    Ay oop!
    Hi - I'm Garry - born and bred a West Yorkshire (UK) guy, now living the dream in Whitby, North Yorkshire (Dracula country)!
    I have 3 Suzuki 250's - a GSX250S GJ76A Katana (my 3rd) which is standard for now, but will be turned into a Sanctuary tribute bike at a later date - a newly acquired GSX250F GJ75A Across and a TDRGV 250 project bike (2005 RMZ Mx chassis with a VJ22 RGV250 motor) super-moto style bike.
    Here's a few pics of the bikes..................

    Thanks :thumb_ups:
    I have one of the baby Katana's bigger brothers - a GSX750S - but I have put a Suzuki GT750 engine in it as the original 750 motor was gutless.

    Pukka TDR's are worth a small fortune here in the UK. I don't think my Suzuki version will command the same price though.

    It is based on a RGV250 with an Aprilia 125 single-sided swing arm (reversed), home made front suspension, Aprilia wheels, Buell front rim disc and caliper and Mito bodywork.
