I had a standard GN for a few years, it was a decent little commuter bike - not mega fast but handled really well so you could ride it flat out anywhere. Very reliable but you need to keep an eye on the oil as they like to drink it - not a problem, just a GN thing.

Post by: johnr on June 02, 2016, 05:35:56 PM: thats nice, i like the way its been done and the price is great. i think that the use of suzuki parts from another model suit it better than using random custom parts (gs125 tank and panels) the slightly angular katana-esque styling of tank and panels appeal to the katana fetishist in me and make me wonder what it would look like in silver with a rectangular headlight....

From a distance as a thumbnail photo it looked a little like the Ducati 500 parallel twin, which is no bad thing.
