I can't believe this was 20 years ago! Great write up with current pictures of the bike and a video clip from an interview someone did with Travis back then

Man that Suzuki was butt ass ugly. I forgot about that, its painful on the eyes. When you sat on those u got butt aids instantly. Its as if they were like “if ass ugly was a shape and it had radiator shrouds what would it look like?” Bam!!

Luckily they got their shit together cuz after they moved on from the kawi partnership and made their own 4 stroke theyve been some of the best looking bikes... easily. Thats just a part of their history now where they accidentally pooped onto a computer mouse and it moved and drew the plastics. Thank god they hired some top notch designers.

I was very fortunate to have been there that day. Have tons of pictures back home which I can share here at a later stage.

That was 5 years prior to their joint effort with Kawasaki. The 2001+ two strokes were fantastic looking bikes.
