Hi, just thought id introduce myself. Got me a new race bike today. Havent actually ridden it yet cos the carbs are all gummed up and lots of bolts are loose as it was someone elses project that they abandoned nearing finishing it.
Needed another race bike to keep me busy at the track so I can now race two classes. Currently racing a 89FZR1000 which is pretty serious (for an old bugger like me) with 140HP. Wanted something with a bit less power and my good mate races a Honda CB750 which I tried last time we were out and had great fun.
Not much left of the GS really except stock engine and frame. Front end is GPZ1100, rear shocks are GSX 1400, swingarm is GSX1100,wheels are 17" RGV.
See Picks. Should handle good? Don't know anything about these bikes. Only other Suzuki I owned was a Air cooled RM 250. Awesome bike.
Love working on bikes as much as riding them, maybe even more. Needed another project as the three I already own are well sorted. Got the Yam FZR1000
and a 85 Moto guzzi lemans 1000 and a Kawasaki H1 500 which ive owned for near on 30 years. Had lots of other bikes, mostly stink wheels, Always loved the stink wheels. The triple is the only one I kept.
Im good with mechanicals. Fitter/turner by trade, now a welder. Totally rebuilt both the triple and the FZR chassis and gearbox and engines and both run great. The Guzzi is a bit weird and scares me a bit (you should see the special tools list in the manual) but at least its metric.
I already have a couple of questions about the jizz engine but I will leave that for another thread. Sorry about the username (Jizracer) But ive always called my yammy FZR a Fizzer and I recon the GS Suzuki sounds like Jizzer
I do have one question for now.........See pick.....the pipe on my new bike, is this a known pipe? is it any good? My mate recons its Kiwi made.
