Suzuki Other description

  This is a beautiful example of a 1972 Suzuki T500J.I found this bike on ebay in January ,at the " Hornung Cycle and Power Sports" in Hubbard ,Iowa.  When picking up the bike,the owner of the business advised me that he had sold this bike brand neww to the guy I was getting it from. The frame number is #T500-56423 and the engine number is also T500-56423. This is a complete ground-up restoration that was just completed is restored inside and out,and runs great. I have a long list of items that were replaced with NOS original equipment parts. The chrome was also cleaned and the rear fender/mufflers/pipes were rechromed.The brakes,fork,seals,tires,tubes,battery,chain,sprockets,left hand switch,and headlight were replaced. The motor was taken completely apart by my local Suzuki dealer and gone through. New pistons,rings,crank seals, shifter shaft,carb intake boots,carbs rebuilt and tuned. The tank and side covers were professionally painted by "Steve Rhoades Painting"and the frame and parts were powder coated by "Trail Performance in Omaha,NE.The list goes on and will be included with the bike. This bike also has the tool kit and owners manual. I have a lot of time and cash invested in this,but have set my reserve at how much cash I actually have in it. I do a couple of bikes per year to occupy my time, now that Im retired. I have won numerous bike shows over the last few years with them. Please feel free to call me with questions at (402)990-2542 or email me. (*Also- I am currently doing a '72 Suzuki TS400 Apache and am looking for a exhaust tip (stinger) for it.See other items.)  Veicle is sold "As-Is" and the buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements and costs. I will help on this end as much as possible,but I cannot crate the bike. Thanks. Relisting because of buyer changing his mind.

2012 Suzuki Boulevard C50T Classic Announced

Tue, 25 Oct 2011

During Suzuki’s annual dealer meeting the company reported that cruiser sales at large are down 6.2% YTD. However, Suzuki says its cruiser sales are up 12.5%, and in an effort to keep riding this wave that’s handily outpacing the rest of the cruiser market, the company announced the addition of the Boulevard C50T Classic. While the Classic is a carbon copy of the C50T, it does away with the C50T’s standard windshield, passenger backrest and saddlebags.

Why I love BSB's Showdown

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

It has lovers, haters and even many that still don't understand it but everyone in British bike racing is currently talking about the BSB Showdown.  With my rider's or team manager's hat on, I wasn't convinced when it was first announced in 2010 but I'm now totally converted and enjoy every part of the season as intensity increases.  And being a value for money Scot the best thing is you get four championships under one umbrella.  Championship # 1; In the early rounds everyone on the grid has aspirations of taking the title but as the season progresses, the focus narrows down to making sure you secure that top six showdown spot over the first nineteen races (riders can also drop their worst two results).  Championship #2; For the confident front runners, over these races, the real goal is the podium credit championship (3 for 1st ,2 for 2nd,1 for 3rd) which then gives them a points head start after things are put back to zero for the final seven race shoot-out.  Championship #3; The best of the rest championship (7th and below) that will be battled over the final races. Championship # 4;  Over the final seven races the British Superbike Champion is crowned. The recent adding and reshuffling a few top name riders for the Showdown has already spiced things up so hold on tight for the remaining five races!
