Suzuki Other description

This bike came to us thick with dirt but with some fresh gas it ran. We have taken it right down for a good cleaning and it is an amazing bike. No dents in the fenders and only one very small one in the tank. Cleaned the carburetor, gave it a kit and gave it a new drive chain DID528, changed the oil tightened up some bolts and Wow. The TS250's were the first of the duel purpose bikes "enduro" In 1970 this was all metal no plastic fenders. The Hooker header makes it sound and run loud and proud. See the pictures and video for more of the story behind this machine. The chrome wheels and fenders look great.

This bike had the Lights removed and no title, it was used as a dirt bike but not long 1,371 miles tach and speedo still work. I have new points and condenser for the bike ordered before I found out how good it really was in there.  I found lots of new NOS parts right here on eBay for the bike so no problem if you need to go farther with a restoration. We did just a good cleaning and lubing we painted the foot pegs, kick stand and Hooker exhaust black but all the rest of the patina we left it's just too fine to cover up what a fun bike to ride.

Q3 2013 US Motorcycle Sales Results

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Motorcycle and scooter sales in the U.S. in 2013 remain consistent with last year’s figures, according to data released by the Motorcycle Industry Council. Several manufacturers blamed poor weather for the poor start this year, and the rebounding sales in the third quarter helped to negate the slow sales from earlier in the year.

Suzuka Eight Hour capers

Mon, 05 Sep 2011

Chatting to TT legend John McGuiness recently about his first Suzuka Eight Hour experience got me thinking of a few capers the boys and me managed a few years back at what is still Japan's most important race of the season. It is a unique event that starts at 11am and finishes at 7pm making  it a pukka endurance race as the last hour is run with headlights on in the dark. It is essentially an eight hour sprint that showcases the trickest endurance machinery and manufacturer’s sales can be affected the following year depending on who wins or loses.
