    Since the 1970's/80's, there has been few notable machines produced that captured the fun and spirit of these bygone days. Bikes in these decades were so beautifully "raw" as they had no safety features so common place on modern bikes today. Being more in charge with the control of these older bikes was what made them fun and for the most part, made us better riders as we had a deeper respect for the power we had at our disposal This bike so epitomises what biking was all about in that era, great days man!

    I've owned a lot of rice rockets in my time, but never a Suzuki, it just never came to be. It takes top-notch mechanics and top notch tools to get it done right. I agree snap-on all the way!!

      @@richardmorris7063 no yamaha's? I had a few of them. 81 Maxum 650 4 cylinder and a YZ125, never got to ride the 125 before I sold it. Aluminum frame aluminum rims , a very lightweight but fast bike along with a Yamaha 100 in which I rode the wheels off until it finally quit. A Kawasaki 750. A Honda 350, a Honda 175 and a Honda no-ped. Built like a moped but look just like a miniature motorcycle. I'll still own my cb175 street bike, been garage kept over 40yrs. My very first big bike at the time.

    i dont care what people think but i know the CB , GS , KZ etc. 750 and up will still run with anything today . they have questionable structure insufficiencies compared to the 90s aluminum horseshoe shape chassis , but aside from the obvious antiquities . the evolution of ride everyday bike came from Japan and were meant to last . built before their time . the ease of low maintenence and hydraulics , but the power available right there when you Know what to do with it . those things began there and a bike with anything less is outta the question . i dont like the shaft drives but what those bikes offered truly set the mark in the world . bikes that will out last you on the road. beautiful things to be able to appreciate

    Like everybody else already said, nice sounding exhaust note. I wonder if a full kerker exhaust system, might give it a little more of a muffled growl?? That is one sick vintage musclebike. Those gorgeous gold tank badges, really make that black paintjob pop!

    Bullet proof ! Extra reliable with the added assurance if you get shot at while riding the engine will still be good. Bike and rider will be full of bullets but not that engine.

    Starting about 79 Suzuki took the lead in Worlds fastest bike. I had the Kawasaki 1000 & it was fast but not this fast. To this day they're top 2-3 fastest bikes. You're team has that thing jetted to within an inch of its life! That might pull you're house off the foundation.. Lol

    spokes and brushed or polished aluminum just has a elegance . like old world homes and wood or stone carved for all to admire . ill say Sexiness . there's nothing shameful about it if its done reasonably . that's my point
