2017 WINTER SALE.......LOOK BID BUY!!!
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE PIC's & DESCRIPTION.
This 1980 Suzuki GN400T single cylinder low rider factory custom cruiser has recently been imported from North America where it has spent all its life – the air is thin and the climate is far kinder to motorcycles than ours. This and the fact it's only showing 1841 miles and has been in dry storage for the last umpteen years have helped maintain its boyish good looks.
We have been unable to confirm this mileage reading. Please disregard it.
The single most important purchase for a classic restoration project is the bike to restore, whether it's going to be a commercial venture or just a hobby interest it all starts here!.
PLEASE CHECKOUT THE PICTURES........As you can see this bike has got a few bits missing, a few bits damaged/broken, a few bits rusty/corroded & a few bits are very nice indeed.
The wheels are straight with nice clean alloy rims, good hubs, brake plate, disc, caliper & working master cylinder. Forks & yokes look straight with good chrome & clean alloy. Mudguards are both solid & are very tidy. Tail light assy is good as are the headlight & hangers. Instruments look great. Carburetor is free sliding off the twist grip. Paintwork is solid, fuel tank is usably clean inside and has just minor dents/marks & scratches in the original paint. Exhaust is original & solid. Seat base is in very good condition throughout. Chain guard is tidy as is the grab rail. Shock absorbers are damping fine. The engine is cosmetically very clean, it turns over nicely off the kick starter – sounds/feels great & has compression but doesn't seem to be sparking so we haven't had it running.
If you require any further information please give us a call or better still visit our showroom and have a good look over the bike for yourself – after all who are you going to believe me or your own eyes?
