You may not want to be Chuck Norris (or maybe you do), but you’d be happy to have his stunt rider’s bike. Now you can! The Suzuki SP600 was the bike fitted with rocket launchers in The Delta Force movie. This one doesn’t have the black paint job or armaments, but it is iconic 1980s through and through.
This rare original 600cc single-cylinder thumper was only produced for one year and was the predecessor of the beloved DR650. Sold overseas as the DR600, it has a decidedly European ‘80s look, thanks to its large angular 5.5-gallon fuel tank that conveys a Paris-to-Dakar racing heritage, striking red and blue livery, and gold rims. Classic!
Key features of this bike:
* Almost entirely original and in great condition.
* Upgraded with the impressive Mikuni TM40 flatside pumper racing carburetor. Amazing increase in throttle response and power over stock carb. Hang on tight!
* New piston, rings, valves and cam guides, Barnett heavy duty clutch plates and springs, sprockets and chain, and rear EBC brake shoes all with only a few thousand miles on them. This bike won’t let you down.
* Fully street legal with near-new Metzeler Karoo 3 tires. Smooth on the street yet aggressive for your off-road trails.
* Original USFS-compliant spark arrestor for worry-free year-round scrambles in the hills and desert.
Recognized by Cycle World (back in the day) as being very good at everything you could want from a dual-purpose bike. It is an extremely versatile and fun bike to ride.
Spare parts still easy to find and come straight from Suzuki.
If you’re looking for an affordable classic vintage dual-sport that won’t disappoint, or if you’re just looking for a bike to mount those impulse-buy rocket launchers on, this is the one for you!
