If you believe that a motorcycle should be a reflection of you, why not throw down on a motorcycle that can actually provide a reflection of you? Check out this very sano 1971 Suzuki GP bike. With old-school cool oozing out of every nook and cranny, the silver and polished scheme gives it a very retro-modern look. With hand-formed aluminum bodywork and frame by legendary Colin Seeley, you can think of this bike as a two stroke T-1000.

normally I not much of a fan of older bikes or bikes that aren’t road legal, but boy this one….
For 20K I rather have a TZ750 or RG500, but a cool bike!
You won’t get a TZ 750 for 20000 bucks.
Love the catch can. Anyone know what that’s from?
Shame: if the frame is indeed genuine (and it looks like since CS number stamped on the steering head), the tank and the seat are not Seeley. However good racing bike which in my view should not exceed the 20k.
Shame? You really don’t know what you’re talking about. The seller explicitly states that the bodywork is handmade Evan Wilcox peices! Google his name and be informed- this man is widely considered the master motorcycle alloy bodywork craftsman. I’ve seen his work in person- this bodywork is absolutely appropriate to the top shelf quality of the rest of components and craftsmanship of this wonderful creation.
I already bought a TZ750 before for less than $20000 Tim!
