Need the $$$ to survive as a student ... can't afford the luxury ... otherwise I'd keep it. Might give some discount to KBers.

got it on my watch list,might be the one i was looking at last year-did you paint the tank aswell,have you still got the lights and stuff

[dino3310]

i had no papers when i re-vinned my xj600 they just gave me a form to take to the police to prove it weren't stolen

[rok-the-boat]

Yes, I painted the tank black. I have the electrics/lights etc.

[dino3310]

was this it 72127

[rok-the-boat]

Holy cow - that was what it used to be -- I don't even remember taking that pic!

[rok-the-boat]

In fact, I don't think I took that pic. Maybe that was from the previous owner who I bought it off.

was taken of trademe-i didnt have any cash at the time or else i would have out bid ya.:argh:

I think so as it has an Oz Vin plate. But no paperwork. When I came to NZ I knew nothing about bike paperwork. Anyway, now it's an offroad machine. If your still interested PM me ...

[dino3310]

shit mate if i had the cash i would buy,i love this model of DR- but im in a simular predicament i've got a 1999 DR import with no paper work so im trying to sort that out or sell it what ever comes first.

[rok-the-boat]

What's your DR? OK - just saw it - DR650. Nice. Hope you get the paperwork sorted. To put mine on the road I'd need a frame with paperwork. Happy with its off-road looks now.

[dino3310]

mine needs a frame with papers aswell,so i'm gona put it up for sale if i find a frame before it sells i'll keep her.would love to keep it but i need something for the road aswell but i cant afford two bikes at the moment.
yeah the old DR500's look ptetty good without the road crap on them.
check this site out- http://www.suzukicycles.org/ -i'd love to get a hold of the 81 DR for off road and the yellow 82 model for the road, i had the yellow one in my teens, i wish i never sold her. Awesome ride

Hi Kiwibikers

I have had my 1981 DR500 for 19 years. It's done 116,000k on the clock and I have just completed 100,000K of that. The motor hasn't been touched. Just about to retire the bike from road use and use it for off road only. I have never taken the carby off, just chains, oil and filter, tyres, plugs. Still on the original throttle cable. On its second clutch cable now. Still original paint. Seat is taped up of course now. Great bike, always started 1st-2nd kick.

Have attached a piccy!

Jeff thats one beaut bike never thought i'd see one looking that good,
i've got an idea- instead of retireing it how about swapping it for my off road only 99 DR650, i would love to get a hold of one again.
