Suzuki Intruder description

This bike is ready to go! It has a Factory Pro jet kit installed and drilled-through baffles for a little bass. There's a little dent on the left of the gas tank which is visible in the picture from behind. It's just to the left of the pinstripe and about in the middle front-to-back. The color is a dark metallic blue (frame and swing arm too) with grey center section separated by red pinstripes. Very pretty! Besides the dent, the only issues are a bit of surface corrosion starting here and there (commensurate with its age, please refer to the photos which are current as of last weekend), a missing chrome cover on the right axle bolt, and a mismatched exhaust header bolt on the left side; I'd plan on a new battery next summer. Tires and brakes are good, the clutch was replaced about 3,000 miles ago (didn't need it; turned out the hydraulic clutch needed to be bled). I haven't had it inspected this year since I only put about 400 miles on it in the last two years but if you're a PA buyer I can get it done for $50 if you'd like. (I left the previous owner's Virginia inspection sticker on it to remember when I bought it: 2010. It only has a few hundred miles on it since last inspected in PA.) If you'd prefer, I can deliver it just about anywhere (with funds in hand, naturally), just figure on a round trip getting 12 mpg each way from zip code 16866. I wouldn't hesitate to ride this thing anywhere! It's been a good bike but I'm just not using it enough to justify keeping it. Please feel free to ask anything and come check it out in Philipsburg, PA if possible. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! No reserve, winning bid takes it!

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show.  On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca.  With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem.  When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season.  We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!
