30 year Suzuki still competitive with moderns..you bet!
« on: June 08, 2008, 09:59:38 pm »
Weeeell, still competitive against an 08 JR50 at least  :P ;D

Suzuki Centrals factory vintage pilot (in the making) with his timeless JR50 ;)



I'd love so much to see this bike run at the pointy end one day and have other kids saying.."what tha!!"  :D

the camera lies!  :D they're not that great in reality but then they aren't that bad by any means either. Since I doubt I'll ride them I keep 'em up here with me so I have more room in the garage for the real play bikes ;D I have very limited space like many others  :-\ my sleeping arrangement is about 10 feet to the right so they really are starting to get in my face..literally  ::)

 :o Is the bear catholic! Does the Pope shit in the woods!! you bet I'd like an RM50 Brent :) Not being overly financial right now says there's a few cheapies on offer (about $250) this is always the case ::) Dodgee and I had some RM50 bits but we promptly got rid of them as we would 'never' need that crap..doh! famous last words eh! If bottom of the barrel and at the right price I'm always interested. Thanks  :)

Really?! That's your bedroom?
I thought it was maybe the bar at Roger de Costers house...or the boardroom at Suzuki Japan. ;)

goodness DJ, time sure hasn't been kind to Roger but to have Gaston back is wonderful! ;D

Wombat, I've room for a couple of TM's and an RM400 and I would but... :-\  problem I have is getting them up here (2 flights of narrow stairs with a 90° and a 180° turn..maybe the RL's would be a better choice, bit of a tricky section but it could be done without footing...much :P) hence it's only the mini's that survive. If there is a fire   I have a plan for rapid ejection but it won't be pretty :o
