My first road bike was a GSX400: basically the same as your GS450 except slightly smaller capacity and mine had 4 valves per cylinder, rather than the GS' 2. didnt make any difference to the performance (or lack of): Oh, and either of the suzukis would completely spank the Honda CB400N which was a porky POS by comparison.

Presumably your dog thought there were Tux biscuits over there?

yes REV (the dog) likes to help. some times you need to bring out the big guns, if gentle doesnt work then use what ever you can to get the job done.

What you girls are produing is a purpose-built-low-budget-resurrection-using-a-wreck. But nothing wrong with that! Just need to get the classification right!

Gotta agree with you here.

Although I dont even think its a purpose-built-low-budget-resurrection-using-a-wreck, because it wasn't a wreck...it was a MINTA with carb issues. Sacrilege!

Lula, you already have the perfect hill climb bike. KDX200 is purpose built for this kind of thing.

Anyway, Im looking foward to seeing you two entertaining all the boys with your hill climb.
