Motorcycles

There were G bikes that had shaft drive in late 70s early 80s that found their own special market, but this was like a recent retro revival of those gsxxxG bikes, early 90s I think. The motor's fins reveal the oil cooled head and top cylinder Suzuki of late 80s GSXR, later found on GSF Bandit bikes when GSXR turned to water cooling. The tanny seems like a modified chain system being on the left.

This must have been Suzuki's answer to the BMW K success, if there was any, but it was BMW's last effort to maintain the moto-industry as the R bike had fizzled and caused great losses. BMW K bikes would have only dreamed to have the power characteristics of the Suzuki motor. Great era and a great cross between air cooling and water-cooling.

Sweet bike if you could learn to tolerate the gyro effect of the shaft drive and the weight. I don't know if this model sold much if any in US or may have been a gray import from a returning soldier from Euro tour.

Brakes seem very 90s too, even world class racers would have wished to have such in the 80s.

I also find it surprising clean in design for Suzuki who was notorious of designing Japanese dragons with wheels. :)
