Didt know suzuki did a 1500? Looks like a GSX1400 engine to me. Maybe its bored out.

ye looking good
iam not a biker but appreciate any thing mechanical ive been waching the series from the start and have found my self looking on ebay for cheep bikes :@)
the best one for me sofar has to be the one named the (brass cafe racer) black with polished brass fittings

It takes a lot to beat a Featherbed frame. Its a classic, and difficult to beat.

Nice job done there.

Makes me want to go make a bike!! Gotta be easier than a car.

Oh Rich, Rich, Rich ...............

I'm so glad I didn't let my bike licence lapse anyhow. Even though it costs me about $100 a year just to have it.

I'm not keen on the bike, it's not one thing or the other. He should have used a relevant frame to the engine and made a streetfighter or vice versa and made a café racer. He just has a Japanese engine in a wobbly old frame now.
