Suzuki GLADIUS description
|
Almost like new, only 3,755 miles. Purchased new April 9, 2015 from the local Suzuki dealer by 65+ year old seller and ridden carefully and joyfully with special attention to break in miles. Original list price was $7699. Oil and filter changed on schedule. Never dropped, raced or abused.
Runs perfectly, the liquid cooled, 90-degree V-Twin engine is powerful and smooth. 6-speed transmission shifts faultlessly and clutch action is light and predictable. The Suzuki is a total joy to ride, handles and corners easily and comfortably. Seller lives close to the Smokey Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway and there have been numerous day trips to enjoy the scenery. Examine the pictures closely and you'll see a lovingly cared for motorcycle by a long-time rider. I'm selling because I got another motorcycle. Clear title is in seller's possession. Seller offers no warranty and motorcycle is sold as is, no return. But since the motorcycle is nearly like new you will not be disappointed. There are several tiny paint chips on the back of the tank near the seat (see picture). Seller lives in Greenville, SC and pickup is preferred. The motorcycle is no longer licensed or insured so is not being ridden, the mileage shown is actual. It has always been garaged. Extras: K&N air filter (original OEM air filter is included) M4 slip-on exhaust (original OEM exhaust is included), the M4 provides a rich smooth sound, not overly loud or obnoxious and is easily 20 pounds lighter than the original exhaust. Gas tank filler bayonet mount for tank bag, bag is included as shown and is perfect for storing small items such as smart phone, gloves, cap, etc. 12-volt pigtail to plug in accessories All paperwork, booklets, receipts and 2 keys |

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box
Mon, 10 Dec 2012A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show. On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca. With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem. When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season. We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!
