I bought it at a repo auction in alaska where it sat uncovered since 1999, confiscated for drunk driving. it was slightly rect and the seat skin was dry like plywood. i paid $175 for it, rolled it outside the gate and after 25 min "massage" rode it home, (old gasoline & crusty cables). the clutch cable held. it was very easy to ride although i caught a cold at the time and only went on 2 outings. polished the paint & did full maintenance, then sold it for $700 and basically made $400 on it.
Suzuki motors are definitely my favorite because they r built durable (unlike kawasaki) and most importantly factory spare parts are by far the cheapest among jap manufacturers (unlike kawasaki & honda). i would recommend this bike to any rider with some experience. not for lightweight beginners because it is fast and handles with noticeable inertia.
