Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Yes, gsxr of some flavour

GLWS!

Nice isn't it. I follow the guy on Instagram but can't for the life of me find his profile now.

Had a look about and it looks like a Suzuki GSXR 1100 H frame - from 1987. Could be a 750 perhaps.

Tnx!

A pal with a lot of real estate has just offered me long term storage so maybe I park it for a year or so. Will either increase in value, or not. But either way it will still start.

GSXR 1100 H If you find him let me know the username I'd love to see some other photos.

@TGR Slabside fairing right?

I can't be sure and my memory is too hazy. I don't remember the three vents but I found this. Looks like the vents may have been added - endurance race mod perhaps?

Found him. If he's not on your radar, haxchmoto on Insta is also worth a look.

GLWS they are fun skinny things.

What. One of the greatest bikes eva and you can't identify it ;)

I’m glad I have no need for a road bike at the moment. Barely even putting miles on the dirt bike recently.

Baby little 400 always look fun.

Love a jdm 250/400.

There were quite a few shit ones, basically putting a 400 in a 600 chassis like the Ducati monster, 400 diversion etc. The best thing is that engine tuning is pointless as they are so tuned to hit the jdm 400 bhp limit.

Skinny bikes like the srx, Suzuki goose and honda bros made riding in London fun

Can't beat a two stroke scooter for around town imo, manual of course.

Very much like the look of that gxsr posted above. The seat fairing is lovely

Two strokes pass ulez emissions

Oh Legit? That's wack with the amount of visible smoke they pump out. Some really cool tuning bits and bobs available for them these days so you'd be able to build up a right little ripper

I find that hard to fathom, surely they pump out more nasties than a town car!

ULEZ primarily about nitrogen oxide emissions which are lower in 2-strokes.

Should never have sold that fragrant KH400.

Ulez is about NOx emissions.

@jambon thanks! I got a couple more photos from him on Facebook. Here is the bike pre and post crash.

@TGR 1986

I'd love to pick up a cheap one as a project.

Looks great fun, especially post-crash. Seems like a ruinous exercise though, who would sink thousands into an ancient sports bike... 🙄.

Wash your mouth out ;)

Happened to a friend too ; ).

I know a guy

Thanks, also to @rw101

No need to thank, but thank you.

My personal believe is that there are so few 2 strokes on the road and that they the pollution is neglible. Think there are more two stroke off road bikes and chains saws.
