Suzuki RE5 description

"EXTREMELY COLLECTABLE"- Suzuki RE5, built between 1974-1976. This was Suzuki's technical flagship of that era, Suzuki spent 40 million dollars to design and produce a mere 6000 units world wide, only a handful made it to Canada. This is the first and last Japanese built, rotary engined motorcycle ever.
We acquired this motorcycle from a local dealer/collector who is dispersing his collection, and has owned this bike for over 10 years, kept in a dark dry warehouse.
Here is a great, honest survivor with only 13,916 miles. This motorcycle has the original paint, called Fire Mist blue. The bike appears to be original throughout with exception to a fuel petcock replacement, and tires which were probably replaced 20 years ago.We installed a new battery. All fluids are recently new, and there are no visible leaks anywhere. We had the bike running for several minutes and it runs excellent- no noises, just a lovely exhaust note. Clutch feels perfect as does the shifting. Front brakes will need some work to perform properly, the lever has no feel, even though there is fluid in the reservoir. All the lights on the dash and digital gear indicator work the way they should. The instrument cluster is missing the green plastic dome shaped cover which is commonly missing on these bikes, but can be found on ebay. Paint is in fantastic condition given its age, with a few nicks in the decals, and small scratches.Engine alloys have normal oxidation, chrome is very good, frame, wheels, spokes, exhaust are in great condition, the heat shields on the exhaust are missing some of the small phillips screws that hold it in place. The wiring appears to be original and un molested. The seat looks like it's new ! Also comes with owners manual, service manual, parts catalogue and rotary engine book. Any questions or more pictures- feel free to contact email, jeff@globalvalue.ca
Deposit of $1000 required within 24hrs of sale completion; buyer responsible for shipping, however I will assist you the best I can to get this bike shipped to your home. Bike has a clean New Brunswick title. Thank you !

Best Helmet Designs from the 2009 MotoGP Season

Thu, 22 Oct 2009

Unlike with most athletes, motorcycle racers’ faces remain hidden during competition. Except for promotional events or pre- and post-race interviews, the faces of our racing heroes are shielded under protective helmets with tinted visors. You don’t see the same human emotion in their faces like you can when soccer players score a goal or baseball players hit a home run.

2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Concept

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Suzuki is currently testing prototype versions of the 2014 V-Strom 1000 first teased during the Intermot Expo in Germany last year. The company also has a dedicated V-Strom 1000 website centered around the concept, its inception, design challenges, and what Suzuki hopes to achieve with the new model. Judging by the photos, the new Strom will retain the same 996cc V-Twin engine first seen on the original Strom 1000 11 years ago.

Fri, 29 Jun 2012

Suzuki showrooms in China are about to look a lot different in a couple of days, with the usual small-displacement single-cylinder motorcycles making way for a couple of big behemoths. The Japanese manufacturer has joint ventures with four Chinese companies offering motorcycles and scooters, primarily small-displacement models. One of those joint ventures is Jinan Qingqi Suzuki Motorcycle Co., which offers models such as the GT125 standard or the QS150 cruiser.
