Tony Nitrous's Suzuki's / Shed / Projects

[Tony Nitrous]

Thanks for putting this up Tony, fantastic set up you have there & an awesome collection of bikes & projects. 

Thanks.
I'm not getting much done at the moment. I have a new job and I'm no longer
self employed. Much of my spare time / money is going into fixing up my house.
Hopefully this will all change in a year or two. The plan is smaller house, bigger shed,
move somewhere rural I have in mind and free up some funds to make life easier!

Cheers for that Tony - certainly a lovely collection of litre plus chain drive Suzukis !

Negative comments be damned - you've got one, you ride it, end of story !!!!

See you out there sometime !!!


edit: I just saw that pic you just posted. It's clearly photoshopped. 
Must be, because I was told by a Ninja rider that "those big heavy bikes haven't got enough horsepower to wheelie !" 

Yes initially I figured they'd confused torque and horsepower, and then I realised they were just disconnected from reality....

Great collection, I thought I was greedy with 4 (and considering a fifth).

Yeah, there's a lot of that "photoshopping" going on....

ive said before Tony, youre a motivated man. your 1100 and naked busa, just beautiful. im too old to be bothered but i had a stable of beauties once. why someone knocked your 14,no idea, didnt see it, just stupid. ive seen over time how much you ride, your piccys. good luck with every plan. i love my 14 but gsx1100 memories still linger. gs 1000 also. not too bad these bloody suzukis. just wish vinales was still on one.

Nice collection Tony, My only negative comment is that I'm jealous of how many bikes that you have.

I wondered where you went   

Guess that explains a lot

Nice collection! 

Question time - Can you give us a bit of an idea how do these seemingly similar bikes actually compare?
                          - If you could only keep one, which one?

nice man cave and fitted out with great toys , will be interesting to hear answer from owen426s 2nd ?

  - If you could only keep one, which one?           

Mates ask why I have bikes "The same" but to me they are different.

As an only bike ?  The Busa, B-King and 1400 get used the most,
but they all have things that stop them being perfect (for me)
and all have things that make them great in a specific role.

No one of them makes 160+hp, has a radial front end with great brakes,
is comfortable on a 800K ride, takes my tank bag, is pillion friendly,
runs a 10.3 at the strip, has endless go-faster parts and is nice to work on.

One bike ?
I'd probably sell them all and build a light weight Gen-2 Hayabusa with a better
seat and Renthal bars....

..... or buy the best GSX14 I could find and do cams, pipe, PC3, Ohlins and a radial front end.


Edit: Ask me the same question on a different day and you'll probably get a different answer !

Fantastic stuff Tony! thanks for sharing the pics, nice to hear other people's bike philosophy and great collection

I still love that headlight on the 1400 and the wheels on the B-King - no matter what anyone says 

My missus would NEVER let me have a shed full of bikes like you've got there
