• Beautifully restored to exact specifications as it rolled off the showroom, this bike came with the upgraded air adjustable extra travel forks which provided a 3” additional travel and the magnesium crank for less weight, both very rare.

• Every part on the bike was either new old stock or original Suzuki parts from Vintage Suzuki.
• The motor was completely taken apart, rebuilt, media blasted and then powder coated.
