I think everyone probably knows by now I’m a Suzuki fan. And I’m a sucker for anything that has special fairings and graphics. Up for grabs here is a 2002 Suzuki Telefonica MoviStar Limited Edition. With special livery (that term cracks me up) that’s a replica of the RGV-500 Kenny Roberts won a title on, this bike doesn’t look like your run-of-the-mill 2002 GSX-R 600. However, outside of the graphics the bike underneath is your standard 2002 GSX-R 600 (not that that’s a bad thing).
From the seller-
Up for Sale is my 2002 Suzuki GSXR 600 Telefonica MoviStar Edition. This version of the Telefonica was only made in 2002 and a limited number were made. This bike is pretty rare and also is highly sought by motorcycle enthusiasts.
I have been the proud owner of this bike for the last 3 years and I am sad that I have to sell it. I haven’t had much time to ride it the last two years and I am preparing for another move so unfortunately it is time to sell.
The bike has a NY title (if that matters to anyone) and will come with a lien release.
Since the bike has not been out much the last couple of seasons, I recommend that the following be performed after purchase:
1. Oil Change (has been sitting without much use)
2. Brake inspection (may need new pads, I had it out today and the brakes seemed thin).
As far as condition, this bike is in pretty good shape. There are a few nicks and scratches in the paint but this is to be expected with normal wear (I have included photos). There is one spot that is pretty noticeable and that is on the muffler. This occurred during transport and not the result of a crash or lay down.
Now with all that being said, I want to mention that this bike has never been crashed, or dropped. I have taken pretty good care of it over the years and I would like to see it go to a good home.
Please let me know if you should have any questions and good luck bidding on this beauty!
**PLEASE NOTE, this Bike is also available locally for sale, so I reserve the right to cancel this listing at anytime prior to auction end date. **
Here’s some more pics-
Considering the mileage, this bike looks well cared for and the seller highlights some of the cosmetic blemishes (in photos) from the wear and tear of owning the bike. The seller also highlights some immediate maintenance that should be addressed if you purchase the bike.
There’s no reserve on this auction so it will be interesting to see where it goes. Another bike similar to this was up for $4,000 and sold, although I don’t know for exactly how much. I would guess this bike would go somewhere near that.
While this model doesn’t come with any performance goodies to go with the good looks, it’s a great bike that will perform well from the factory. Seems like a good opportunity to own something special without breaking the bank. You agree? Okay then, check out the auction!

I remember walking in to the dealership in 02 and seeing a Telefonica edition in the show room and instantly fell in love; they still look great (if you can find one in good condition).
Looks like the owner is not a fan of chain maintenance.
