Sad times have come, and I am finding that I need more storage than my bike currently provides along with changes in work circumstances. Anyhoo:
The bike in question is a Suzuki Goose, a cafe racer style 350cc single with a Scorpion Titanium flame effect muffler fitted. I have had it from 17'000km(bought from a local dealership) and was previously owned by another KB'er. I've had it for nigh on 3 years and had many good times with it. Its never thrown the toys, been well serviced with oil and filter changes every 5000km with top shelf lube. It has Daytona heated grips for those chilly morning starts(it is a naked bike)
The bad news-its has been involved in one major crash where some clown swiped me from behind, but like a true biker I used my collarbone to absorb the shock of dropping it and my right leg to keep it off the floor. It was professionally repaired using genuine Suzuki Parts from Phil Turnbulls and is as good as new- barring the lovely aftermarket Scorpion can(Its amazing how easy that is to live with:)) . Its never been raced and I dont flog it.
All the riding in the last year has been a 50km round trip commute to and from work, so as you can see I am not giving it the love it rightfully deserves. Its a great handler on corners and with 4 pot stoppers on the front, you are never left wanting for stopping power.Its a free revving engine without any nasty surprises thats keen to get stuck in. That said, it is a DR 350 engine so 200km/h wheelies are not going to happen (sorry carver and co). Being a naked, its nice and easy to get at the bits, and keep clean. There is some storage space under the pillion seat- cellphone, wallet and keys would just about fill it though.
Pictures to follow later
What I'd ideally like is to sell the bike all nice and quick, and get a car in a short timeframe- ie a weekend!! - as I cant afford to be without a vehicle during the week. Therefore feel free to contact me via PM and ask any further questions/jack up a testride if you are seriously interested.
