Suzuki GSXXXXXET

Welcome to the auction for my GSXXXXXET special. In total, I've owned this bike for seventeen years and in it's current guise, was six years in the making with no expense spared to create truly one off motorcycle.
As have few other bikes and only one arse, have only covered XXX miles on this machine since completion of the build two years ago so, it is with great regret that must let her go so that the lucky buyer can enjoy it to it's full capacity.
The standard shock mounts have been retained so returning the bike to classic twin shock setup would be 'plug & play'.
Good luck.
