I quite like that. A decent paintjob and an upswept expansion chamber and it's good.

...add a chain and rear brake caliper for good measure.
And maybe a kickstand, unless you can negotiate that jackstand into the deal. Wink

Girls Bike.
The seat pad only has a Clitorius Hole. A cock hole is twice the diameter.

Only issue would be the whole 'air cooled' thing.

Looks wrong from every angle; this is the quintessential unfinished project that'll change hands about 8 times for progressively smaller amounts of money and will never see the road again.

Apart from anything else, if you were going to go to all the trouble of fabricating mounts etc. for a completely different engine why would you choose a crappy old 70s Suzuki stroker? When I was a yoof the GT250 and it's ilk were cheap hacks one big repair bill from the scrappers... not anything to be aspired to.

Have you seen the price of any 2 stroke over 125cc in the last few years? It's a way of getting a reasonable handling 250cc two stroke without having to spend £10,000 on an RGV.

I haven't, no... the only things I've ever owned with two-stroke motors have been bought because a) I was desperate or b) I liked them in spite of the mode of propulsion. I appreciate your logic, but I still don't think this will end up in the hands of someone with sufficient talent and money to get it on the road.

That is a different assertion than it's not worth fixing. I'd happily do it if I had the space and money (and I didn't already have a KR1S that needs work).

Honestly, if you don't appreciate the charms of a 2t I reckon you have no soul.

Oh, I still don't think it's worth fixing. As for my apparent lack of 'soul'... well, I'm fairly sure I can live with that.

Would that big dent in the right hand frame rail just back from the headstock be an issue?

ah, jolly good we like a bit of debate..

I think it needs a fairing , then I'd like to know if the chain aligns Ok and
also if you can actuually fit air filters, then there's teh question of the motor which may need a full strip down and rebuild to deliver anything like the full 32 claimed geegees.

Overall I'm positive but theres many otehr things I'd spend 2k on first.

Only issue would be the whole 'air cooled' thing.


You really think some fibreglass on the side mounted an inch or more away from the engine is going to make much effect on cooling? Generally the cool air comes in from the front. Laughing Its certainly the last thing on the priority list of shit that needs sorting before it ever sees the road again thats for sure.
