Re: Suzuki M30
Quite elegant little things, and you see the occasional one crop up at VJMC shows....didn't Boo put some pix of one for sale at autojumble in the Lotherton 2011 thread??
Did have my hands on the later FR50 and FR80 many years ago, both were pretty dire from recollection, especially handling.....the geometry just didn't feel right AT all

Re: Suzuki M30
If you were to come across one of these Scoopy things, 1992 vintage (sorry to highjack the Suzi thread) and say the seller only wanted £50, and say it was a runner, also in white ..... it might have one or two cracks in the legshields would you go for it? ahem, purely theoretical of course
