Suzuki Bandit description

Selling My 2001 Suzuki Bandit GSF 600 S Sport Touring Motorcycle. Bike has been maintained above and beyond by professional shops and dealerships. Adult owned always, never been dropped. No leaks. I just spent $1,500 on it having the valves adjusted, the carbs completely refurbished / rebuilt and synchronized to perfection. Cables lubed, replaced all fluids, replaced the battery, adjusted the clutch, the brakes etc. I made a video to show the bike to you because photographs are really not enough to explain how nice this bike is overall. Don't let the mileage worry you, it starts, runs, and performs like a champ. There are a few scratches here and there, shown in the video. This bike is suited well for anybody from beginner to expert. I'm 6'-1" tall and fit just fine on this bike. This was my commuter bike to work, I purchased a new one and don't ride it anymore. Generally people sell you a used bike that needs a couple grand to get it in tip top shape. Not here, I already spent all that money so you don't have to. Put on some new tires, fill the gas tank, and ride your heart out. Ready to go! The starting bid will be priced at below the value of the bike, winning bid will win the bike. I do not believe in auctions that start at a dollar. Let's be realistic here. This isn't a vending machine. You are bidding on a performance motorcycle - do not bid unless you have the funds to pay. Cash in person is the only accepted form of payment, and the clear PA title will be handed to you at the time of sale. In state buyers must accompany me to a notary for the title transfer. Out of state buyers may take the title and go. You must pick the motorcycle up, or schedule your own delivery service. Watch the video of the bike recorded today November 17th 2016.

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show.  On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca.  With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem.  When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season.  We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!       

A Different Bike Magazine

Thu, 12 Feb 2009

Motorcycle Retro is a pet project of former Motorcyclist editor Mitch Boehm, launching as Motorcyclist Retro in early 2008 under the Source Interlink media umbrella. It featured a contemporary look at motorcycles of the 1960s through the 1980s. However, the circulation numbers of MR didn’t meet the expectations of the media conglomerate, and they cancelled production of the magazine after just two issues.

Old boys and proper bikes at the Spa Classic 2012.

Mon, 09 Jul 2012

If you miss seeing factory two stroke racing machinery being ridden properly then you should consider a trip to the Spa classic event in 2013. I was the lucky recipient of an invitation to ride there last week and had a blast riding some tasty kit from the past. I went well at Spa in 250cc GPs  but the circuit scared me on the 500s.
