That bike (the VX) was charming but had to make way for the S4R: chalk and cheese, I reckon!

I had to Google Suzuki VX800 because i never heard of one or seen one before . But yea, its a cruiser engine in a kind of 600 Bandit frame. A bit meh imho. Was it an official model or a grey import? Closest jap bike to an S4 woud probably be a TL1000 but without the suicidal handling issues!
