    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • 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.

Dude... You have a problem... LOL

Amazing work. Just stunning. I am just curious, from auction to delivery, what does something like that cost?

Thanks.
After 6 years of waiting, and all of the previous years of neglect and abuse, it deserves a fresh start.

Yes it is the first generation V-twin stroker VJ21...88/89 Japanese market. The second generation was VJ22 which had the first USD forks and banana swingarm 90/95
Then the VJ23 which only was in production for 7 months in 1996....then that was it for Suzuki two stroke street bikes forever.

Cost....something I try not to think about.
Brokers...Shippers...
...getting bike from seller to my buyer, then buyer boxing and sending to shipping port, then transport company trucks the box to storage facility through the broker...after customs inspection.... Then I get the call to come get it in 3 days or I start to pay for storage...$$$$.
More or less a couple thousand $$$$

But I prefer to kind of find the bike myself and buy it in this way. The bikes I have bought had not gone through some company that (fixes/cleans up) the bikes before sale for profit.
I rather buy bikes that have not been touched by anyone....I want to be the first one to split the cases, and restore the proper way...
 
I had the pleasure of driving a stock Canadian RD/RVZ500? way back. I'm driving it like a 4-stroke when all of a sudden it gets on the pipe. OMG! It was like ya hit the nitrous button. First bike to scare me. Your bikes are beautiful as is your collection. Most of us on this forum including myself have the same addiction, no disrespect but I hope you never get cured.
 
Doesn't sound like it is as expensive as I was thinking it was. But still more than I can afford, lol. Really cool bikes though. I like the rare and unusual, as long as they are good looking bikes to begin with. I can appreciate a 1916 Harley Davidson for what it is, but it's not the most attractive bike, and I don't really want one.

Thanks :encouragement:
No disrespect...I am well aware of my uncontrollable need for more motorcycle projects....
Temporary cure is another bike....or at least parts for the current project :p

Rare bikes are cool, but sometimes so rare that no one knows what they really are.... and getting the right parts can be a complete pain in the ass more often than not.
All part of the torture I have found addicting....
