Anyone fancy a project

Here is my Suzuki TS50x :P

Its for sale £50, I have all the plastics and fuel tank and it was running when i left it to rust in my parents yard at 17yrs old - a whopping 16 yrs ago! :woohoo:

The plastics are really faded and the tank had a coat of blue paint applied to stop it rusting further - the bike was yellow! :dry:

It did have a carb problem when it got hot as the carb warped a little causing a suction of air which cause it to have fuel starvation.

Lots of memories here but its probably only worth the registration document!

I belive the modern acronym your looking for is "Barn find" :whistle: :laugh:

Thanks for the quick reply Cone, that is probably a little far from me as I'm in Cambridgeshire!!

I sold one of those recently...they really are good fun and look like a lot of bike and of course they are 2 stroke!...you should push this as a barn find as others have suggested!
