Suzuki VX-800

Yeehaw! I just put a deposit on a nice looking and running older ('92) and high mileage (50k) VX-800. I know, it's a lot of miles, but from what I read up on it before I pulled the trigger, they are long lived, up to 100k+ or so, and it looks in very good shape. The price was right ($950) and the bike is beautiful. I can't wait to get a windshield on it and start riding it daily.

Oh and yeah, another downside is that it's a little known and therefore little supported bike. The engine Suzuki borrowed from the 750 Interceptor, and stroked it out a bit, I think. Funny to go from a little supported bike like the GZ, to an even more poorly supported bike.

Keeping the GZ, of course. I still love the bike, and some day my wife will take some lessons and maybe start riding too.
