1983 Suzuki RM

JSIPK 11A8B-21005

Clear

I was told by a SUZUKI Dealer that this is the Very Latest & Very Most Advanced SUZUKI PE 400 that was Sold here in the USA !!!!! I think This STUNNING , VERY SPIRITED & GOOD RUNNING Bike is a DREAM ! These PE 400 bikes are FAR MORE FORGIVING & Less Explosive to Ride as compared to a RM 400 as they have a little more Torque & are Far More Controllable for the Typical Dirt Racer....* * PLEASE NOTE: this PE 400 (a PE is ~like an RM W/Lights SUZUKI Is I think this is "The VERY last year of the FAR Simpler & FAR More RELIABLE & DURABLE Vintage RACE-ABLE Air Cooled Two Stroke Engines & I believe this is the First YEAR of the Vintage Raceable DUAL SHOCK HEAT TREATED "ALLOY" REAR SWING ARM SUSPENSION SYSTEM" this makes this PE 400 FAR MORE like a RM 400 than earlier PE 400's & Best of all these are designed for Day Or Night Off Road ENDURO's Etc etc Dirt Racing...I have sold several of these SUZUKI PE's and YAMAHA IT's to people that make them into a more Street " Bobber " (Cafe Racer) Bike .. (3 went to just Miami Florida ! this year) I also have a Head Light & a Tail Light assemblies for her, & She has a Just Rebuilt Spark Arrestor Muffler, I also have a SPEEDOMETER that I can give you & also Her PE 400 SIX DAY TRAILS CHRONOMETER / Fractional Mile indicator for WORLD CLASS "INTERNATIONAL SIX DAY TRAILS" Dirt RACING & Dirt ENDURO RACING & this could also be Used for Vintage Moto-Cross RACING ... She is a Fairly LOW HOUR Bike that was owned by an older gentleman & she sat in Covered Storage for the Majority of her Life..(Again, his was owned by an older Gentleman who owned this for many years & this has always been a "Southern California Bike" as she has been here in CALIFORNIA to the best of my knowledge the Bulk of her Life !!! & Best of all She STARTS SUPER EASY & just as she sits She RUNS Overall Pretty GOOD ( I think the New "FLAT SLIDE" carb may be jetted a little lean at idle ) & More Importantly she appears that she was used Very Little in Her lifetime (Look at Her Original 1983 Seat Which still looks Great !!!!) & more recently has had a Significant Engine Restoration with many changed out & Upgraded Engine parts a Also a BRAND NEW ENGINE Top End (IE) BRAND NEW Engine's Factory SUZUKI Crank Shaft Seals, Factory SUZUKI Piston & Rings, Cylinder Base Gasket & Head Gasket, Brand New High Performance Flat Slide Carb, many components of her Ignition parts were also changed out etc, etc etc s !!!! She is Currently Registered here in Southern California & I have the State of CALIFORNIA TITLE & she was currently on Non Operation status with the Sate of California DMV..This is a Easy Starting bike & She has always Started Right Up & Runs pretty good (Again, as mentioned above etc ...I think she could use some fine tuning with the new carb. as I think she may be running a little lean at idle )..She does Start Easy+Runs fairly Good but someone may need to work out the final carburetor etc. adjustments as I think she may be a little lean at idle? & may need a Sl. Larger approx. $2 idle jet.)..Her TRANSMISSION" + Clutch & Brakes etc. ALL Work GREAT!!!! Again ,The Original Owner just installed a NEW SUZUKI Piston+Rings etc, & installed a NEW "Flat Slide" High Performance Carb. The Bike Starts+Runs Pretty good but will need someone to"dial in"the new Racing Flat slide Carb.ETC. (that I know absolutely nothing about??) Again, She does start Easy+Runs fairly good but someone will need to work out the final carburetor etc adjustments as Again, I think she may be a little lean at idle? So my price is well under what a bike with this much Upgrading & Rebuilding should typically sell for. I also have a box of Spare parts that would be worth about $500.00 that I will make a good deal on for the New Owner of this Wonderful Bike..(Brand New Next size Factory Suzuki piston & rings, & many ignition parts (Ignition CD Ignitor, Coils & several other packages & boxes The Bikes ORIGINAL PE 400 Carburetor etc etc ) a Big Box full of extra parts that the Original Owner had stashed away for future years for this AMAZING Bike) PLEASE NOTE: I paid extra a lot extra for these spare items, Therefore, These items are Not included with the bike However, If the new owner would like these Spare Items will be including these items with the bike for just 175 US Dollars extra. ....PLEASE NOTE: YES ! ..I have the "Signed off" CALIFORNIA TITLE !

Blue Book "Value Guide" for a Vintage 1983 SUZUKI PE 400 or RM ..Also, Keep in mind.This is a "California" Motorcycle which for Most any Classic Vehicle etc etc typically Brings considerably More money than bikes from other parts of the country & makes Her More Collectible...Also,This is the Very Last Year that SUZUKI Provided these AMAZING Air Cooled PE 400 SUZUKI's !!! & I believe these PE 400 & RMs to be ..a Very Spirited & I think should be a "A Potentially, Truly Competitive Vintage Racing bike" & I am offering this for a Fraction of that amount with a "Buy it Now" (Believe it or Not)...of well under 2K US dollars which may sound like a fair amount of money but consider this...." Everyone I have talked to as (Well as N.A.D.A. Value Guide) states that a Really Nice RM or PE 400 would sell for ..Also, Recently, I have seen several of these bikes that were Very Beat & Very Faded Not much left of them & (totally UN restored & without their engines being rebuilt like with this AMAZING Beauty has just had done to her) selling for MORE $$$$ than my Ridiculously Low Buy It Now Price" & Again, This Bike has had Her Engine Extensively Rebuilt & the other bikes again they were ALL UN (NOT) Beautifully Cosmetically Restored, & NOT having their engines Rebuilt & looked to be fairly (VERY) Beat, Raw, UN-Cosmetically restored or Rebuilt etc..& More importantly all were UN-(NOT) Beautifully transformed to look like as Nice & did not Run As GREAT as this Beauty! & don't forget this Wonderful bike was in covered Storage for the better part (the Bulk) of it's life (Approx. 20+ years !!!!!!) & you will be the First New Owner since her Wonderful cosmetic restoration as detailed in this auction. Again..These Beautiful 1983 SUZUKI PE 400s Should Prove to be a very Nice & Very Competitive Vintage Racer ! Compared to many Earlier Vintage Race Bikes the Front & Rear Suspension Travel (with Easily Tune-able Vastly Superior Air/Oil tune-able Front Forks + Longer Travel Dual Rear upgraded Shock Struts) & I have been told these had even MORE Use-able Horsepower than earlier year PE 400's ! ! ! I believe her Vintage Race-able Super Simple & relatively Easy to Work On "Air Cooled" + "Two Stroke" Racing engine & Dual Rear Shock HEAT TREATED "ALLOY" SWING ARM Suspension & Air/Oil Forks Makes this Beauty a Vintage Dirt Racing Winner ! *Again, This AMAZING Great Running Bike is a Dream with her AMAZING Balance & She Feels Very Nimble , SUZUKI's Are Famous for their GREAT TURNING ability & are Light weight , & Handle very Natural & feel Extremely AGILE ..I feel ..Most Enthusiasts agree these SUZUKI PE 400's & RM's are a " WORLD CLASS" VINTAGE Dirt Racing Motorcycle ! This Vintage Racing 1983 SUZUKI PE 400 has her Original SUZUKI Tuned Exhaust & her Vintage Spark Arrestor Muffler . & She Looks to have Her Original Factory SUZUKI PE 400 upholstered seat. We also Cleaned the Entire Fuel system & added a Quality Inline Fuel Filter & her Original Owner added a Brand New Air Cleaner Element, Repacked & Restored Her Spark Arrestor & "We Installed The VERY BEST "MODAL" Trans Mission Oil". The Front and rear suspension visually looked good & it's Suspension seals did not appear to be leaking at this time so other than to clean them & refinished the lower Alloy fork legs etc etc (IE) as far as fluid levels etc. they are just as we received them and we have not tested the suspension as we are just now getting the Bike Running again & completing the cosmetic restoration on this Beautiful Bike, Over and Beyond this...In Her Cosmetic Restoration process..We removed most every main component on the bike...nearly all the way down to her "Bare Engine/Frame" + Cleaned & refinished most every main component then hand reassembled ~every main item back onto her frame again "Piece by Piece".. She has I believe her Original Vintage SUZUKI Fuel tank that was extremely clean inside (as You should be able to see in the included pictures) we repainted her & added Brand New SUZUKI Graphic were just installed. We also cleaned, painted & refinished the; Frame, Hubs, Spokes, Exhaust Pipe (Tuned Exhaust system) & Her Spark Arrestor Muffler & Headlight etc& we repainted her Nice Front fender & her rear fender etc.& we painted everything to match to a look very close to what I think a new one of these PE 400's & RM's would have looked NEW like back in 1983. We installed Brand New High Quality Vintage style rubber handlebar Hand Grips. Her Transmission Gears Shift GREAT Her Clutch Releases & Grips GREAT just coming out of Dry Storage Important thing is the Clutch does Grip GREAT & the more she runs the better it should work. She has BRAND NEW Gear Box OIL "MODOL" which is said to be the Very Best Gear oil you can get) She has her Original Fork Tube Rubbers which I think look & Feel almost like Brand New looking Rubber Fork Tube Boots, She has almost "BRAND NEW" looking Vintage style MX Racing handlebars. Unlike most race bikes this also has a side stand, That can be easily & Quickly removed (with one bolt) if you would like to..Also, you can lift the bike on a Race Bike Stand & also I believe, she has updated clutch & front brake levers have also been updated along the way. Like Her Original PE 400 seat cover etc ...The Shifter , Clutch, Brakes, kick Starter Levers All seems to work GREAT & do not appear to have any noticeable wear & or damage to them : PLEASE NOTE: We are just completing her Brand New cosmetic Restoration (as detailed above etc)...& "YOU" can be the Very First Owner of this Beautiful Bike since this was completed !

If you live inside California & If you race Vintage Bike Meets on Private Moto-Cross Tracks or (Vintage Bike Shows etc) the Notarized Calif. DMV "Bill of Sale" is all you will need. If for some reason ..Her calif Green sticker I think may have just rolled off..you want to go cow trail ridding on California etc Government National Forest Land etc land & feel you a may want a National Forest etc DMV "Green Sticker" My Vehicle Registration Office said that because this bike had been in covered storage for many years the bike I believe is currently on No Op Status by the Original Owner as he had stored the bike for years.. therefore if you live here in California & feel for some reason you want or feel you need a California Forestry Land Green sticker (to ride in Government Forest etc land) Again it will be Easy because the original owner stated he placed this on Non Op this bike is currently on Non Op DMV Computer status & therefore there should be NO back fees etc..) and Again, this California National Forest sticker is not required for MX & Other Race Tracks and also NOT required for Vintage Shows etc etc etc here in California & a California Nat.

I would try & get several (many) shipping quotes (& get a estimated pick up date in writing) before you commit or finalize a deal & or make a deposit) with a shipper... as one of the last bikes I sold out of our collection went to North Carolina via USHIP.COM, (which is about 3,000 miles from here)...it was a 1975 YAMAHA 400 Enduro which weights nearly about double of what this auctions Magnificent 1983 PE 400 Suzuki Vintage Racing Beauty Weights & he was only charged about 330 US dollars a few months ago...I think ebay may have a shipping site, but if you want a very competitive rate I would go thru Uship.com & get "Lots of Bids"...Keep in mind, I live Very Close to the Business Hub of Los Angeles & Also the L.A. Harbor areas & Millions of Trucks leave this area every day all you need to do is find a truck that has a little space & that is headed in your direction & I am sure the price would be a lot better for you than with some trucker that is not ! Again, If you need a shipper I would get "Lots of Quotes" (I have always had Great Luck with USHIP.COM & plan on "the rates will vary widely" (IE) as a trucker that is already here in Los Angeles Area & is already planning on going your direction will be a lot different rate than someone that is not already here & is not going in your direction...Also, please remind the trucking Co. you are getting the quote from that ..."This bike is a small nimble + very simple dirt bike & ONLY weights about 220 Pounds" (It is NOT a "HUGE" 700 pound Harley etc) So the Shipping rate should be FAR Cheaper & Should definitely reflect that difference.Also, If it will get you a better Shipping Rate Also, I will deliver this bike to any Los Angeles Area Based Shippers Distribution yard for "FREE" & or if you live out of the Country I will deliver this Bike to any Los Angeles Based International Shipper yard in the Los Angles Area for FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Bidding ....
