Good morning folks, and what is an especially chilly morning here.

Wondering what your thoughts and opinions on the above bike would be, as well as what sort of price one would expect to pay?

They're a hoot. PM Storm and Beemer. They're both ex-owners.

Thanks young man.

Got to test ride it today. Apart from a choke that doesn't work, she was in perfect condition!!!

What does a non working choke indicate dollar wise I suppose should be my next question.

Can't answer what you want to know, but by all accounts they are are fabuous wee fun bike! Not too comfortable but handle fantastically and hate petrol so much you'll hardly ever fill it up!

That'll just be a broken cable or maybe a detached cable end or maybe simply a really badly adjusted cable. Real Suzuki part will be 1 million dollars.

Make your own.

What he said. I had one as a loaner once, so naturally everyone at my work took it for a blat and they all came back with big stupid grins on their faces :yes:

Very fun bike to ride, a little down on power, but they handle so good and look grouse. When you pulled the choke lever, was it far too easy to pull, as in there's little or no resistance? Or was there too much?

Thanks everybody for your answers.

I pick her up on Saturday after I head to Palmy to drop off my old one.

Is it the one for sale in Eketahuna/Pahiatua? Looks like a minter. :yes:

Not that one. This one is over in Hastings. Am dropping the FXR150 off to Palmy and on the way back will pick up the SG

Enjoy it! They're fun in the twisties (Not very fast in a straight line, many 250's will see one off) and damn they look cool

great bikes. But really need a turbo, and longer gears on them.
I ran out of speed and power too much.

Last time I had too much speed and ran out of road, think I would rather run out of power and speed in retrospect

Choke wouldn't move.

Trust me you say that now.......but once you have had it a month you will see exactly what I mean.
You will run out of both very quickly. The next thing to run out will be your patience.
