Well, Mr. C, you certainly lead an interesting life. In my simple world I am wondering if you have any comments regarding the 1986 Suzuki Cavalcade? Looking at picking up such a bike and it seems to have been a pretty decent ride in its day. Thank you, sir! (See, I do respect my elders.)
Careful who y'er callin' old. Suzuki was the last of the Japanese bike-makers to challenge the mighty Honda Gold Wing for luxo-touring honors. With V-Four power, the GV1400 was a more powerful and some would argue more luxurious alternative to the Wing. Not that it really mattered. Like the Yamaha Venture and Kawasaki Voyager XII, the Cavalcade never put much of a dent in Big Red's dominance of luxury touring and was gone from U.S. showrooms within three years. Mr. C logged thousands of happy miles in the seat of a Cavalcade LXE, bopping along to Madonna, Prince and the Pet Shop Boys in the tape player, looking quite stylish in his leather Members Only jacket, though not even the Cavy's expansive fairing could keep parachute pants from flapping in the breeze. Make sure the bike's electrics are up to snuff and that the air suspension is in working order. Otherwise, enjoy.
