Suzuki Other description
This is a 1976 Suzuki GT550 INDY 2-stroke, triple cylinder bike. I have a clear title. I purchased this bike with intentions of restoring it, but a serious injury and medical bills have altered my plans. I bought this bike from a very trustworthy individual who purchased it used and left it sitting in his garage for about 7 years. Like me, he did not have the means to restore it. The bike needs work and/or should be inspected in all of the areas one would expect after sitting so long such as: carbs, petcock, fluids, filters, brakes, battery, tires, cables, etc. I have not attempted to start the bike as I do not have a battery, and I'm sure the carbs need cleaning. What I do know is that I ran a compression check using the kick starter and all three cylinders show 140+ PSI. Bike shifts through all gears just fine. As expected, the bike has some minor pitting here-and-there, but overall it's in pretty nice shape for a 37 year old bike. Gas tank has some paint chips, but no dents. Inside of tank looks pretty good, but I would recommend flushing. There is no serious rust inside tank that I can see. Seat needs a new cover. Nice seat cover replicas out of GRB on ebay very reasonably priced. Bike is all original best I can tell except for the horn and a few touch-up spots painted on frame. No frame damage. It even has the original Suzuki "S" mirrors. Guages are very clear, the photo shows a reflection.
This bike is simply too complete to part-out. However, this bike wiil require some mechanical work. I have disclosed everything I know about this bike. It would make a great restoration project, or just do the required mechanical work and ride it as it looks. The is no reserve on this bike. Local pickup only. Buyer responsible for shipping fees. A $200.00 deposit through Paypal due within 24 hours of purchase. Remaining balance must be paid directly to seller within 7 days of purchase. Be safe, and good luck bidding!

New ÖHLINS products for GSX-R600 & GSX-R750
Fri, 25 Mar 2011ÖHLINS Racing has completed final testing and is now ready to launch a complete range of suspension upgrade kits for the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 and GSX-R750 The GSX-R600 comes equipped with Big Piston Forks (BPF) as standard but Öhlins recommends fitting its NIX30 fork kit or pressurised system. Aside from the perfermance improvements, these systems are much quicker and more simple to adjust with compression damping on the left fork leg and rebound on the right. The Öhlins TTX36 rear shock is the perfect accompaniment for the GSX-R600 and 750 and uses MotoGP developed Twin Tube technology, improving feedback by utilising positive pressure on both the compression and rebound stroke of the shock. The forks and shock can be interchanged between the 2011 GSX-R 600 & 750.
Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box
Mon, 10 Dec 2012A 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!
Hopper,Cogger and Rossigate
Tue, 05 Apr 2011Rizla Suzuki welcomed back John Hopkins to Jerez and by the end of day one the American was posting some very respectable lap times. To me it seems like yesterday, but it was way back in 2007 when he last rode for the British based team ending the season 4th in the World Championship. The dry qualifying went well but he wasn’t too upset when it rained on race day as he admitted to not being bike fit and would have struggled to maintain a fast dry race pace.
