Subscribeto Racer X

This week's collection comes from Ventura, CA's Steve Kittleson:

"Here are some pics of my post-vintage race bikes, a 1982 RM465 and 1979 RM400. What is unique about these bikes is the rear fenders, because they are made buy Stillmotor and were used on the early '80s factory Suzukis in Europe. The one on the 465 was on Eric Geboers' race bike. I grafted the one on the 400 to the front half of a stock fender as these were only "half"' fenders."

The Full Floater suspension back then was the best!! Nothing was close to Suzuki when it came to rear suspension when they had the full floater!

Its Suzukis' from this era that made me a Suzuki fan! These bikes wer made just after i was born, but they were about the models that I seen the most when i first started hanging around the local shops.

I can't tell you how GREAT that 1979 RM400 looks!!! I had a brand new one with FOX AIRSHOX on it and I felt like I had a Factory Bike! I turned Pro on it and I won my first race and my knee out in my 2nd Pro race! GO BACK TO THE OLD FORMAT!!!
