When it comes to 70s Japanese trials bikes, the Yamaha TY250 was much more popular than Suzuki’s competitor, which makes this collection of Exactas a pleasantly surprising find.

View Post$20k Resto – 1993 Suzuki GSX-R 750
In the US, 1993 was the first year of the water-cooled GSX-R 750 (though other markets got water cooling the year before). Despite that, I wouldn’t say it’s a particularly collectible year for the brand – but that didn’t stop the seller of this bike from throwing down some serious money on a restoration. Now it’s up to you to …
1991 Suzuki GSF400
Americans typically think of the Bandit as a 600 or 1,200, but Suzuki also made them in 250 and 400 variants – the latter of which was exported to the US for only a couple of years. The 400 was introduced in 1989, by ’91 it had optional variable valve timing and a “Limited” version came with different cosmetics and …
Late 80s Japanese Sportbikes
Someone’s got 4 classic Japanese sportbikes for sale, all of which were just imported from Japan. All have titles but registering them will really depend on where you live. We’ve got two Honda NSR250s (MC18), a Suzuki RGV250 (VJ21), and a Honda VFR400 (NC30).
1974 Suzuki TS400
Back in the day, Suzuki offered TC (trail), TM (motocross), TF (farm), and TS (dual-sport) machines. Here’s the biggest option of the TS line, which was built from ’71 to ’79.

It’s not the most PC of terms, but this bike is known as the “Triple Cripple” – named after the fact that it’s a Gixxer 600 that’s been converted into a 450cc triple!
1975 Suzuki RE5
Suzuki called the RE5 the future of motorcycling, thanks to its innovative rotary engine and distinctive styling. This is the ’75 model, which had more interesting design characteristics like the ‘tin can’ instrument cluster. The ’76 (and final model) was a little neutered in an attempt to make the bike more conventional.
1967 VW Beetle Trike
From the factory, a ’67 VW Beetle produced 53 horsepower. Thanks to an interesting reverse trike conversion with the powertrain from a 1,100cc Suzuki Katana, this Beetle now produced 136 ponies!
Baby Gixxer – 1987 Suzuki GSX-R 50
The GSX-R 50 was Suzuki’s take on the street-legal minibike movement of the 80s. The Yamaha YSR50 and Honda NSR50 are the more common options, I love the ‘little engine that could’ feel of the Suzuki GSX-R 50 – especially this paint scheme which almost exactly matched what you’d get on the Gixxer 1100.

0 Miles – 2006 Suzuki Hayabusa
Also known as the GSX1300R, the Hayabusa was an instant legend when it was introduced in 1999 thanks to a top speed between 188-194 miles per hour. That made it the fastest production motorcycle in the world, and thanks to a gentleman’s agreement among manufacturers to keep top speeds under 186mph in 2000, it held that title until 2007 when …
