    700 in the showroom?

    Sent a few pics to a buddy who is the general manager of the local Suzuki, Kaw and Yamaha dealer. Long story short it ended up on there showroom floor for the month of December as a display. Funny thing, as I rolled it through the door a guy in his twenties asked if it was a 2010 arrival... he wasn't joking! I guess I better replace the visible rusty bolts!

      I don't blame them for putting it up on the showfloor - it's a damn fine looking bike. Great job fixing it up to that level of appearance.

      As for the guy at the door - those moments are always funny. I'm only 21 so my 1150 is four years older than me, but I'm more knowledgeable about 80's bikes than I am about modern ones.

        My 850 is 2 years older than I am. and the old bikes are damn easy to work on. Aside from the rust that happens up here.


        I would have tried to see if they would keep the bike there all winter had it been mine. Climate controlled and no dirt/dust? HECK YEAH! lol

              I know they're apples and oranges but you can definitely see the lineage when you look at the V-Strom in the background.
