Another iconic paintscheme, I think I have an Urban Tiger sticker from the Honda stand at the '94(?) bike show, if I can find it, you can have it.

Shes a minter for sure, I looked at a few of these back in 2014, did hundreds of miles across the country, even drove from home to Liverpool and then to Slough to look at 2 on the same day but every one I saw was hanging/damaged which didnt show up on pictures unfortunately but that's the luck of the draw sometimes. Id be doing the same with it.

Any wider and you'd have to pay to get back in.

Nice bike, enjoy. This is on my bucket list of bikes to own, had a short go in one before, found it comfy and blisteringly fast smile

Interested to see what Suzuki will do with it next.

Haha, if that mate, its too much to be honest, I don't want a 190mph bike, I really only got it to move on, it was a cracking deal smile

Just a bit but worth it! Thanks, it’s going to be repainted over winter in grey/orange so will change a lot. I’ll keep those fairings and tank as well though smile
