The modern suspension and running gear with 17" wheels make it handle like a modern bike and look really low. Actually, I have not had any clearance problems or drug any parts while using all of the Michelin Pilot Powers outer grip.

      That is one sweet looking motorcycle! But then I've always liked what you produce-I had your Cooley replica as my desktop photo for quite a while a few years ago.

        So my riding buddy and I went to the inaugural Kentucky Kickdown. Louisville was crawling with vintage cafes, bobbers, brats & choppers and many classic, original two wheeled machines. The event was held between Barrett Bar & The Monkey Wrench.

        One of the many fine Hondas present.


        Harris Framed KZ1000 racer.


        Fine 750 chopper.


        Another prime XS.


        Seeley Honda Cafe.


        My personal favorite of the show... Triumph

          A short video walk-around of The Kentucky Kickdown 2013 to view all the two wheeled eye candy. For a first year event it was really quite well attended.

          We did the Big Sid Memorial ride winding through the Kentucky hills and ending down by the river. Big Sid's son rode the famous "Vincati" built by Sid as seen in the shadows of the foreground.

                Thanks hj,

                You are correct the modded GT 750 is a barrel of fun to ride. I a have a few different bikes and the fun factor for me is the highest on that damn smokey, water buffalo, beast.

                  Combat,

                  Here are a couple more of the Vincati. Also, in the pic taken by the river there is a black Egli Vincent next to the Vincati. As you can see, the Vincati was Big Sid's idea of mating a Vincent motor to a Ducati frame.

                    So my November 2013 issue of Cycle World arrived and to my surprise I found myself, my son and my father all in the CW Rolling Concourse cover story photo leaving the Pagoda at Indy for the rolling portion of the show. Three generations of Suzuki riders from my family represented in this pic... Grandfather, son, grandson.

                    The Indy Pagoda in the early morning light with the sun coming up is a sight to behold!

                        It's dirty. It's loud. It's oily. Gas milage worse than my truck. It smokes... A LOT. But it is so F'n fun to ride.

                        The Buffalo emerges from it's winter slumber.

                          Very cool. The GT750 is on my wish list and looking at your bike keeps it on the list. Good job.

                            Don't wait too long.

                            Prices are rising.
                            More & more of them are in the hands of collectors that will only part with them after you pry the keys out of their cold dead hands.

                                I have GOT to get mine back on the road! Now that I'm unemployed I finally have some free time. Maybe I'll be riding it this Summer after all.
