Clue: it aint a 400 ( or a 500 )

If you go into Crescent Suzuki down at Verwood near Bournemouth they have a whole history of racing Suzuki's on display, from 750s, through 500s to the Moto GP bikes.

None of the calipers are bigger than SV's, & lock how sturdy the forks on the racer are. Although it DID have a ventilated read disc!
Polly G's for quality of pics - think I had a knee-trembler moment there.

Default Re: Didn't die, but went to Heaven . .

there are 4 bikes that actually get me exited when i see them.

1. Kawasaki KH100
2.Kawasaki KH750
3.Norton Wankel
4.VFR750 RC30

don't get me wrong i like a lot of other bikes such as the BSA gold star etc.etc but the above 4 are iconic in my life.
