Suzi Blue as I Bought Her


Studied Craigslist a while and came across her a few years ago:  11 years old and just about 3000 miles on the odo, impeccably (almost disturbingly) clean and well-maintained.  Only additions/modifications I could find: Handlebars raised about an inch, footpegs lowered and set back about an inch, Suzuki gel saddle and Suzuki luggage rack, wiring installed to allow battery charging without seat and side-panel removal.  All good.  Only drawback I could find: old-style paper base-gasket, a known weak point.  Not good, but it got me a couple hundred $$ off the already reasonable asking price. (More on this later.)
