Upside down handle bars, worthlessly cushioned seat, tiny gas tank, loud mufflerless pipes, and questionable build quality. Oh yea. That's definitely worth $2000! Bargain even.

I'd have to say, it isn't your cookie cutter variety, actually, can't believe I'm going to say it, very creative, if it had rear suspension, maybe a candidate for a Spielberg or Lucas prop. Very movie like....not everyday practical.

I can agree with the creativity and movie prop-like design. Oh and there is a monoshock on the rear, you can see it in the first picture (red spring)

Aside from some of the bizarre details, I actually like this bike. I don't care for the headlight, and location and size/shape of the gas tank leave a lot to be desired. With a standard type headlight/gas tank and a seat with a bit more padding, I think it would look much better. I wonder if you could put a gas tank in the area where the airbox used to be. I imagine you'd have to use a fuel pump if you did. I'm not sure you could approach the capacity of a standard gas tank that way, but it would be a better place to put the weight of the gas, as opposed to above the rear wheel. I wonder how effective that ram air is.

10 likes, now 7 dislikes (including mine). Come on GSR, we can do better than that :twistedevil:

If you mean it runs rich at low speed, and lean at high speed? It is most efficient...

Most of the pieces are there, I agree. What throws my meter out the window, is the futuristic shapes, thrown over a clasic upright twin, and the SPOKED WHEELS ! :eek:

Just isn't coming together, for me... :-\\\

Yeah, your right, I see it...with a little larger fuel capacity, I could see riding this back in the hills of WV, with more seat cushion of course, also, I could see myself leaving it in the first ditch the first sign of trouble it gave me also:rolleyes: And it's not a classic GS, a DR350 is meant for abuse:p

Are those rear shocks he's using as a "springer" front end?
Click to expand...
Quite possible. It appears to be a version of a leading link suspension. The forks will come more or less straight down, and, where we have the wheel mounted on an axle, will be pivots for two arms going forward to the wheel axle. On those arms will be the lower mounts for the shocks, the upper mounts appear to be at the cross brace at the fender. Really not that bad of a setup.

It has been done on several bikes in the past, click HERE to see the Wikipedia article on front suspension. Scroll down just a bit, you will see the leading link photos.

LOWER PRICE. extra pic.

1980 Suzuki GS1000L Motorcycle Smooth Shaft drive Adult owned, always garaged, never seen rain or snow. oky, maybe a little rain, but not much.
37XXX miles

Runs good, rides good- new parts: I bought it last year and the previous owner had put on new tires ($360installed) Then, I invested: New stator ($110) New Rectifier/regulator($95) New starter($115)

Tank has a few chips/blemishes Seat has a small tear.. (Hey- its 32 years old.)

Chrome is in great shape (if thats your thing) ;) Adjustable Shocks

Enjoy 2 wheeled summer fun on this classic bulletproof Japanese motorcycle while theres time.. Its hard to find a running motorcycle for this low of a price. Do yourself a favor and research the bulletproof GS1000 engine if you like. Only reason I'm selling her ,is that I'm finally,FINALLY, after 12 yrs of waiting.. getting my Dream Bike... so, cash talks. (No trades thanks) Test rides only with cash in hand. Sorry ,I've been burned Once- and only once.

Don't miss out on this opportunity of a life time... amaze your friends.. impress that girl you've had your eye on. ;) (okay, maybe that last sentence was a little over the top.. But it is fun, and it is a good deal)

Thanks for reading. T.

Actually, it's a CX500C, the C being the equivalent of the Suzuki L models

C as in "shoper"?

Does it take me directly to the grocery store?
