Well after trading old stinky, my 79 300D, for my old motorcycle, then having my wrists disagree with the bike, I turned the bike into this.


It's an 82 300SD. Everything works, interior is sweet, no cracks, etc... runs awesome. I seriously love this car.

What kind of "old motorcycle" could you turn into THAT ?

I don't know, I just put it on my aol space and put a link to it. I could make it smaller if necessary.

I used a 94 Suzuki Katana 750. I had to kick in a few hundred more dollars, but it's well worth it.

I liked my 123, but this car is a whole nother animal. So smooth, quiet, has power, great car.

Niiiccce!

Welcome back,

JCD

Nice looking ride. The silver looks real nice. Beautiful car, wish I could find a 300D in my area in the condition of your 300SD. It definately has the "cool" factor down.

Now if you'd said better than a Katana anyday I might agree, but a GSXR is a fine piece of work.

Anyway, congrats on the new SD Frank!

Pardon me for playing Devils Advocate, but as a diesel afficionado who is also a bike nut, I think you can have both. Don't write off bikes just because your Katana was a) ugly and/or b)uncomfortable. A Katana is sort of like a two wheeled version of a Nissan Sentra, and I would be embarassed to be seen on one. As Benchracer observes, the GSXR is a very nice ride. If you find motorcycles uncomfortable on your wrists, buy a set of HeliBarsand adjust them to your liking.
Aw Hell, this is Diesel Discussions, and you did score a very cool SD.

Now if they just made a really good turbo charged diesel motorcycle.............

Aaakk...

Ahaaaaahhahhahahhahahahhaha! Pretty much my sentiments, Ducati. The Sentra has it all over the Katana aesthetically. It amazes me that Suzuki managed to build one of the all-time ugliest motorcycles and has also built one of the best-looking in the GSXR series since they debuted. Don't get me wrong, if the Katana was the only bike I owned, I'd ride it. But I'd be looking to trade it in quickly.

BTW Ducati, Ever make it down to Laguna-Seca raceway for the Superbike weekend? That'd be a nice long trip on a Duc, a trip I'm sure a Diesel owner could enjoy, but even better on two wheels!
