In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.
Call me crazy but I'm actually considering this bike.

They are aesthetically hideous, and the lesser of the three big V4 muscle cruisers of that era, but I'm told they are comfortable and smooth.
Aesthetics can be fixed. I just like the power and the comfort part.
At $1400 it's really a decent deal for a bike that's not going to be found too often. Only about 5000 made world wide.
Understandable. I loved my VMax, though its range was ridiculous.

Exactly how are you going to "fix" the aesthetics of that hideous beast??
They are a bear to work on, parts are extremely hard to come by, every old Suzuki mechanic I've ever known hated them...I'm just not seeing any upside. A decent 1000-1100cc "L" model would be a far better choice IMO.
OK, you're crazy.
Hey you said call me crazy. I'm just doing as you asked.

Other than the fact they are ugly as sin, not a bad bike, but not one I would never add to my muscle bike collection. A couple big negatives, the first being parts availability. Because there were so few made, parts are impossible to find! Secondly, because Honda had the patent on the 90 degree V4 engine, Suzuki had to put theirs at 86 degrees, which really threw off the internal engine balance horribly! They tried to mask it with rubber motor mounts, but I have ridden a few over the years, and there was a TERRIBLE handlebar buzz right around 3500 RPM! That would drive me nuts! I have seen these relatively cheap over the years, actually had several chances to get them for less than 500 bucks and passed on them. Just not one of the original 80's muscle bikes that does anything for me. Now, that being said, if I find a LOW mileage example for next to nothing, I might get one, just to say I have the entire 80's lineup of muscle bikes, but I wouldn't ride it much!!!!

Exactly ...
Where did you get a picture of my Ex-Wife?
