Vehicle Detail
I've always loved the big-bore Suzukis of the 80's era...they were true MUSCLEBIKES like the MUSCLE cars I used to own in the late 60's/early70's...That TSCC(Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber) design (16 valve) was light years ahead of the competition at the time...the 1100 Suzi's were voted the best sportbike of the year 3-4 yrs. in a row! Probably the most potent of ALL air-cooled inline 4 cyl. engines EVER built was the Suz. 1150 (which is STILL on dragstrips today!) Problem is ,I thought the 1150 BIKE itself was a little UGLY + dumb lookin' STYLING wise...my solution..? put a 1150 engine in a beautifully styled earlier 1100E chassis!!,.clean lines + streamlined bodywork/SWEET! So,here we have it..a 1 of a kind big bore Suzuki HOT-ROD!! This POTENT 1150 motor is bored out to 1260cc,ported/polished,drop-in cams,beefed-up crank, V+Hines sidewinder header,DYNA 2000 ignition system,PM ultra-lite wheels,with wider rims for better/ more modern tires,and MUCH more...Just the wheels (being so light) make a BIG difference in handling,acceleration + stopping distance..MUCH less rotating MASS means BETTER performance! in every way...the wheels ALONE are worth 800 bucks(if you can find them anymore!)engine has @4-5K into it....DYNA 2000 worth @ 500 etc. so U can see theres TONS of $$'s in this machine...NOT to mention the TONS of LABOR to get it PERFECT! The pictures I'm listing now show the bike as it was a few months ago, AWESOME but NOT very STREETABLE(comfortable!) so I recently modified bike to be more street-friendly with shocks in back(instead of STRUTS!) front forks beefed up + too many mods to list...This is definitely a STREET or STRIP bike + can be easily changed to go either way... bike should do low 9's in RACE trim...or just ride it on the street + have a BLAST! any ??'s email me or call (215)901-1410 P,S. I'll be adding more recent pics. of bike with shocks soon Thanks Mike. BTW,bike has 5K ORIGINAL miles/engine has 1500 miles...Adios! I forgot to mention...Carbs. are 38mm FLAT-SIDE MIKUNI'S with brand new air cleaner pods Bike also has an original WES COOLEY special (1000S) front fairing + windscreen /hard to find!

On Jul-28-11 at 15:35:50 PDT, seller added the following information: forgot to mention: rear drive chain has been converted from old 630 chain to 530 which is a big improvement! also put brand new sprocket on front of drive chain + its lined up perfectly with rear sprocket(also new) changing from 1100 to 1150 engine necessitated minor alignment changes...mike.
