Here's more Suzuki GT50/RG50/ZR50/X1 info.
 |
1980 Suzuki ZR 50 or X-1

Owner: Christiaan Derrick,
Rochford, Essex. UK

Comments : I bought
this bike in 1996 for the sum of 120GBP. It was a 80/81 model
(X-plate reg in UK).

The only modifications I believe were the K&N filter replacing
the airbox and the micron exhaust. I am not sure if the fairing
was original. I ended up removing it and fitting flatter handlebars.

The bike topped out at 45mph.

It was an excellent first bike for me, very easy to ride. The
only things I ever had to do to it was remove the head and decoke
it every 4000 miles or so. The only component which failed was
the little rectifier which meant the battery went too!

Here's more Suzuki GSX550EF info.
 |
1984 Suzuki GSX 550 EF

Owner: Fred, York region
Ontario Canada

Comments : I
got this bike in January 2004. As you can see it has custom paint
(the paint was like this when i got it) and the rims and tires
are off of a 1986 GS 1100. Both tires are wider than OEM and I
had to cut, notch and reweld the rear caliper anchor in order
to accomodate the wider tire.

This bike was an original investment of $20 Canadian dollars (I
bought a '91 GMC Safari Van for $20, put a battery in it, then
traded it for '80 Honda CM400 custom and $250 cash, traded that
for a shifter kart , then traded the kart for $500 and '84 Honda
Odyssey, then the Odyssey for the '84 Suzuki GSX 550 EF) so alltogether
I made $730.00 CAD the time it took to complete all of these trades
and sales took me 7 weeks (from the time I got the van to when
I got the bikes) and also got a great bike (and a parts bike).

I love the ride I get from this bike. I have only test ridden
this bike about 25 km but with all of the bikes I've ridden I
know that I will enjoy this summer on it. Thanks for letting me
share my story with everyone. I have been riding for three years
- rain or shine - and love it.

Here's more Suzuki GSX-R400 info.
 |
1987 Suzuki GSX-R 400

Owner: Thinus
Kruger, Bloemfontein Free State, South Africa

Imported as Grey
Import to South Africa in 1996. Model: GSX-R
(400) Frame: GK71F

Comments : I
am told that the bike is a Yoshimura Special. I bought it second
hand in January 2004. This is my first bike so I am still getting
used to it. My question to anybody out there is if this is a so
called Yoshimura special? What is the possible model? Are the
colors original?

I believe the model
is a 1987 GSX-R400, the first of the models that were actually
called GSX-R400 instead of simply GSX-R, presented in June 1987
in Japan. The paint scheme is not standard but wheather the model
is a Yoshimura Special or not, I don't know. Can anyone of you
readers help?

Here's more Suzuki GS750T info.

1981 Suzuki GS 750 T

Owner: Chuck Gilbert, Brooklyn NY, USA

Comments: Just bought this Suzuki GS750T in November 2003.
Got it in running condition and am planing to restore it to
mint condition. If I can get it close to looking like Mark Crybos'
bike I will be very lucky.

Rides, and sounds great.

Here is the before pic. Hope to have an after pic for you in
the spring of 2004.”

A recent purchase in very tidy condition. Runs well
but requires a good service and repairs to the seat. Due
to be on the road summer 2004.
Joe is a serious collector
of old Suzukis. He tells that he is a sad person
who don't like getting ride of things. He owns now almost
70 Suzukis, , lots of books and manuals and bike magazines
from the 60's and 70's.

comments on pages 11 and 12!

1967 Suzuki M 15

Owner: Owner: Joe W Richardson,
Hull, United Kingdom

Comments:
I
have been busy over the last two years buying nearly everything
I can to enable my collection of twins to be built.

It has been strange in that the more I have bought, the more I
have come across. I have also been able to get bike restoration
projects that nobody else would pay for because I have also got
the parts that other do not have in order to finish them. In fact,
the collection now stands at nearly 70 bikes - though I only intend
to build for myself 54 of them.

Here's the current collection of bikes in a complete condition
(listed by capacity) but as said I actually have over twice this
number but the others are dismantled for easier storage.

I am trying to get one or two of each type on the road. It is
also evident that recent purchases are the older single cylinder
bikes. Previously I only looked at twins.”

1967 Suzuki K 11 T
Owner: Owner: Joe W Richardson,
Hull, United Kingdom

Comments:
Purchased
mid 2003. A very special version of the K11T as it had been upgraded
to full trial specification by a trial bike specialist in 1970.

Modifications carried out were as follows:

Extended
front forks with larger front wheel
Flared
fear body frame with increased width of rear wheel rim
Solid
steel rear footpegs fitted into swinging arm
Modified
exhaust system
Modified
steering to allow the handlebars to turn over 90 degrees each
way
Bodywork
upgrades with single seat and different tank to allow full handlebar
movement.

Due to the uniqueness of this bike with the modification done,
I intend to restore the bike to this specification.
