    My Beta Trials bike is RH chain drive and left kickstarter. Strangely my GG Trials is conveniently equipped but the stand is on the right. and well hidden under the swingarm. Takes a while to work out which side to kick, which side to lube, and which side to dexterously flick your toe under the stand.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    although interesting, it is about 4k overpriced and pretty much only ever going to be good for a track bike…
    Not sure interesting is the right classification. Why advertise it as hardly suzuki? Which part is the hardly? Is it a Ruc savage frame? Not sure what that is. The Buel front end just limits your braking options.

    The 1200 engine, if sound, is the prime part on it.

    How do people let bikes get in this state and then how do they try sell them as viable for $1k reserve?

    https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/m...ing/4037593741

    Most bits missing of unpopular Jap import 250. Ps will need complete re-vin and on top of that LVV certificate for drum brake conversion. Which it might not pass.

    At best a $300 field bike for the kids to fall off and set on fire when they discover drinking.

    The guy in the comments who says "it would be $200k to restore" is not far off I reckon. The more you look the more there is to see. If what you want to see is the sky and the grass outside the car without looking thru the windows.

    when did we go away from backwards brake and clutch levers. They're kinda cool.

    About 1930. They're cool until you have to replace a broken cable.

    Jesus I looked at the 250 on a bigger screen than my phone and it's worse than I thought.

    As for the 911, well Binky required less work. And GADZOOKS! Looks like the engine is missing.

    That needs full scale electrolysis.
    Anyone that has followed project crusty will see that's a "long term Project"

    depends of course whther you farmed it all out or did it yourself.
    a lot of people seem to value their hobby time at retail trademens rates when they are doing their projects it seems

    I'm not sure how much you could 'do yourself ' on that Porch unless you happened to own the tooling to press out entire chassis and panel sections. All of them.
    Looking at the holes in the floors I can't imagine any of the metal is thick enough to weld onto.
