1975 Suzuki GT750
Owner: Larry Martin, Ireland
Comments: “I'm sending a pic of my '75 GT750M. I have owned the bike for about eight years. It is totally original Candy Red. Even the mirrors have the red S on them.
It was brought over to Ireland from Arizona dessert where it had been lying in a garage for years.”
Here's more Suzuki GT750 info.

1983 Suzuki GSX 1100 E
Owner: Glenn Wagner, Canada
Purchased: spring 2001
Comments: 1983 GS1100E was a bike ahead
of its time. Fast and powerful, but a nice cruising
bike all rolled into one.

1983 Suzuki GSX 1100 SD Katana
Owner: Snorre Kristoffersen, Alta, Norway
Comments: I`m very pleased with my Katana but I want better brakes up front. I'm planning to upgrade to a Bandit1200 front end. Want to keep the apperance of the bike as original as possible. I'm sure this bike will be in my possession for a long time. 160,2 bhp at rear wheel.

Here's more RE5 Rotary info.

RE5 Rotary 1975
Owner: Magnus Hallme, Stockholm, Sweden
Purchase date: new in 1977
Modifications: cast alloy wheels, fairing, luggage carrier.
Comments: It's like riding an elephant; it's heavy, reacts slow etc. The engine is not a racer but compared to other engines from that time it has great torque. The fuel economy is OK 6 to 10 liter per 100 km. The oil comsumption lies around 0,5 liter per 100 km. The engine sound like a lawn mowner, listen to the sound file.

1998 Suzuki GSX750
Owner: RoB Sap, Culemborg, Netherlands
Purchased: May 2001, 7,800 km on the clock (to replace a Bandit 600).
Mods: BSM Vampire race can for more torque, better sound and ideling. LSL aluminium superbike handlebar and mini flashers. Maybe later a dyno jet kit or a bigger engine.
Comments: Next thing is to get rid of the plastic tail and put the license plate direct under the tail light. It needs a bit thicker oil in the front fork. I also want steel brakelines and a set of crash protectors. Tyres are Pirelli's, pretty good. 23,000 km on the clock now. A good bike for commuting and holiday trips.

1999 Suzuki GSX750
Owner: Nigel Paine, Hastings, England
Purchased: February 1999
Comments: I have done 34,000 miles on it so far and use it for commuting to work, touring holidays and the occasional track day. It's a nice bike but it needs a lot of regular cleaning because the budget build quality doesn't like the winter weather.

1986 Kawasaki 1100 J1 (rebuilt to Suzuki)
Owner: Maddog Ant, East Midlands, UK
Mods: GSX-R1100 oil cooled motor fitted with 40mm flatside carbs, stage one dyno, GSX-R1100 front end, the forks extended by 3 inches, 17" GSX-R rims, swingarm, mono shock, wheel & rear break. all the electrics, the clocks etc etc.
Comments: The gearing has been lowered a bit to give it that bye bye R1 thing from the lights & she's putting out 145 bhp at the rear hoop. The bike has only been on the road for just over a year, been building it for many more before that. The next step I think is a turbo-charger, but we will have to see what happens with the B-King. Now that's what I call a bike!!!

1967 Suzuki K10 P
1972 Suzuki GT 550 J
1995 Honda Fireblade
Owner: Ian Holmes, North Wales UK.
Comments: Currently I have three bikes, a Suzuki GT550J and a K10P (1967) and I use one of the enemy for my every day 'hack' — a 1995 Fireblade. The GT550 I've had about 14 years. Used it as every day transport until deciding to rebuild it four years ago - now used in the summer months. It has cost a fortune. See in a small article of it in last Nov/Dec Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Magazine.
