Title: FS: '93 Suzuki VX800 - $1500
Post by: vags500 on September 21, 2009, 10:19:12 AM
Thought the naked sport bike community might be interested in this 1993 Suzuki VX800. Basically a GS with an 800 V-Twin and a shaft drive. Very cool bike.

Mods include:

Progressive shocks front and rear
Jardine exhaust
Mini turn signals
Trimmed rear fender
Custom windscreen.
Lanesplitter bar-end mirrors
LED taillight.
Corbin seat (not pictured)
Sealed maintenance-free battery.

Tires are in great shape. The paint is not perfect but still looks really good.

E-mail if interested.

That thing is BAD-ASS.  It is like a shaft-drive mini Buell! Faster, too, I bet.  Wish I could get it.....  I wonder what Honda's equivalent would be.

I'd never even heard of this bike, but yeah, looks good!  :thumb:  I ASSumed air cooled at first... but it's not?! Really odd, are the fins on the cylinders just for looks?  :cookoo:

The fins help cool.  Just a little extra cooling ability in those very hot days.  The fan only comes on when it needs to.

Man thats a cool bike. I don't even know what to compare it too. Awesome, too bad you are in the wrong Washington.

Rider magazine did a retrospective on that model in a recent issue.

Vags500- did you get that VX from a guy in Whitemarsh MD  awhile back?

I have two 1991's myself. One is my rider... the other when I get to it is getting my sidecar....

Before I tagged mine (superbike bars).  If it only had a 6th gear...
