Suzuki GS description

This listing is for a 1979 Suzuki GS 1000 S Wes Cooley replica motorcycle. These bikes have become extremely rare and hard to find. S models were only produced for 2 years having a very low production of roughly 600 each year.

This bike is a project bike. IT DOES NOT RUN AT PRESENT TIME! I purchased this bike several years ago with intentions of restoring. It has always been stored in heated garage with gas tank empty.

Bike was repainted prior to my purchase to mimic the Red European version. Overall paint job is good 7/10. Bike has approx. 9000 miles on speedometer and I believe to be correct. Bike is complete with the exceptions of missing mirrors and turn signals. Header and Air pods have been added at some point. Tank is VERY clean and NO dents. Front fender has a couple creases. Rear tire is Great and front tire has good tread with cracking. I believe there are issues with the Electrical system. Put a battery in and red and green light comes on by ignition, but nothing up front works. If you hit the rear brakes the rear light comes on. I was told upon my purchase that the bike did run at the point prior to paint job. My best guess is something was screwed up reconnecting the front wiring. That is about all I know for certain.

This would make a great rare bike for someone who not afraid of a challenge. I have owned several Wes Cooleys of various conditions in the past and know very well their value's. I am asking what I believe to be a fair market value price. I am willing to listen to reasonable offers!! PLEASE don't waste my time with ridiculous low ball offers. Bike is also listed local and I reserve the right to end listing at any time, unless there is a withstanding best offer submitted. PLEASE ask any and all questions prior to purchase or offer. My E-mail is mixed up at the present time, so PLEASE be patient and I will respond as soon as I can.  AS ALL SALES ARE FINAL!

I am willing to assist in shipping any way I can. Immediate $500 Pay-pal deposit is required at time of purchase. Balance to be be paid in CASH at time of pick-up. Other payment arrangements must be worked out with me prior to completion of sale. If buyer backs out of sale for any reason $250 of deposit will be forfeited. If you don't agree with these guidelines. DON"T BID! Thanks for looking.

Motorcycles at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show

Mon, 28 Sep 2009

Two weeks ago, I took a break from my regular duties gathering news for Motorcycle.com to fly to Germany to cover the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show for our sister site AutoGuide.com. For two hectic days, AutoGuide editor Colum Wood and I scrambled across the massive 6.2 million square foot Messe Frankfurt trade fair compound, running from press conference to press conference to get the latest on exotic sport cars, futuristic concept models and international unveilings from the automotive world. It was heaven for car lovers, but for me, it meant fighting my way through hordes of photogs, auto-journalists and car show models to get the first photos of four-wheeled goodies from MINI, Ferrari and Lotus.

Don't you wish your lips were this soft?!

FILMED IN THE days when advertising campaigns were more based around glamour than fact, check this Max Factor commercial, featuring 1970s hot chick Erin Grey. Complete with Suzuki trail bikes and period attire, the Max babes look the part in their colour-matching jumpsuits. Reminds us of the joke: How did the Avon Lady get pregnant?

Schwantz School, the ultimate track experience?

Mon, 22 Aug 2011

If having one-to-one instruction from an ex-MotoGP World Champion is your dream, then why not put the Schwantz School on your Christmas list for 2012. Ok, it’s in America and slightly more expensive than your average track day ($2750 for two days at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway) but many satisfied customers will argue this is the best rider training experience in the world. Your hard earned Dollar will see you alternate between the classroom and track from 8am until 4pm, then Kevin will take you on a track tour where he explains riding techniques and answers questions (he even drives the bus).
