I purchased this Pro-Street Z1R with all of the below mentioned work completed prior to my ownership. I pulled the cylinder head and verified all of the work mentioned below including the cam sizes, port work, ect Everything that was done to the top end was exactly what I was told when I purchased the bike
I did not split the cases to verify the back cut gears but I assume everything else was done to the engine based on the claims of the top end work that had been done

A rare opportunity to buy a low owner, low mileage 1978 mk1 Suzuki X7. I have owned this for approximately 7 years and am only the 4th owner. What you see here is 95% original parts. I have stripped the bike and cleaned every part. The only parts that were replaced with genuine NOS Suzuki parts were the front mudguard, indicators and rear shocks (original parts are available and in very good condition).

I imported this bike over 10 years ago. I purchased it from The Motorcycle Factory in Belgium. It has covered 89000 kms which is 55000 miles. In 2017 I Mot'd it and registered it in the UK, so it has a V5C in my name. It does not currently have an Mot, but I'm sure it would pass. Qualifies for historic vehicle status, so would not need one if the new owner decided to register it as such In all the time I have owned it I have never used it as i have other bikes, so I have decided to sell it. I ... more
