I know it's been less than a year since I was last sweating over this bike but a friend of mine in Japan snapped some recent shots of the rare and wonderful Suzuki SW-1. When it came out in 1992 it was VERY unpopular. Today they are highly sought after and will usually sell for $8,000 - $9,000 or so. A perfect example of "ahead of its time".

The Suzuki SW-1 was first shown as a prototype back in 1989 (below) and kinda looked like a 1957 Tohatsu with a body kit.

Available in Japan for only 2 years, she had a short lifespan like one of my other favorite oddities, the BMW C1.

Check the brochure here and a little more info here.
