Suzuki Other description

 Up for grabs...Here's a very rare 1972 Suzuki ts 185 J Sierra Suitcase Cycle. These bikes were "built" in Santa Monica, CA for light aircraft pilots to stow away on their planes.  Suitcase Cycle would buy in motorcycles (lightweight bikes from Honda, Suzuki, and Kawasaki) and do the conversions in their warehouse to make them easy to breakdown.  Quick-disconnects were added to the wiring harnesses, frames were modified to be quickly taken apart.  A very cool concept and one that adds another range of freedom for motorcyclists and airplane enthusiasts. This bike is in nice restorable condition. The tach is a replacement, the front tire is brand new as are the clutch cable, battery and throttle cable. The tank has no dents, the motor turns over and has strong compression.  Please feel free to ask any questions. The bike is being sold "as is" with a bill of sale (no pink).
Thanks for looking!

Capirossi Announces Retirement at Conclusion of 2011 Season

Thu, 01 Sep 2011

Loris Capirossi announced he will retire at the end of the 2011 MotoGP season, closing off a quarter century of racing including 22 years at the Grand Prix level and three World Championships. “It’s an important moment in my career, and the decision I made has come about after a lot of reflection,” says Capriossi. “I’m happy that after 25 years, of which 22 were in the world championship, I’m at a point where I can still have a smile on my lips as I part ways, even if it’s difficult to think that I won’t be riding a bike next year.” The announcement was made during a press conference at Misano for the upcoming San Marino Grand Prix, the final Italian stop of the 2011 season.

Racing vows renewed at Motegi

Over the weekend, an aged Japanese racer reacquainted himself with one of his early loves. Celebrating 50 years of Suzuki racing, Mitsuo Ito took his former flame, the RM63, for a trip down memory lane and a lap around the Motegi circuit. The miniscule 50cc race bike was born from the legend of MZ employee Ernst Degner's defection from East Germany to Japan during the early days of the Cold War.
