Update 2.10.23: This bike has SOLD! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc The legend that is the Suzuki GSX-R began stateside in 1986. The original air/oil cooled slab sided model was followed by the Slingshot era, denoting rounder flanks and tweaks to the engine tuning. And when the air/oil cooling had reached its maximum efficiency,…
Let’s start right out in the open: this is not your ordinary 1982 Suzuki Katana. While the Katana was made available in both 1000cc and 1100cc models (the former with an eye towards homologation for racing), this was originally the smaller of the two – an even liter. But much like the automotive world where…

This 1127cc K-variant has just 4,400 miles, stealth paint scheme, and spent all its nights in a Queens garage. 1989 Suzuki GXS-R1100…
This is a guest post from Jaron who is considering joining our team. Thanks Jaron! -dc While most are not lusting over an FZ or FZR we can all agree on that 80s/early 90s vehicles values in general are skyrocketing. (I personally just picked up a trade tariff 1987 FZ700 for this reason.) Why not…
