Suzuki Other description



THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION


This bike was built by the seller over the winter of 2011-2012. Since then it has been ridden 1100 trouble-free miles to vintage meets and on back roads for fun. This is a loud, fast, lightweight, great handling enthusiast's motorcycle that WILL DRAW ATTENTION wherever you take it. The paint job glows. It comes on the pipe at 5500-6000 RPM and pulls hard up to redline. It will blow through 100MPH briskly. It is happiest cruising in top gear at 70-80 MPH. The spacing between 4th and 5th gear is close, making it easy to keep the engine in its powerband at fast highway speeds. Only Klotz 2-Stroke oil has been used. This bike starts first kick every time. I performed a mild cafe treatment with the drag bars and stock footpeg location in lieu of more radical clip-ons and rearsets in the interest of rider comfort. The seat and riding position are actually quite comfortable for a 100 mile ride.

The paint color actually is a little more bronze and less red than it appears in the digital pictures.

This bike features the following enhancements:

Barnett Clutch ( The stock clutch couldn't handle the current power level )
Jemco Pipes by Jon Easton of  Houston, Texas
GS450 Tank
GS550 Front End ( fit with no modifications )
GS450 Master Cylinder
NOS Suzuki .5mm Oversize Pistons and Rings
Michelin Pilot II Tires
New Rear Brake Shoes
Drag Bars
GS450 Clutch Lever
New Speedometer Cable
New Tach Cable
Sikkens Urethane Paint
EMGO Headlight and Bracket
New Showa Rear Shocks
Lightened Front Brake Disk
Gel Battery
Hotwing Glass Racing Seat
New Gold O-Ring Chain
New Front and Rear Sprockets-15/33
Many Custom Hand-Made Parts

Engine Porting Specs:
Exhaust port widened by 10mm total
Raised the exhaust port 3mm, from 40mm to 37mm
Left the transfer port alone
Lowered the inlet port from 105mm to 108mm
Inlet port by widened by 15mm total
These are mild racing port mods and the bike is totally streetable but likes to be kept on the pipe.

There are 14,359 miles on the odometer today. I may continue to ride it some so mileage could increase slightly.


BUYER MUST ARRANGE SHIPPING OR PICK UP-WE WILL ASSIST WITH LOADING.

WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE A PERSONAL VISIT TO INSPECT THE BIKE. I WILL PROVIDE A DEMO RIDE IF DESIRED.

2012 GSX-R1000 arrives at Visordown HQ

Wed, 23 May 2012

You've probably seen the video of Simon Crafar smoking up the 2012 GSX-R1000 at Almeria. Impressive stuff. Suzuki are (correct me if I'm wrong) the last manufacturer of an inline four superbike not to offer it with some sort of electronic rider aids.
