possible new addition

[Iggster]

Well an opportunity has come my way and was wondering what you all thought. I have a chance to bring home on sunday a big sister for the xs400. On sunday I go and take a look at a 1991 Suzuki vx800. She only has 8000 miles on her and just had the carbs rebuilt and synced, fork seals done, new battery , brakes and tires. What do you all think?

Wll just got done chatting with the gentleman and everything is a go so in about 48 hours there will be two bikes in the garage!

Looks sharp, too bad its BlueSuki

After doing a ton of research I have found out that this is a fairly uncommon bike. Not many produced and only a 3 yr run with them. They are very well known for their torque through a very long powerband. Yet they are not overpowering as to get a novice rider (such as me) in trouble.

Just to clarify they had a big following overseas but bot here in the states as the naked bike style hadn't really caught on yet.

Nice. Will you be selling your 400?
I have a brother-in-law in Whitewater who needs to take up riding again

Not sure what I am going to do with the 400 yet. Am contemplating complete restoration vs just the clean up i did. She has a special place in my heart.
