2025 - 1st reg 07/02/2025.
1st service done at 636 miles. 7 year's warranty as long as serviced at a Suzuki dealership.
Mileage now 2055 but will go up on nice days.
As you can see it there is a works SR75 sticker kit all over the bike, which makes it really stand out. I believe there only about 5 bikes in the UK with those stickers on. You can remove them and the bike will be like new underneath.
Top box not included.
The bike has never been off road and am selling because I have balance issues with it when the wife is on the back. Going to look for a lower bike.
It definitely handles better than the 800RE.
I had a problem at 300 miles with the spokes starting to go rusty. However, the wheels were rebuilt under warranty by Suzuki. There was a batch of bikes that had the same problem, it wasn't just mine!
Extras:
Centre stand - £300
SR75 kit - £500
Givi rear rack and fitting kit - £180
SC Project exhaust - £500 (original exhaust is available)

Price: £7,750 OVNO

I can put more pictures if required, but it is a bit wet today!

Nice, i like Suzuki trial bikes since having two when i first started riding.
I think i can name two of the picture locations.

Were the first two taken at Uffington White Horse (Dragon Hill) and the ones by the coast Lepe beach?
No idea where the car park one is!

You are correct 1 and 2 and third one car park was in Weston Super Mare.
 
No it's the Works SR 75 is hard to come by, but the dealer I bought it from had contacts.

You really shouldn’t be selling this as a works SR75. It’s not .
It’s just a sticker kit . The full works bike has a full FMF system , different wheels, different belly pan etc .
It looks like this

Oh I thought that was just a sticker kit.

It is just a sticker kit . But it is probably rare as why would you fit a sticker kit to a bike then make out it’s something it’s not ?

Nice bike but owner needs to not pass it off as something it’s not .

Check the advert, it says a sticker kit
 
Just to clear this up - it is an ordinary 800DE but has the works SR75 sticker kit on it - the same as your photo above.
 
Seems to be getting a common occurrence of late, with folks throwing accusations around on ‘for sale’ threads.

Bike looks tidy. GLWTS
But the heading is a bit misleading, "Very Rare" and the seller didn't help matters with his comment, when in essence its wearing a £220 decal kit from GPGRAFIX that anyone can buy.
 
Come on Dave/Martin give the guy a chance to sell his bike, he did say 'SR75 sticker kit all over the bike' not that it was a SR75 full works bike. None of us are perfect.
As it happens, I bought a bike off littlemegdog (sorry have forgotten your name), many years ago and he was great to deal with and the bike like new. John

Thanks John, I am not trying to do anyone out of anything! When I bought the bike the works SR75 kit wasn't available at the time for the public, but I can see on their website it is now available (cheaper than I paid, typical!). When I say the bike is rare, I have not seen another one since I have been riding this one. Maybe other people have seen loads of them. We can end it there for now. Kind regards, David
 
Your asking price makes this a very attractive buy with list at nearly £11k. Doubtless there will be the odd special offer at £9.5k but this is basically a new bike for much less, and with desirable additions. I can’t see it hanging around for long.

GLWS.
 
There are a lot of absolute Karens about..let the guy sell his bike without the so called 'experts' nursing boredom and neglect sticking an unhelpful spanner into his legit efforts. FFS get a hobby guys, more seem to spend time on here than doing anything else. It bores the a*** of me watching this time and time again. Buyer beware etc..let them get on with it, unhelpful comments shut the F up.
 
Absolutely agree. What is it with this country's culture?
Any excuse to "knock" someone.
Obviously, the "experts" about all things bike, plus anything else they feel they should point out in a negative way, are always on hand to show how knowledgeable they are.
Just let people get on with it, please.
