  • RX 135 4s & Shogun

    Hi,

    I'm Shreyas.

    I have an RX 135- 4 Speed and a Suzuki Shogun(both 97').

    The RX is plain and the Shogun is modified with Apache mags and Disc.

    The 2 stroker's forum was what led me to buy a Shogun. I liked it, but after reading here I decided to buy one.

    RX has always been my dream and after searching a lot, got one.

    I appreciate your help and tips. Helped me a lot, and still learning.

    Attached are some pics or my T-Rex and Gun.

    Thanks.
    Money can get a 1942 BSA these days, but even Warren Buffet's whole Bank account can't get us our leg back!

        i think this was supposed to be an introduction thread....

        welcome mate....

        and you are having two of the most menacing 2 strokers of india, happy riding, or rather i shoud say....."burning up indian roads", as this used to be the tag line of shogun, back when i was in college.

                Beautiful bikes..However i personally don't like how ur Shogun looks. I would still prefer the stock looks over mods anyday. Especially when it comes to 2 strokers.

                        Make your shogun Stock - I am attaching a reference pic. Silver Shoguns are rare keep it that way !!! also i belive the silver shoguns had chrome plated front mudguards !!! (esp the earlier versions before the black shogun hit the market - Earlier versions had the Ax 100 meters as well like the samurais)

                          Thank you guys for your comments and tips. I appreciate it.
                          Yeah, I'm proud that I own the Best of the Best(except RD- WISH I could buy one someday!)

                          Mixed reactions about by Shogun though. Even I would have preferred stock looks, but somehow kind of happy with it. Also, it has FZ Headlights..

                            Thanks Prasath. It is a head turner- as you said, looks unique.
                            Yep I got new seats, if we don't feel nice in old clothes, even they wouldn't.
                            So new seats, new garage covers.
                            I got the shogun 2 weeks back, will check the pistons. But, the power/weight ratio is messed, so acceleration not that good as stock parts ones. But yeah, she runs like a horse. Its CatCon I Guess, so Roaring All the Way beyond 50.

                            JD: Thanks man, and as I already said, WISH for an RD.. Still haven't ridden one, and I'd definitely be nervous when I'll get to ride the 1st time.

                              The Shogun seems to be in a good cosmetic condition but the fairing doesnt suit it.
