About this bike:
Suzuki Factory Marble Rakis Red color. Fully and responsibly maintained. Turn-key, nothing needed, ready to ride - you can ride it off into the sunset. Shorty levers, fender eliminator, low profile blinkers, and rear integrated tail/blinker, Delkevic exhaust sounds great. Matching factory upholstery. Mechanically 100%, clean title, full key sets, adult-owned, brand new Pirelli tires. Just spun this for a service run and it’s an absolute blast to ride! Nimble, torquey, and quick. This bike wants to run and is looking for someone who can appreciate its spirit.

Side note: Many of our bikes get "shop names" so we can tell them apart in conversation. This one has been referred to as "Private Malone's bike" since the day we picked it up. It was purchased brand new in 2006 as a high school graduation gift for a young man who was headed to basic training at the end of the summer. He loved the bike and put roughly 2,000 miles on it during those few months. After basic training, he was sent overseas and sadly never came home from the Middle East. His mother didn't want to think about it too much, so the bike sat in the back of her garage for almost 15 years (as Blue Star Parents ourselves, we can't say we don't understand, to be honest). It was important to her that this bike go to someone who could love it and bring it back to its full operating glory, which we have painstakingly done. Every system has been examined and checked, almost every seal and filter have been replaced, and it has been gone over from tip to tail with a fine-tooth comb. We don't normally get overly attached to the bikes in our garage, but this one hits a soft spot.
