1977 Suzuki Gt 750, 1977 Suzuki GT750B (Le Mans) Motorcycle. (aka Water Buffalo) 3 Cylinder, 2 Stroke, Oil Injected, Water Cooled. Includes: Windjammer IV Fairing w/+5 Windshield w/2 Vents & Vetter Sound w/AM/FM/Cassette. Highway Bar w/Foot Pegs. Adjustable Back Rest w/Rack. 26,000 miles. $3,500 CASH 402-461-6643. I am the second owner and have had possession since 1981. The original owner put 10,000 Interstate miles on it in four years. I have put 16,000 miles on it in town and on the highway in 32 years. Every year I ride it less and less, but it gets out on the road at least once every spring & summer. It has been garaged since the day I purchased it. There is a little wobble in the handle bars at highway speed. The tires are not original the rear tire is in need of replacement. The gas tank paint is in good shape, no rust on the inside. The left side panel (covering the electrical) needs repainted. The seat is in pretty good shape considering the age. There is a 1.50 tear at the seam on the right front that has been there for years. The rear fender has some dings and some chrome has peeled off, the front fender is tweaked and has two dings in it. The exhaust is solid, but not perfect. A mechanic (who was looking for an excuse not to work on this old bike) told me (10 years ago) the rear sprocket needs replaced, I have been riding it ever since. There is an oil leak on the right side of the engine above the Kick Start Input Shaft. The clutch sticks on cold mornings after not being ridden for a while. All lights and gauges work. The Vetter Sound Speakers were replaced in the past 5 years. New battery installed in July 12. Original Headlight & Bezel, Front Turn Signals, Suzuki Owners Manual, Tool Kit and tool bag included. Currently licensed and Clear Title is in my possession. This would be a great bike for someone looking to restore it and flip it, or to keep it for themselves. Not much work needs to be done to return the bike to its former glory. Available for inspection & pick-up in Hastings, NE USA $3,500.00 4024616643

2013 AMA Supercross Minneapolis Race Report

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Hometown hero Ryan Dungey put a stop to Ryan Villopoto‘s winning streak, taking the victory before 48,846 supportive fans at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn. The Red Bull KTM rider from nearby Belle Plaine, Minn., stalked Monster Energy Kawasaki‘s Villopoto for most of the race before taking the lead and winning the 20-lap race by just 0.903 seconds. The win put Dungey into second place in the standings ahead of Rockstar Suzuki‘s Davi Millsaps and perhaps more importantly, cut away at Villopoto’s points lead.

Team Hammer Releases Martin Cardenas

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

AMA Pro Racing’s Team Hammer has released Martin Cardenas from his contract to allow the reigning AMA Daytona Sportbike Champion “to better pursue his goal of returning to World Championship competition as soon as possible.” Though the eventual goal appears to be for Cardenas to move up to the World Superbike Championship, rumors have Cardenas landing with the Yoshimura Suzuki factory team to race in the AMA Superbike Championship in 2013 as an eventual stepping stone towards international racing. Cardenas won the 2010 and 2012 AMA Daytona Sportbike championships with Team Hammer riding a Suzuki GSX-R600. Team Hammer held a contract option for Cardenas for the 2013 season but decided to release the Colombian racer, allowing him to take a different route towards a WSBK career.

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show.  On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca.  With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem.  When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season.  We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!
