:?:

So a custom paint job, with some kind of custom headlight and taillight, qualifies as an official "limited edition" that never existed??

Not to mention those look like gsxr 1000 forks (black sliders).....Prolly a crash & rebuild :lol:

Potentially a Mladin replica, however that's purely a paintjob.

Never down huh? I know bikes don't just go missing the clutch lever tip & bar end. FAIL!

*and the rear blinker is "characterized"

Someone will probably buy it too :lol:

The real GSXR "Limited Edition" was a 1986 GSXR 750 with dry clutch, close-ratio trans, and magnesium engine covers: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~karl/index_LE.htm I saw one at the dealer back then, but never saw one on the street. They are very rare.

He probably shaved them off to reduce weight for better wheelies. Though those giant blinkers probably have more drag than the Space Shuttle parachutes.

Guy down here used to ride his to bike night every weekend, back in tha day

Haven't been on the squid scene for a while,, so dunno if it's still rollin

It also game with a gold chain, electric anti-dive forks from the GSXR1100 and a solo seat, and cost more than the 1100.

Anti-dive forks, huh? How come no one uses them today?

Same reason no cars use carburetors today.
Old technology does not sell.

'Cept carburetors are obsolete because they have been improved upon. Is the same true for anti-dive forks?

Your answer is in every bike dealership in the world.;)

Can you be more specific? Are you saying that every bike sold today has better anti-dive properties than Suzuki's old anti-dive forks?

While forks are much better than they were 20 years ago, I'm not prepared to say that they couldn't benefit from an electronic anti-dive system.

i don't think that's a custom paint job. i think it's one of those cheap pre-painted ebay body kits. and like Tye said, it clearly went down on the left side with the busted clipon bits and the same-side busted blinker.

nice try, jackass.

I actually owned one of those 1100s with the anti-dive. The system didn't work. Modern systems are substantially improved.

The antidive idea was a decent idea. Softer springs for comfort and stifness when you needed it. Too bad, it would stop working 15 feet outside of a dealer. They were pure garbage.

Todays setups with progressive springs are much better.

At the same time, I think they could easily perfect it if they wanted. Just like several cars these days have magnetic dampers that instantly adjust. Would it add another grand to the cost of the bike, sure, but it'd probably be a better use of money than all this ABS/traction control nonsense.
