1981 Suzuki GS250 Custom Scrambler

This one-of-a-kind bike started its life as a GS250T, a typical pseudo-cruiser UJM...a nice bike, but pretty boring, so it was torn down and turned into a scrambler.

The bike's got 10K miles, but there's only 130 miles on the customization. The engine is stock except for the pod air filters and shorty mufflers. It's not overly loud, but it has a nice bark and sounds great.

The parallel twin 250cc engine was pretty high tech in its day, using the TSCC technology developed for the big GS's. It makes about 26 HP and revs really nicely. It's not the fastest thing on the road, but it is a blast to ride. It has a 6-speed tranny so it can hit highway speeds.

Components (lights, handlebar, gauges, gaiters, etc.) were selected to compliment the scrambler design. The line of the gas tank and seat has been straightened to give it a classic desert sled look.

Aside from the red stripe, the gas tank is unpainted metal with urethane clear coat. It's a cool effect that can't truly be appreciated in the pics. The side covers are silver metallic with the red stripe.

This bike is in beautiful condition, fully serviced and ready to ride. All fluids have been changed, bearings cleaned and lubricated, valve clearances checked, brake caliper rebuilt, brake line replaced with a stainless steel one, new tires, etc.

The bike is available for local pickup, but if you arrange and pay for shipping I will be happy to assist.

Please ask questions if interested.

Peugeot 407 Coupe HDi 163 Review & Road Test (2010)

Tue, 03 Aug 2010

Peugeot 407 Coupe Review & Road Test When Peugeot launched the predecessor to the 407 Coupe – the 406 Coupe – back in 1997, big-ish two door coupes were rather more common than they are now. Or at least they were rather more common across the board than they now are. Yes, the ‘Premium’ makers do still churn out proper sized coupes, but the rest of the car makers have given up.

Suzuki delays U.S. launch of the Swift

Mon, 30 Aug 2010

Suzuki has delayed the relaunch of its Swift small car in the United States until next year while it works on a global product strategy with Volkswagen AG and ponders the growing strength of the yen against the dollar. The rise of Japan's currency already has forced Suzuki to slash its overall U.S. marketing budget.

Lexus IS (2013) more details of new 3-series rival

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Lexus has pulled the cloth back on the all-new Lexus IS at the 2013 Detroit motor show, and announced more details of its new hybrid 3-series rival. This will be the first hybrid Lexus IS, and UK sales will start in summer 2013.  What do we know about the new hybrid Lexus IS?  The IS300h combines an electric motor with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. The torque output is yet to be confirmed, but there's 217bhp and Lexus is aiming for a sub-100g/km CO2 output and fuel consumption of at least 65mpg. Figures like that are likely to grab the attention of fleet managers, as Lexus hopes to close the gap on rivals like the BMW 3-series, Mercedes C-class and Audi A4.  There's a non-hybrid model too, but this IS250 will be powered by a 204bhp 2.5-litre V6 petrol engine. It won't be a fleet favourite.  The IS250h has a six-speed automatic transmission, the IS300h has a CVT gearbox, and both cars are rear-wheel drive.
