    Fuck that is ugly. Go on. Defend it.

    The fuck? Six grand ? That sound you hear is Bruce McLaren spinning in his grave. Unless its made by the people who make McLaren prams. But still.

    Although the correct sequence just dont look right here is a factory sandcast number stamping






    vs what they have in the pics.

    So its not a sandcast (which i am pretty sure are really non pressure diecast rather than really sandcast.)


    What was common was the chain used to brake and destroy the cases , from what i read the replacement new cases were delivered unstamped.
    this could be one of them or maybe Honda were not lining up the stamps and dis odd looking 9's?
    oi am not into this sorti shit i only like counting rivets...

    I'd love to think they're high, for thinking adding badges to an E scooter was gonna get sales.

    Alas, people are fucking dumb cunts.

    A few years ago this would have got the 250 version. Those days have gone sadly.

    But cuteness aside this will be a hard sell. The 125 maybe. . .

    Bear in mind I'm something of a 50cc zealot as my screen name implies. But realism of what something is going to generate. As a show piece they aren't special the more you look the more steel and cheap fittings you see.
    A laugh to ride. But only for a short while. Bear in mind I rode my RG50 Wellington to Cold Kiwi 6 times, .

    this is the basis of a cool rider and an easy enough project (provided it has compression and a leakdown is OK) Plus it might stop a bit better than stock.

    I was trying to figure out why it looked weird, then realised the hunched look is from having the forks shoved miles through the clamps.

    Just another unfinished project, pulled it apart and went shopping for bits, then realised it takes some skill to put it back together and lost interest. Probably at worst a day's work to put that back together and get it running to sell, unless of course there's other things wrong with it......

    I really dislike that smashed in dash where the key used to go. Even I could ghetto something better than that.

    And what's going on with the handlebar clamps? Some sort of aliexpress gangster tat?

    Ahh this lass is selling her beloved bike. . . . After leaving it in a leaky shed to corrode to death for a decade or so.

    But still wants the fully restored price for it.

    https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/m...ing/4163821274

    Plus how many people remember these from their past? I love 70s Suzuki trailies. The 250 and maybe the 400 are iconic. The 185 and 125 were popular, perhaps the 100s.

    I knew there were 90s, but this is the first one I've seen.

    Doesn't look too bad, could do with a wash and new coat of paint.

    Growing up the kid over the road from us had one it was cooler than My XL100S but slower i suspect it was like a 80s pop star.
    All coked up.... the kid of the other side of me had a lateish YZ80. Still cool stuff pre-puberty
