MARTIN SUZUKI 1000 GS 1984 Type: Martin... Lot 40

MARTIN SUZUKI 1000 GS 1984 Type: Martin Original Chassis number : 1148445 Engine number: GS 1000 - 120448 Engine : 4 cylinders 4 stroke engine of 997 cm3 (Ø cyl. 70 x 64,8). 90 horsepower at 8000 rpm. Gearbox : 5 gears, chain transmission. Mileage : 14 877 km on the odometer. Registration : French, 9 HP. Condition : Not running, to be restored. Starting price : 5 000 €. In the 70's, Georges MARTIN was the first to integrate Japanese engines on special frames of his own making, according to him "what made the difference was the geometry, the weight saving and the stripped look". The MARTIN sets thus allowed, on average, a gain of 40 kg per machine, which was inevitably very interesting in terms of performance. The example we present for sale is an original MARTIN with frame, swingarm, polyester equipment, exhaust, brake plate and gear selector. As for him, the engine remains the one of the SUZUKI 1000 GS as well as the wheels. This bike is a good and interesting base for the one who will want to restore it.
