1972 Suzuki T500j

An old silver 250 motorsport would be one of my most desired bikes to find and restore.

Bingo. It's sitting in my old mans gargre waiting for me to pick it up. It was used as a beach hack for years though so I can only imagine the state of it.

Cant imagine it but if for some reason you dont want to go ahead with it sing out and i will cash you up for it.

Aren't sisters legal tender anymore?
Edit: I'll probably keep it to restore cos I always wanted one, till I got my XR.

Reckon you made the right decision with the Honda over the T500. You've started of with a great advantage too - its free! I've often thought about a resto project but commonsense has luckily prevailed. Its amazing how much it costs to do and in the end unless its really collectible your hugely out of pocket and thats not even counting your labour unless of course its a hobby/labour of love. Did you know you can built a brand new CB 750 from new parts ? (Something to think about after the XL perhaps) Best of luck with your project

Thank you all for your input. I have decided not to get the T500. It looks likely that it will go to a more appreciative home.
