    Year & model?

    On a visit to NYC Icame across this custom Suzuki. Pretty nice I thought.

    Not a GS I don’t think. Maybe a GN?

      Can't tell. Photo doesn't show enough detail to determine what bike it is.

      The side covers are not Suzuki GS.

        Agreed although more pictures would be in order. Had a GN before getting an HD in the early 80's, that tank and those side covers aren't a match and the fork rake is a bit steep but it does look like a GN engine and trans.

          Look like a TU-X 250. 2014-16.
          I think Jedz had one or something similar.

            Ding, ding, ding. I think we have a winner. Same side panel and sprocket cover. May be difficult to pinpoint the exact year.

                Probably a disc brake security lock.

                  Yes, it’s a disc lock.

                    Often a source of much hilarity if forgotten about.

                        I guess a modern day upgrade for my old lock and chain.
