Well my new toy has kept me away from Jeeps for awhile. I picked up a '91 Suzuki GS500e a few weeks ago, and have been driving it everyday since. I drive the Jeep probably once a week now. The Zuk is a nice upgrade from the Baja 150cc scooter I was commuting to school on for awhile. That is, having a little extra power to escape situations is nice. The really nice part is spending $10 on gas, and having it last a week of commuting and still have enough to have fun(used to spend AT LEAST $40 in gas to commute on the Jeep).
Having another toy to take out when its sunny and rail the corners is fun too. :laugh:
Anyhow, here's some pics.
I bought it off a college student in Seattle for $600. So far I've put $100 into it (front fender, new battery, front sprocket, etc.) and when I'm done with getting it how I want, I shouldn't have more than $1000 into the bike total. My best guess is this thing used to be raced, as many things on the bike have been changed to suite a racer better, including safety wiring nuts/bolts that wouldn't normally need it.
I'm enjoying every minute of this bike, and am definitely happy I made the purchase. Even commuting in the rain isn't THAT bad with the right gear.
Now that I've got the bike though, I'll start dumping money into the rig to get her ready for NWFest.
