Shannon Hayes Writes in.


Here are some pics of my GS1000S project bike, The guys at Yoshimura put it on there web site under fan photos, so I was thinking you guys might like to see it? I put it together from a 1979 GS1000 and lots of bits from my friends atSteel's Cycle Salvage, the forks, swingarm, wheels, and brakes came from a GSF1200, and oil cooler, levers, and foot pegs from a GSX-R 750. The motorand amazing carb conversion was done buy Eddie at Sisneros Speed Works, the carbs are from a late model FZ1 and the motor has a Wiseco big bore kit. The paint and body work was done by DJ at Str8 Customs. I did the extensive fabrication work myself, but with out my friends It would not have been possible. I hope you guys enjoy the pics and story. 

That's just... damm.. I'm just speechless.  Thanks VERY much for the pics including yesterdays CB750 Cafe and tomorrow's X-Strom

Suzuki GS1150ES. Old School Superbike Cool.

Reader Ride. Some Sweet Suzuki SRAD Fighter Action

Joe Dunderdale sent in this great Streetfighter build.

He writes:
I thought I'd send you a few pictures of my bike.
Its a 1998 GSXR 750 SRAD Street fighter, a modern interpretation of the Cafe Racer and in my opinion by definition a bike that is lighter and kicks out more power than its stock counterpart.


Specs:
1998 GSXR 750 SRAD FRAME
2001 GSXR 1000 ENGINE, HARNESS, CLOCKS, FUEL PUMP RETROFITTED IN THE 98 TANK.
LASER CUT SUBFRAME, ENGINE MOUNTS,
YOSHIMURA TRS SHORTENED TO 300 MM
KX MOTORCROSS BARS, CUSTOM BAR MOUNTS


147 HP 60LBS LIGHTER THAN THE 2001 GSXR 1000

That is freaking awesome! I love the raw metal look.  Thanks for the pic!

Maybe THE Coolest Suzuki EN125 On The Planet!

Hello,

How are you doing? Just want to share our latest work. The donor bike is an Suzuki EN125, and the owner wanted a two-seater that could go through the rain (he meant some useful fenders :D), and he also wanted to change the frame and the seating position, so we change the footpegs position and gave him a taller bar. The tank is fron an old Suzuki GP125, and the battry box is a modified Suzuki A100 carb filter box. The fenders are customized honda CB100's. No major works withthe suspensions. As always (been too busy to set up new blog/site! :) ) you can check the building process here ( http://www.facebook.com/gifny.richata#!/album.php?aid=27446&id=115078248506795 )


Have a nice day!!
cheers,

Reader Ride. BADASS DR650 Streetfighter / Motard.

Good Morning,
Its a 2003 Suzuki DR650 with a few mods and it gos like stink!
Cheers!

Later he updated me with some build details:

Hey Steve,               

Thanks for your comments.Like you said great handling bike just cluttered and a little ugly.The rear rim is a stock 17" the front I changed to 18" it balanced the profile and lowered it an inch.The front and rear suspension were lowered 3" and still has 7" of travel.I cut about 12" off the back frame and welded a new hoop.Seat pan is stock with new foam.The tank is off an old Harley and mounted like the factory. The exhaust, side panels and head light bracket are all one off made by me.The oil cooler I remounted off the front of the frame.All the old tabs were cut and ground off to clean up the frame.The stance of the bike came out perfect and I can still lower it an inch front or rear. The motor is stock except for the pipe,jet kit and K&N filter.Tires are Scorpion A/Ts.The bike is for sale so I can start a new project over the winter.

I'm not interested in becoming a for sale site but if anyone's interested I'll get you Mike's Contact info. I think it great and I'd seriously consider buying it myself but I've alead got a DR650 (much more stock) that I'm modding.

2-Stroke Suzuki GT750 Custom Streetfighter Porn...

Damm. Words escape me...

Reader Ride. Excellent Old-School Suzuki Sprotbike :) Wanderlust Pic.

I still love those old GSXR's

Austin says this is on highway 20. North cascades pass, Washington state. He had a few other shots that looked great but they were too small / low resolution to post. If you can re-send those I'll be happy to add them.

Thanks Much

For hose of you who just HAVE to keep going this winter...

Very Rugged Suzuki Katana. As seen on...

No future Tokyo..  More pics there.

NOT Sold in the U.S. Bikes We Don't "Get" Here in The U.S.

Over on Motorcycle Daily there's a good blurb today about a beautifully equipped Euro only V-Strom 650. The story covers the usual storyline about Americans and their love of cruisers etc... etc...

The sad fact of the matter is that we don't get them here because we really don't "get" them.

Damm Shame. Missing out on some great bikes that would do very well in Americas wide open spaces.

Exhibit "A":

Suzuki GSX-R1000

Suzuki's GSX-R1000 has seen incremental improvements over the years, but the 2009 model is the first all-new iteration of the flagship superbike since 2001. Countless superbike racing victories later, and the legendary Gixxer 1000 faces more pressure than ever for excellence.

Suzuki engineers altered virtually every aspect of the GSX-R1000 for 2009 in order to build a better bike. A more compact twin spar frame shortens the wheelbase for more maneuverability, while a longer aluminum alloy swingarm is arched to accommodate new twin titanium exhaust cans. New radially mounted mono-block front brakes shave unsprung weight, as do new three-spoke cast aluminum wheels. New, race-inspired BPF (Big Piston Front-forks) by Showa feature rebound and compression valving adjustment screws on the fork caps.
