Suzuki SV description

Like new, low-mileage 1997 Suzuki TL1000S

I am the original and only owner from new. The bike has not been ridden very much, but regularly, on the proverbial sunny Sundays.
Always kept in a heated garage. Never raced, wheelied or otherwise abused. Never crashed or even dropped.

Only 10,500 kms (6,200 miles).
Engine has never been worked on, other than oil (synthetic) and filter changes by the dealer.

Completely original - except that the bars were replaced with Heli-bars (a little higher and closer, but using the original cables, and the original handlebars are included, so you can replace them if you want it 100% stock . . . my middle-aged back and wrists preferred these). The tires were replaced due to age and have less than 1,000 kms on them. The battery was replaced a year or so ago. As the pictures show, both the original passenger saddle and the solo-saddle back cowl are included.

The pictures give you a very accurate understanding of the bike's condition. The bodywork is perfect and the paint is close to perfect, with a very few surface scratches here and there due to tank bag, etc. The seats are perfect (I mostly rode using a Corbin aftermarket seat, which is available separately if the buyer is interested), so the original has not even been sat on much.

The bike starts immediately and
runs perfectly. The fuel injection (after the factory re-mapping after the first month the bike was released) seems spot-on, no stumbling or flat spots, just smooth, easy-to-access power. The motor is delightful -- lots of big-twin grunt down low, building to a smooth high-end power peak. The bike is not a brand-new 150hp supersport bike, but it always had more power than I could use on the road. The brakes are perfect, and work as new. No oil leaks, or any issues of any kind. The bike comes with an Ontario safety certification.

The bike is located in downtown Toronto. I'm happy to deliver it in the GTA in return for a ride back to a subway stop. Full cash payment required on close of sale.

Please check my feedback -- I have been a very long-time eBayer with a perfect track record.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.

Why I love BSB's Showdown

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

It has lovers, haters and even many that still don't understand it but everyone in British bike racing is currently talking about the BSB Showdown.  With my rider's or team manager's hat on, I wasn't convinced when it was first announced in 2010 but I'm now totally converted and enjoy every part of the season as intensity increases.  And being a value for money Scot the best thing is you get four championships under one umbrella.  Championship # 1; In the early rounds everyone on the grid has aspirations of taking the title but as the season progresses, the focus narrows down to making sure you secure that top six showdown spot over the first nineteen races (riders can also drop their worst two results).  Championship #2; For the confident front runners, over these races, the real goal is the podium credit championship (3 for 1st ,2 for 2nd,1 for 3rd) which then gives them a points head start after things are put back to zero for the final seven race shoot-out.  Championship #3; The best of the rest championship (7th and below) that will be battled over the final races. Championship # 4;  Over the final seven races the British Superbike Champion is crowned. The recent adding and reshuffling a few top name riders for the Showdown has already spiced things up so hold on tight for the remaining five races!

Suzuki Requests Invite to Official 2013 MotoGP Tests

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

When Suzuki pulled out of MotoGP racing a year ago, the manufacturer said it hoped to return by the 2014 season. In the time since suspending its MotoGP program, Suzuki has been showing signs it is on track for a 2014 return. Work on Suzuki’s 1000cc MotoGP project is apparently proceeding as planned, with the manufacturer reportedly ready to join official testing during the upcoming season.
