    Very good. I didn't think the three spoke started till 89 (or was that when they went to 17" ?)

    sound just like me when i had 13 bikes , you always find a excuse to buy another.
    good buying , I'm not sure why he had it for sale for so long. He bought my custom Kat when you bought the other,

    Some like there's factory fresh looking, some with subtle mods , some the full mods. Me I like and love them all. My fave GSXR is the 750le you know the limited production with the dry clutch, remote ressi shock, 310mm disc's , single seat ,1100 fairing etc have ridden one what a machine along with a RG500 the best Suzuki made.

    Been a while... but I have a few pictures.

    Me I like old bikes.. ok lets not be stupid they have to be ridable, have some grunt and look cool. And unfortunitly some of that old shit... 50,60's etc is just too old for my liking.

    I like them modified so they are usable... collecters have originals that are not riden... borring.

    no one noticed the swingarm... disapointed.

    They pop up in the bike auctions in Japan best to talk to Spectrum , the amounts of bikes is a sight to see most are low mileage even a few race bikes. Lots of NSR, TZR, RGV, RS etc for the 2 stroke lover, the Rothman's NSR's go for crazy money.

    Don't they just... I just finished reading about a VJ23 Lucky Strike that's lived in four countries (so far). Fuck R model Ducatis, these are proper rare bikes.

    For sure some even go over $10g NZ ,crazy for a 20 yr old bike, if you can find a NSR sp the ultimate 250 and most come with top spec pipes etc.
    It seems Honda's are way more than a Suzi/Kawa/Yam. For the Harley rider there's plenty of choice to.
