Description
Up for sale is this 1974 Suzuki GT250 L. (M reg)
I inherited the bike, and spare parts, a few years ago during Covid, and fully intended to restore it. However, recent poor health has meant I had to 'put it on a back burner' for 18 months, and now, I reluctantly need to sell it, due to circumstances beyond my control.
The sale comprises of - An in-tact, undamaged frame, front forks, wheels, x2, with front disk, and rear drum brakes. It comes with the original, GT250 Ram-Air engine, x2, carburettors, and x2, exhausts. (I don't know if the original engine runs or not, but my best guess would be 'not' as it has obviously been taken out of the frame for a good reason - probably seized)
Also included in the sale is a Suzuki 250T (Hustler?) engine from an unknown, earlier model, again, complete with x2 carburettors and x2 exhausts.
I'm not sure if this engine runs or not, but my best guess on this one, would be - 'maybe' because I was told when I collected the bike, that the more powerful, and quicker, Suzuki 250T engine was purchased around 45 years ago, to replace the original Ram-Air unit, however, the original owner never got around to fitting it, before moving away for his job, and leaving the unfinished bike in his mum's garage, for the best part of 50 years.
Basically, everything you can see in the photo's is included in this sale. and a few other bits besides, like another handlebar, rear view mirrors x2, and a cardboard box with the engine mounting bolts, crank case covers, and a few other miscellaneous, bits & pieces.
Unfortunately, there are no ignition keys, or V5 documents included in this sale, as I was told they were both lost over 40 years ago. I am selling this, as a doner bike, for other projects, hence the low price.
The bike is missing, or has problems with several parts, that I couldn’t find in the cluttered garage when I picked it up. These include: the front headlight is missing, the front section of the front mudguard, which seems to have been cut off with a hacksaw, and a seat that’s in poor condition, and has had a shabby repair job carried out on it.
The battery was completely dry, and as such, had to be disposed off.
The final drive chain is missing, and there is no petcock on the slightly dented fuel tank.
I am selling the bike and bits as a complete, job-lot, as I don't have the time, or space, to spend months selling off all these, much sort after, parts individually.
Please feel free to message me if you require additional photos, or further information, and I'll do my best to help.
