

Here is your chance to own the RAREST of the Japanese Turbos that "Motorcyclist" magazine proclaimed the best handling bike they had tested to date.

Bike is sold AS-IS with no warranty or claims of any kind. This is a 30+ year old motorcycle, and you are responsible for having the bike inspected before purchase and or riding the bike. I require a $500 deposit within 24 hours of auction ending. Buyer is responsible for all shipping fee's, I will do my best to assist any way I can.

Here is a walk around video of the bike.

Mobility Scooter with Suzuki Katana Engine Schools Nissan Skyline in Drag Race – Video

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

A little while ago, Honda revealed a 130mph tractor lawn mower with an engine from a Superhawk. Along a similar vein is the Isle of Man’s Garage Insanity with a mobility scooter equipped with a 600cc inline-four engine from a Suzuki Katana. According to Garage Insanity, the mobility scooter has a theoretical top speed of 140mph given enough running room, though in practice, it’s only been timed at 102.2 mph over a quarter-mile.

Another Cruiser?

Sun, 09 Nov 2008

In a county gone mad with cruisers, from outrageous T.V. customs to 250cc Honda Rebels, the cruiser is the largest segment of the American motorcycle market. Interesting then, that despite a seeming glut in the cruiser supply, and receding sales figures from major OEMs in the past year, that new cruiser models keep coming.

2012 GSX-R1000 arrives at Visordown HQ

Wed, 23 May 2012

You've probably seen the video of Simon Crafar smoking up the 2012 GSX-R1000 at Almeria. Impressive stuff. Suzuki are (correct me if I'm wrong) the last manufacturer of an inline four superbike not to offer it with some sort of electronic rider aids.
