non cb-1 addition

[stussels]

didnt see a section for anything not related to the cb-1 so i just thought id post this here.  brought this bike home last winter and fixed the majority of things wrong with it in my living room.  been commuting around on it since the weather has gotten better.  i must say it is a blast to bomb around the streets on this.  seems somehow illegal.  dual sports are great all around bikes new or old.  if you can, get one.

Nice! Reminds me of the Honda XL series.  Man, thats telling my age!  What year is that?

Awesome. I would need a stepladder to get on.

its very much like the honda xl's.  ive had a couple in the past.  just suzukis version.  this bike is even more of an oddball than the cb1.  only sold here for one year, 1985.  besides the color and carb, its exactly the same as the same year dr600.  very strange.  i think suzuki just wasnt sure if it was going to use the sp or dr name.  dr apparently won that debate. 

oh clark, the seat height i measured at 35".  not too bad as it sinks a bit once youre on.  i just slide off to one side to get a flat foot on the ground.  its great when rolling though, can see over cars!

LOL! i am going to say the same thing!strange to see a red Suzuki!
it's indeed the spitting image of the Honda XL,even down to the single 4valve twin port engine!
she is a beauty!
I LOVE TRAIL BIKES!
i used to have a SUZUKI RM 500 back in my motox days!
