For sale is my 1986 Suzuki Samurai with less than 81000 original miles. It has been repainted and reupholstered by the original owner. Other than a Weber carb I had installed on it last year, it is all original with no modifications. It has a full top and bikini top. The rear seat is perfect and is kept in storage since I never needed it. The rear brakes were replaced and a new clutch and cable were installed this year. It uses a little oil but not much. It did get over 30 mpg average with the original Hitachi carburetor, gets only 28-29 now with the Weber but runs like a new one and will cruise at 70 mph. It has a Pioneer stereo with 2 USB and 1 aux inputs, CD player, and 4 speakers. There is a box of spare parts including a complete Hitachi carb that probably needs rebuilding, some lights, new weather stripping for the windows, 2 new Pioneer speakers, and I don't know what else there is. The two tops are getting some sun rot on the straps but both work well and should be good for a couple more years.
I bought this Samurai from a dealer in El Paso in June 2009 when it has 66134 miles on it. It had spent its entire life in New Mexico so there's no rust except on the cheap aftermarket wheels. The tires still had the chalk marks when I got it and the spare still does, it has never been on the road. I've used it as a semi-daily driver but don't drive much since I'm 62 and retired. We used it very much like a golf cart in our small community, just driving around and admiring the sunset and having a cold one or two. We took it to the beach in Galveston one time and that's the only time it's been off road since I've had it.
The original owner told me that he had towed it sometimes behind his motorhome into the mountains in New Mexico and it has a collapsible and removable tow bar. I towed it back from El Paso to our home south of Houston with a Toyota Tacoma and it tows just great.
I'm asking $5500 obo and have it listed it locally so reserve the right to sell it outside ebay. It's hunting season now and this Samurai is ready to go just like it is.

Japanese motorcycles moving into forced induction
Sat, 30 Nov 2013While turbocharging and supercharging may be nothing new in the automotive industry, motorcycle engines are almost always naturally aspirated. But even that's beginning to change. At the Tokyo Motor Show last week, two major Japanese companies showed off new forced-induction motorbike engines.
Kawasaki rolled in with a supercharged four-cylinder motorbike engine. It offered little in the way of details, disclosing only that the turbine blades were developed in-house to withstand the heat and vibration of spooling up at motorbike speeds.
Suzuki is taking a different approach, however. Its Recursion concept bike packs a turbocharged 588cc two-cylinder engine with a turbocharger and intercooler. The compact package churns out just under 100 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque, packaged into a motorbike that weighs just 384 pounds dry.
American Suzuki gets $100M in financing to go out of business... buy more cars?
Fri, 07 Dec 2012American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC), which declared bankruptcy in early November, has been approved by the courts for up to $100 million in debtor-in-possession financing to enable it to shutter its US car business. ASMC had received a $45 million loan from the Japanese parent company, Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC), last month in order to make repayment deals with its franchise dealers. At the same time, ASMC was awaiting final court approval of this larger loan.
Out of the newly approved funds, $50 million can be used for operations, and oddly, the other $50 million can be put toward purchases of new inventory from SMC. That's right, even as existing inventory was headed for a smooth exit with the help of incentives, customer demand for orphan Suzuki models is so strong - last month's sales were up 22 percent compared to 2011 - that ASMC plans to purchase 2,500 additional cars from SMC that were built after the bankruptcy announcement. Good news for the owners of those vehicles: the top 50 dealers, representing more than 98 percent of ASMC sales, will become parts and services centers.
The press release below has more information. Unlike its recent tenure here, the end of Suzuki cars in the US looks like it's going rather well.
2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Motorcycle trends come and go like fashion, and the latest two-wheeled style du jour is the adventure bike. Chunky and rugged, these (sometimes) dirt-ready rides often take cues from the massive, Armageddon-ready rigs you'd find on the Dakar Rally. In their most neutered form, they can start as street bikes and adapt for adventure duty by adding taller suspension setups, removable saddlebags, bigger fuel tanks, and better wind protection.
Lying smack in the middle of that dirt/road matrix (and leaning toward the tarmac side) is the 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS. A venerable fixture in the adventure scene, it developed a primarily urban following after the model bowed in 2004, though it's also proved itself worthy of tackling trails and light offroad scenarios. For automotive folks not steeped in the vagaries of the motorcycle world, the V-Strom is the two-wheeled equivalent of the late, great Mitsubishi Montero: capable, no-nonsense, and a bit of an unsung hero in the face of more glamorous offroaders like the Land Rover LR4 and the Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen.
