Quist Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Bought this Slingshot last weekend from first Dutch owner who had it from 1994. Is is a Japanese (JDM) bike but I didn't knew the existence of this colour scheme (the red stripes and blue wheels aren't stock, the rest is). Because I'm keeping the bike to restore I love to hear some info about it. I already googled a few evenings in English and Japanese but couldn't find much about it. Year: 1988 Stickers: Hyper Endurancer (instead of Hypersport) Engine nr: -0000650 (is this an very early one? Or does Suzuki not count from 1 ?) What I already found or know: - I don't think it's gold or something just like the bike to restore. - it is stock - theres a gsxr 400 1988 in the same colour scheme - saw on another forum and heard from someone ''jubi Japan model, only 300 were made'' Pic of the bike. Pic found on the interwebz of another one. Pic of the 88 gsxr 400 in the same colour. Edited February 10, 2016 by Quist Quote
Oilyspanner Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 There was a 1988 1100 in the same colours too, have seen more in Australia than over here. I'm not sure what they're celebrating - did they win the Suzuka 8 hr ? It was only the colours that were different, no extra bits that I could tell. I hadn't seen a 750 in that livery before, so a Japanese market thing I guess. Quote
ianl1201 Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) ^^^that's a lovely bike that is....oh....hang on! Yep, as far as I know, it was a Japan only paintscheme. Mine's an import with a kmph speedo. I bought it on impulse 10 years ago as I'd had a slabby in the same colours (C694 LMB where are you now?) Edited February 14, 2016 by ianl1201 spelling retard!
