Suzuki GS description

This listing is for a 1979 Suzuki GS 1000 S Wes Cooley replica motorcycle. These bikes have become extremely rare and hard to find. S models were only produced for 2 years having a very low production of roughly 600 each year.

This bike is a project bike. IT DOES NOT RUN AT PRESENT TIME! I purchased this bike several years ago with intentions of restoring. It has always been stored in heated garage with gas tank empty.

Bike was repainted prior to my purchase to mimic the Red European version. Overall paint job is good 7/10. Bike has approx. 9000 miles on speedometer and I believe to be correct. Bike is complete with the exceptions of missing mirrors and turn signals. Header and Air pods have been added at some point. Tank is VERY clean and NO dents. Front fender has a couple creases. Rear tire is Great and front tire has good tread with cracking. I believe there are issues with the Electrical system. Put a battery in and red and green light comes on by ignition, but nothing up front works. If you hit the rear brakes the rear light comes on. I was told upon my purchase that the bike did run at the point prior to paint job. My best guess is something was screwed up reconnecting the front wiring. That is about all I know for certain.

This would make a great rare bike for someone who not afraid of a challenge. I have owned several Wes Cooleys of various conditions in the past and know very well their value's. I am asking what I believe to be a fair market value price. I am willing to listen to reasonable offers!! PLEASE don't waste my time with ridiculous low ball offers. Bike is also listed local and I reserve the right to end listing at any time, unless there is a withstanding best offer submitted. PLEASE ask any and all questions prior to purchase or offer. My E-mail is mixed up at the present time, so PLEASE be patient and I will respond as soon as I can.  AS ALL SALES ARE FINAL!

I am willing to assist in shipping any way I can. Immediate $500 Pay-pal deposit is required at time of purchase. Balance to be be paid in CASH at time of pick-up. Other payment arrangements must be worked out with me prior to completion of sale. If buyer backs out of sale for any reason $250 of deposit will be forfeited. If you don't agree with these guidelines. DON"T BID! Thanks for looking.

Knee-high land-speed record device

Wed, 28 Jul 2010

This mad looking motorcycle is a land speed record device that never turned a wheel in anger. It was built by the infamous Dave Manning in 1968 using a discarded drop tank from a Korean fighter plane. Manning built a space-frame chassis inside the tiny teardrop and also managed to find room for a Suzuki T500 twin cylinder two-stroke motor.

Old boys up front and where are the new 600 Gixers?

Mon, 28 Feb 2011

As I’ve been gagging for the new race season to kick off so it was almost a pleasure getting up at stupid 0 clock to watch the World Superbike Championship  opener at Phillip Island last weekend. I have to say Messrs Burnicle and Whitham were on form although I was disappointed there were none of the usual verbal attacks on each other that always add to the entertainment.    I’m sure they will put things right soon but the world superbike regulars must have been disheartened that Moto GP veterans nailed five of the six available rostrum slots.
