Hmm wonder if it is my old one. Common with the pics already

They are a reasonable bike to learn a few gravel skills on. Good range with the 17l tank.

How much? putting knobblies on?

We once stuck a knobbly and some DR shocks on the back of my Yammy V90 step through and took it out Wakapuaka and blatted around the little MX track out there until it died

A barrage balloon? A dirigible is what you're thinking of. Not made by Suzuki but like a lot of Suzuki riders they can be full of hot air!

What I do find with all those china bike bashers, is that they are quick to say how crap they are but never give details... Never any fact. How's a news flash, have any of you tried checking on the stats for motorcycle factory recalls?

Heres one website as an example:
http://www.webbikeworld.com/BMW-moto...50r-recall.htm

Remeber those days when people spoke of "JAP CRAP"

Just a little food for thought!

wow, a cable tie in the wrong place.....
