Nice! Thanks for the video. I have a 1982 Big Red that I have had now for almost 40 years, still use it weekly. And yes, they do float.... well not like you would think. The tend to quickly flip over upside down and float great, like an upside down turtle.

Great video, iam looking at one that's has also alot of mechanical done,, from head gasket to all electrical,, they are asking $1600

@seandrake4571 11 ай бұрын

Eric Clark, I wish you the best luck with it. Probably worth it....but I would ask them if they'd take $1400. And only do that when your standing in front of them with cash. My opinion of course, cause that's how us northern yankees are wired. Truth is, it doesn't matter what you pay. You will "Will" it to the grand kids. That's how well these things were made!

I recently acquired one of these here in Australia but it needs a lot of love….. Any recommendations where to find parts ? I desperately need a seat for a 200ES

@seandrake4571 8 ай бұрын

Hey Paul! Ebay is always a good bet. I don't know much about the market in Australia.... In the US, there's a great community on Facebook that folks post parts for sale and things they are in search off. If you still have an old seat, you could get in recovered. Even with just the seat pan, a good upholster may be able to help. If the machine is close to being able to run, it should be well worth giving it the love it needs. These things stand up to time very well. Best of luck!

reminds me of the machine your dad had at the cabin and is that his old trailer you went by.??

@seandrake4571 Жыл бұрын

Hey Dave! Yes and Yes!! He still has the old Suzuki and that is the old trailer too. We did a restoration on it a few years ago. Will be making a toy hauler out of it in the spring. Actually, dad and I just took a trip up to the cabin and I'm about to post the video of it now. Check it out.....I think it will bring back a few memories:)

Nice!! I've got this 84....and an 86 250es. I agree....have had some newer, larger, more comfortable machines....But nothing like the old 80's stuff!

@seandrake4571 Жыл бұрын

Nice.....no matter how you slice it, these old machines are classics and worth keeping alive. As parts will be getting harder to find, it wise to have an extra parts bike around. Thanks for watching Shaun!!

Right on! Absolutely love these old machines. Just made a little better and simpler than things being produced these days.

Pull start then?

@seandrake4571 Жыл бұрын

Yeah....this one uses a pull start. The electric start works fine, but I've got a dead battery in her at the moment. Thanks for the comment Eric!

@Sean Drake those Japanese atv's are hard to beat. Maybe like you, I prefer the old stuff we can work on, simpler reliability.
