Suzuki Other description

For your consideration, a beautiful low-mileage, completely unrestored GT380 in fine running condition, ready to ride or show. Originally purchased in Lowell, MA, this motorcycle was kept by the original owner for 26 years. During this time he covered just 996 miles before giving it to his grand-daughter in 2002. She covered a further 219 miles over the following 8 years before I bought it in 2010. I have added almost 300 miles to the total, which currently stands at 1,509 miles.

The bike is amazingly original throughout; the vast majority of bolts and fittings have never been touched since the bike was first assembled. New tires and tubes have been fitted, along with a quality Yuasa battery. The carbs were removed, professionally cleaned and rebuilt with original parts (jets, floats, gaskets, o-rings etc) sourced from Japan. At the same time I fitted a Pingle petock and in-line filter, but the original vacuum petcock is included in the sale. Everything else is absolutely as Suzuki intended, including the correct mirrors (with the embossed 'S' logo), all the original warning decals, grips, footrest rubbers and chain.

The paintwork is virtually unmarked, except for a couple of small chips on the front seam of the tank, caused when removing the tank from the frame. The seat cover has no marks, rips or loose seams and is nice and supple. All the electrics work correctly, including the lights, horn, turn signals, brake lights and digital gear indicator. The suspension and brakes are perfect and the whole bike has a nice, tight 'new bike' feel. A few of the cadmium-plated fittings, such as the handlebar switch bolts and two of the turn signal bolts have some light corrosion, nothing too serious and likely to improve with polishing.

The motor runs very smoothly, starting from cold with one or two kicks. It pulls well, with no vibration and very little smoke due to Suzuki's crankcase recirculating system for excess two-storke oil. The motor was originally a silver lacquer, but most of this has been polished off over the years. , The bare alloy surface has not been re-polished, which is something the new owner may wish to do. The ram-air cooling shield also has some peeling lacquer, due to water getting under the finish and causing it to discolor and peel.

The exhaust system is in great condition; no dents or scratches and the chrome polishes up very well. The top surface of the lower right-hand muffler has some slight pitting; hard to see and even harder to photograph. The headers are in exceptional condition; the cylinder-head mounting clamps have some light corrosion.

The wheels are true and have exceptionally good chrome. The front disc brake looks almost like new, but the fork legs also suffer from discoloration of the lacquer and the front fender has some pitting to the chrome finish. It's hard to show in the photographs, but you will probably want to improve this part. The rest of the chrome is good, except for a few spots on the back of the headlight bucket. Again, hard to see and only visible if you look really closely.

The bike will be sold with a clear, open Massachusetts Title and a Bill of Sale. I can deliver the bike free of charge (in my enclosed trailer) to the Barber Vintage Weekend in October, provided I receive 100% payment within 5 days of the auction end. I can also store the bike for approximately 30 days if you wish to arrange your own transport, but please give me reasonable notice prior to collection (i.e. 3-4 days) as I will need to arrange my work schedule to accommodate your shipper.

Please ask questions or ask for additional photographs if you want to see any specific detail more clearly.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011

Suzuki has released a another teaser for its upcoming “Middle-class New Motorcycle”. We wrote about the previous teaser last week, speculating the new motorcycle is an updated Suzuki V-Strom, possibly a V-Strom 650 with a retuned version of the Gladius’ engine. A commenter named Steven suggested it might be a V-Strom 1000 instead.
