    Mystery Suzuki ??!!

    Just perusing Suzukicycles.org and found this machine.

    It's called a Suzuki Shark. Looks like a cross between a 750ESD and a pop-up Kat.
    Interesting looking bike, I see a little of that concept Stratosphere from this model too.

    Anyone seen this before ?

    Nope, never seen one. Pretty cool looking bike though, possibly a Japan only model.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I think Hans was referring to the engine looking like an early model Gixxer 750 engine.

    It does look kinda funky, just needs a 6 cylinder engine and some wider rims...

    C'mon you know you want to say it. It's pretty bloody obvious even a myopic person, ie me, can see it.

    check out the gap between the front tyre and the guard, and the light below the pop-up

    Possibly or an option for 18 or 19" front wheels. 16" front wheels (puke) were "in vogue" at the time.

    Think it's more the curvature of the guard the tyre is a M33 lazer, they've got a fairly large profile. The gap doesn't look big enough to accommodate a 18-19in wheel.

    definately a parts bin special based around the ESD & the indicators just look awful , why they didn't use the integrated SE Katana ones
