Default Suzuki GSXR 750 SRAD 1997 £650

I bought this bike at the start of the summer last year to use as a road / track bike. I’ve done 3 track days on it – it’s been superb but financial constraints and relationship break up mean it’s got to go.
The handling is confidence inspiring and secure. It has Pirelli SuperCorsas on it which really help.
The problems with it are that there are several cosmetic scuffs on the tank and the fairing (see photos) and that it’s really down on power below 4,000 revs. Sometimes the absence of power low down means it's almost un-rideable. There's nothing at all there then when it eventually takes off the acceleration is startling. I've changed the plugs and cleaned the carbs which has made no difference.
I don't have time to sort it out and need rid of the bike soon. I thought someone here might use the front end for their SV or have a go at fixing the engine.
It has tax and MOT until June.
It would either be available for collection on the weekend of 2-3 May from Cardiff when I'm picking my stuff up from my ex-girlfriends house or after that from Ayr in South West Scotland.
Just to be clear;
- I can't guarantee it will start because it's in a garage that I now no longer have access to (ex-girlfriends) so the battery could be flat
- It is really borderline rideable on the road and I'd suggest a van or trailer to collect it
- I don't know why it's down on power, it could be an easy fix it could be a new engine needed
But the reasons above are reflected in the price.
Cheers,
Ewan

I think that's because I didn't compress the photos so Geocities tell me I've exceeded my bandwidth and they've denied access. Try this instead

The mileage is 34,000 I think.

Hi Chris,
The sale/collection is arranged for 2nd May so unless there is a problem then I'm afraid its gone. Thanks for the interest though.
