    Suzukis

    I am a bit drunk, but i will say this

    I am impressed by the engines suzuki makes.

    I have had a fair few suzuki's, and they have all been pretty reliable, my GSXR 1000 had 60km on it and i raped it alot and it always went well.
    finish and electrics have always been a bit of a weak point, but overall my GSXR's, DRZ's, DR's, UZ's, GN's, GS's, and of course the TF 125 RR have been a great source of fun and just so thrashable and tough...
    aint snapped a frame yet BTW!

    Only 8pm and you're drunk already Craver?

    I threw my gixxer down the road the other day and it still goes. It's a bit broken though...

    I have had a bunch (and still do) TS and TF 2-strokers. Never had one die on me.

    Picked one up that had been lying outside for a few years. Was rusty and shit. Emptied tank, carby, and motor. Filled with new stuff, pulled behind the car for approx 2 k's. She started to give some signs of life. After some more pulling she was running. We used her for 6 months on the beach and she was fun and fast. never opened the carbi or the motor...

    Add to that the NZ250's we had. Apart from an issue with the CDI's they run like stolen!

    Here Suzuki I would not mind...: http://www.trademe.co.nz/link.aspx?i...&s=362372&c=57

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    If Carver is still drinking right now, I think another bridge stunt is in order.

    Metal qualities, tooling and engineering tolerances these days means there is no excuse for a dodgy motor.

    The only complaints I've read about with the SV motors are a tendancy for the camchains to sound a bit rattly as the chain stretches and / or tensioner doesn't do its job.

    They are the best bike as far as I'm concerned - even have a tattoo to prove it! - So I'll never change brands. Stick to what you know and reliability counts for everything

    My RMZ ran for 5-10 mins with little or no water - radiator joint burst during an enduro race, and I still haven't had any problems yet
    The FXR got the bare minimum of maintainence and delivered when it was used every week day and most weekends for the 19 months I had it.
    Haven't had the GSXR long enough to say.

    FTR Have also had 2 Kawis, 2 hondas and a yammy in years gone by
