Ancient Suzuki two-strokes

[avgas]

I would love another ol' TS/ER185 but i want one with a round steel headlight and tin tank like i used to have.

ive got a ts 185 im trying to do up now, well get going, ive got enough parts for the motor i really just need some handlebars and to strip it and put back together. i'm just itching to get it going but dont know enough about engines and my exams have slowed the project.

Actually, just changing the topic slightly,..if anyone has a Honda C200, yes the early 60's pushrod 90, please contact me. I'm after one of these at present.

I had a GT250K, by the way, but the one that really appeals to me now is the B100P/B120 (Bloop).

The T125 is the one that has my interest. I must be soft in the head, I am collecting two & parts amassing.

Reading this reminded me of the T125 brochure, with (as I recall) someone in leathers sitting right on the back of the seat and some over-the-top stuff about racing. And what do you know, it's been put on the WWW:

Thankfully the motors on those are really basic. Had a friend that had one also - he ripped the motor apart, covered each part with heavy grease and assembled it.....the thing ran like new....i was dumbstruck.

C'mon guys cut it out. You surely can't get any satisfaction playing with japcrap.

Ive owned 2 GT185s at the same time. One was a Yellow wire spoker that had destroyed a piston for $30 when the Honda shop closed down in the eightys can't even remember their name. I got some pistons that looked close enough and rebored it. They aren't that fast only good for about 130ks.

Second one was black and had those spunky alloy wheels. Nice nippy bikes for around town but if I jumped on one today I think the brakes would scare me.

BTW Paul A100's aren't ancient are they I think you can still buy them new.

Based on the Titan 500 twin.

Finally got the idle jet unblocked....

Fark...... What a friggin hoot... Kermit hauls now ....... Just a few more foibles to sort and then some cosmetics.. What a machine....

[Paul in NZ]

Well heck! I reckon this little beastie would just about get a WOF now... Still need to tidy the wiring and sort the seat but its as cute as a bug...

So... This leads me to an interesting question..

I purchased this on impulse (drink may have been a factor) and I'm super happy with it. It has a plate on it that tells me it was last rego's in 1995 and everything has 'lapsed' which is a bit of a bugger....

Whats my options realistically? Bikes a 1982 A100 dressed like a 1971 AC50.

1. Try to re register it with it's old plate (no paperwork but it's not stolen)

2. Register it as rebuilt from parts (which is true)

3. Buy a buggered one with rego on hold and swap identities? (I want one for me anyway)
