    One for the classic racers

    Who woulda thunk an XS1100 could look this sexy?

    The Rodney Gray bike is one I've always liked, I'd like to see someone build a replica of it and show the Suzukis the way home

    Something a little strange there - if it was only actively raced around '82 what are the flatslides doing on it ? All the info I have suggests the earliest sets were available 83 - 84.

    Superb restoration - and it's great it's being used rather than just sitting.

    Strangely enough I've used the same race number as that bike since I started racing

    Might be a bit of work to do the monoshock conversion and I'd really rather have a Rob North BMW

    You need to brush up on your comprehension skills ya munter, I've used #83 since I started racing and that bike is a monoshock

    Im sure it would be easier to build a replica of the orange one out of that pile of scrap i sold you, than the one in your picture.
