[Guest]

Who here has one or has had one , i have a line on one and want

to know a little about it, i know parts are hard to come by,Brian

[Big T]

Brian,

I don't have one, but I have 2 friends that do

Don't buy one that's not complete, because parts are impossible to find and just about every part is specific to that bike

They are cool in their "rarity" but they are TURDS performance wise! Ray.

Wow - if you can buy one for $2500 that is original, complete, and running - that is a great price. And I don't think I've ever seen any other paint scheme than silver....

Maybe not quarter mile killers, but the 650 is one of the smoothest engines Suzuki ever made, and a lighter bike overall.

[harley10]

Well looks like im going to get it I will try and post pics tomorrow after I pick it up, Brian

Not sure about 650 being overly smooth, they are often noted has have a harmonic vibrational zone right in the common highway cruising rpms. 850's are the engines that seem smoothest. Regardless though, a turbo Suzuki would be a nice pickup.

I got it home took it for a ride runs amazing and it is very smooth, have not opened it up yet but will very soon . i do need a couple things for it,
some parts are interchangeable , Brian

[harley10]

Ooops forgot does anyone know the name of yhe factory turbo forum , i cant find i use to be on it, Brian

I know of one website, not a forum though:

They were all silver but I can imagine it would look nice painted black. Post pics when you get a chance!

And if you do repaint it back to original, decal sets are available from a few sources. Here's one: http://www.xn85turbo.com/suzuki_xn85_decal_set.htm

The owner of this Katana website (also in S. Ontario) owns a couple of XN85's and welcomes them to the Kat family: http://www.classickatanaownersna.com/home.html

Congrats on the Turbo, Brian.
Just don't paint this one orange.
Ted might not let you in the club.

[steve murdoch]

Brian, it looks great!
No expert by any means but i have never seen the black paint scheme.

[Hayabuser]

The black looks terrific!

[harley10]

yeah it looks good but I wish it was original for sure,Brian
