1992 - 1998 Suzuki RF 600 R
The Suzuki RF 600R is a typical mid-90s supersport. So most of what you want is there decent mirrors, fairing, pretty thorough instrumentation etc. Being RF flavoured it also means it’s a tad built down to a price, yet the Suzuki RF 600R is admirably roomy and practical for two.
