eBay 'specials' and other junk finds

A place to bang on about subjects close to your heart that affect us all as 400cc riders. general banter is rife, however rudeness and abuse seem to be the norm, If a bit wet round the ears best go play elsewhere. Auto pruning of items 31 days and older

artwork aside i forgot just how f-ugly those SRADS are, they even make the NC30 tyga tail look short.
and any bike with a "stubby" can fitted just makes me cringe - i bet that is loud and not even sounding good just bloody loud.
bet his neighbours love him

second that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if it was the bike I wanted that would be a deal breaker for me right up there with anodised levers, screen bolts and clear lexus style rear lights....

I cant see the point in spending all that time and cash on a SRAD or have I missed something??

Just seen at the end of the title it does say "WHY" lol im asking myself the same questions..

Never seen the appeal of the srad suzuki myself I have ridden a mates late injection 750 and it's rapid but the riding position felt like I was draped over a camel.
Without doubt there's been a bit of work done on the paintwork to the owners taste maybe better in the flesh but the pictures make it look like it's been on on fire or a 70s tye dye teeshirt yuk...
