$5500 ono, Classic ADV Bike .
DR750BIG in very good condition, motor excellent condition.
previous owners looked after her and only used her on the road.
carb recond just before my ownership 4000klms ago, has o-ring chain(3000klm), excellent runner motor is faultless.
couple of small minor scuffing on tank from dropping bike(once in 1st gear doing a u-turn and once in my drive with motor off and once on the sand)
This is the very first production model derived from the suzuki Dakar race bike.
Big single, big torque, awesome power and a joy to ride weather it be off the seal or on. 29ltr tank gives you a shit load of klms.
Bike is stock standard, no mods have been made to the motor,carbs airbox etc. the onlything non DR is the rear wheel which is of an XR, but have picked up an original wheel which just needs respoking.
currently running dual purpose tyres for ADV riding.
this is a Fab bike and this will be a reluctant sale.
am open to offers.
photos up soon

Hey, can you fit full trail tyres to this? What are your options? Wheel sizes?
The front guard has enough room for a trail tyre?
Nice looking beast, really....Orange makes it even better...:Oops:

17 rear 21 front, will take E09s M21s etc, not sure about the bigger nobs, some guys like Nave on ADV put i think KLX front ends on and mod the bike to BIIIIIG bore offroad.

I seen the early rides....That is what attracts me to the DR's the At's and the Teneres...
those were the days too before GPS, and the Dakar was REALLY frikkin dangerous....NOW, it is dangerous.....The speeds those bikes were and are capable of on sand, I wouldn't do on tar seal....:gob:
I have watched PeterHansel and others and it is staggering!
Can you imagine doing that ride on your beast? Hard enough going to the dairy sometimes...:eek5:
It gives you a newly found respect for what the beast can unleash Dino...

[dino3310]

yeah mate i agree, i think thats what attracks most people to the early BIGs

[dino3310]

true mate i forgot about that first one,
trouble is cause its a rare-ish bike its hard to compare market prices, so ive lowered price to 5.5k and thats as low as im prepared to go, if it dont sell for that then bugga i'l have to keep riding her.

[dino3310]

dropped price to 5.5k, who wants it

[dino3310]

20mins to go:wait:

[thepom]

As an owner of an africa twin I admire the top condition its in and is truly worth more than 5.5....good luck

[JATZ]

Thought I'd add my 2c......

From lookin at the pics, if I had the cash and shed space I would be grabbing this one, but I would say that, I already own one !
Great machine's for dual sport riding, good fuel range,comfortable and a really useable spread of power.
Most parts are easy to get from suzuki N.Z. and there's plenty of spares available in Europe where they have a good following, also a lot of information available on the net.
If you want a dual purpose bike that gets noticed wherever you go this is one that should be seriously considered !
To those who say it's overpriced for a 21 yr old bike :bleh: it's worth it ! ride one and see.

Went for a song. Should'a put the price up.


:laugh:

[dino3310]

rub it in why dont ya :laugh:,
yeah i know i could have got a lot more(she's worth more) if i had held out for a bit longer, but if i could have held out for longer then that would mean i wasnt in urgent need of $$$$, which would mean i wouldnt have sold her cause i didnt need those $$$$:blink: i'l get over it and get on with it :ride::Punk:
