Suzuki Other description

1983 Suzuki XN85 Turbo
Number 102 out of 1,153 ever built.
300 of them came to the US, out of those only 150 of them were sold, and the rest were sent back to Japan. So there are less than 150 of them left in the states.

This is a one owner 100% original bike. It still has the Original title, Registration papers, and License Plate from 1983-84!

Bike recently went through a full service and tuneup to get back on the road. 
Here is a list of some of the things that were done:
Drill Screw M/C Bleed Flush System

Remove/Replace Injectors/Manifold
Research Pump/Filter Retrofit

Master Cylinder Screws
10/40 Oil Semi Synthetic
Reostat Fuel Gauge
New Fuel Pump
New High Pressure Filter
Low Pressure Fuel Hose 2ft
High Pressure Fuel Hose 2ft

Might be some more that I forgot to list. Bike runs and rides great, and the motor is extremely strong, and does not smoke at all. There is a slight hesitation is you crack the throttle, but if you are smooth it revs very nicely. I couldn't ride it as fast as I wanted on the old tires though, and I didnt want to push too hard on a motor thats been sitting for over 30 years. Everything on the bike works as it should except for a couple things on the dash. The fuel gauge doesnt move, but can be adjusted to read whatever you like. Also the engine temperature gauge doesnt seem to move.

The cosmetics on the bike are 9.5+ out of 10 in my opinion, but you can see for yourself in the photos. NONE of the photos are edited or enhanced in anyway! Seat is in excellent shape with zero tears or rips. There are some VERY light scratches and tiny paint chips on the bike, that I tried to show in the photos, they aren't noticeable unless you are looking for them. Bike comes with the Original tool kit in its original bag, however the little metal button on the bag is missing. The only eyesore on the bike IMO is the plastic on the mirrors.

The bike is a time capsule, and if you need anymore photos of the bike just ask. It wont let me upload more than 24 of them. You can also text/call or message me on here if you have any other questions.

Here is your chance to own the RAREST of the Japanese Turbos that "Motorcyclist" magazine proclaimed the best handling bike they had tested to date.

Bike is sold AS-IS with no warranty or claims of any kind. This is a 30+ year old motorcycle, and you are responsible for having the bike inspected before purchase and or riding the bike. I require a $500 deposit within 24 hours of auction ending. Buyer is responsible for all shipping fee's, I will do my best to assist any way I can.

Here is a walk around video of the bike.

Suzuki GSX-R History [video]

Fri, 15 Apr 2011

Suzuki kicked off the modern era of sportbikes when it introduced its lightweight and aluminum-framed GSX-R750 in 1985, and the Gixxer series of 600s, 750s, 1000s and 1100s have delivered unparalleled success in terms of racetrack and sales domination. Over the past 25 years, Suzuki’s GSX-Rs have been the dominant force in America road racing, earning an incredible 33 AMA championships. In addition to 11 Superbike titles carded by Mat Mladin and Ben Spies, Gixxers have also logged a combined 15 Supersport titles in 600cc and 750cc classes.

Nissin ABS Modulator Recall Explained in NHTSA Documents

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Earlier this month, we published news about an issue with certain Nissin anti-lock brake system modulators that have been connected to recalls in Canada and Japan from Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki, with the possibility of it expanding to further models and manufacturers using the same component. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has now released documents from American Honda’s recall of ABS-equipped CTX700 and CTX700N that shed some more light into the issue. According to the documentation, a manufacturing error may have resulted in Nissin ABS modulators being contaminated with aluminum chips.

Are Motorcycles Safer With Antilock Brakes?

Tue, 30 Dec 2008

A new report says riders with ABS-equipped bikes can dramatically reduce the chance of a fatal accident. The study compared fatality rates among riders on bikes that have antilock brakes, and it found that death rates were 38% lower on motorcycles equipped with the optional ABS systems compared to non-ABS bikes. In 2005-2006, the fatal crashes per 10,000 registered motorcycles without antilock brakes was 6.6.
