suzuki gt200 x5
Here is one of my X5s, with full tax & test being sold as a bike you can restore in between actually riding, pretty rare eh? Hereis the link to click on- hear it running and more pics at the end: http://youtu.be/f3XKaZ7k0bU I have one almost fully restored and another I am about to begin.Im constantly refurbing 70's & 80's bikes because of the fun factor. More than all the 'fast plastic' ive owned, I prefer to nip around on bikes like these because they have peaky power and make a noise (a pretty noise) and upset Honda Superdream riders-and just about anyone else on the road,-just like they did back in the day. You cannot help feeling like a naughty tearaway around town and that's just the wailing noise alone they make. Or you can stick it in a glass case after a full restore like most seem to do -but ITS FAR MORE FUN TO RIDE! This bike is a teenage time machine -if you rode one on 'L' plates in the late 70's & early 80's as I did. when you ride it, you realise why they brought out a 12hp limit. you cannot plod around on these 2 stroke twins because they develop little power until 5k revs-take off until 7 then a fast upward gearchange is required because its pointless after but that narrow power will upset many from a start. You have to make a noise to make decent progress, if you want a nice ride-go buy a Superdream, if you want to go faster and spend 3-4 times the money-buy an X7, its bigger brother-good luck finding one. That's what made them great fun- no boring linear po...
