There's little bit of story on how ended up with this bike. This exact year, make, model and color was my first bike when was 16 years old. I rode it from the age of 16 till the age of 21, put over 15,000 miles on it (lived in Chicago at the time where we had approximately riding months per year), rode it extremely hard and yet never had single issue with the bike.
In the middle of December when was 21, ended up selling it to guy worked with when it was literally freezing with snow on the ground fairly cheap. I explained to him that the condition of the bike and the color of the factory graphics are what make the bike rare and worth money. He said he would take care of it. Needless to say, the first day he rode it to work about months later, it was painted blue and gray tone color...and terrible paint job might add. I asked him what happened and he said his niece knocked it over in his garage few days after sold it to him. It left really bad taste in my mouth and literally since that day years ago, have searched far and wide to find another one that was stock and in as excellent shape as mine was. In that entire time, literally only found available for sale. I went to look at it and it was disaster. Other than that, never found another one.
In August of 2012, found this one listed at dealer in Texas. It was from Suzuki dealer. Seeing one of these bikes is so rare, that even the Suzuki dealer put in their listing...and quote..."It seems as though the previous owner put pink and black body kit on this bike". Sure enough, knew exactly what it was but did not let them know the details. I immediately called them and bought it as inventory seeing as to how am dealer. I had it shipped from Texas to Chicago with 11,099 miles on it.
In the beginning of March of 2013 when it was fairly nice out, trailered it to my bike builder's shop and had it serviced. He rebuilt the carb, put in new battery and replaced the oil and filter. In the middle of March of 2013, moved to Las Vegas. It had been sitting in my garage at home ever since. Once week, start the bike to let it run for little while just to keep everything flowing and to keep the engine lubed internally. I still had not ridden the bike.
I now realize that have total of motorcycles and really only ride one of them. And although it was more of nostalgia purchase from my childhood and it almost filled void in my life after such long search for one, never ride the bike. It now has 12,013 miles on it. The 14 miles was so can ride it from my home to my warehouse where took the pics. I rode it on side streets, onto the main road and then on to I-15 with speeds ranging from 15 mph up to about 90 mph and it ran absolutely perfect!
So there you have it. That is how ended up with this bike. Hopefully don't end up wanting it again because don't have the patience to search for another years. Most of you may not even know that these bikes exist but here it is. Hopefully the next owner respects it as much as did and gets to enjoy it every single day. This bike is the reason why every sport bike I ever bought after owning my 92 GSX-R750 was only GSX-R's (with the exception of my Panigale but that's breed of it's own).
I am having the bike completely serviced again so the next owner can enjoy it without having to worry about anything. Good luck and thanks for looking! You will not be disappointed and can almost guarantee you will not find another one like it; especially in this condition!
