High spec, low cost fun
Spanish flair in Sheffield
Jan set her heart on a Suzuki GSR 600 but needed the bike lowering, lightening and with modified controls to meet her requirements.
The front forks and rear suspension unit were removed and expertly machined to reduce their overall length to achieve the ride height Jan required. Custom made springs were then fitted, replacing the originals with items matched to Jan's weight.
The original geometry of the bike is retained using this process so that the handling is not affected. Comfort & ride quality are also improved.
Having suspension custom matched to your weight, (rather than a standard set up based on an ‘average’ person) means bumps are soaked up out on the road with none of the bone jarring shocks that the lighter rider would otherwise experience.
Jan has since covered over 7,000 happy miles with her bike in the last year. Good lass, enjoy it!
Many newcomers & even some experienced motorcyclists are often put off, simply because the bike they fall in love with has a seat height that 'they think' prohibits them from controlling the machine safely, especially when manoeuvring the bike at low speed.
You don't have to pick a bike simply because it's the only one you can reach the floor on!
SMC will help you get your feet planted firmly on the floor, from a simple seat lowering job, to a sophisticated engineering solution which allows us to tailor your bikes suspension to suit your height, weight & riding style! So don’t be put off, come & talk to our team at SMC Bikes, we believe that bikes should be accessible to everyone, without exception!
