It's this silver bike's silver anniversary already. I
can remember stopping by Dynamic motorcycles to look
at the Katanas in the window at night like it was a
couple of summers ago. I would dream about this bike
for more than 15 years before I actually owned one.
Every part of it has either been cleaned, repainted,
rebuilt or polished in the past 10 years.
All upgrades had to be pre GSX-R period old-school if
you will. The powder coated wheels are 6 spoke '83
GS1100 front and GS1150 for the back, the oil cooler
is also from the 1150. tires are Metzeler, ATK fork
brace, Koni shocks, Progressive suspension springs,
Ferodo pads - everything down to the Yoshimura pipe
and 'solo'seat (pun intended) is 80s era.
I've owned a half dozen Suzuki motorcycles in the last
three decades but can't see ever parting with this
one.
