Suzuki AC 50, part 5, will it start

[@bryancotton7279]

I also have the bike I had at age 16 - except it's always been mine, I never sold it. I still ride it. A 1981 Suzuki GN400. I actually bought it just before I turned 16, the only new motorcycle I've ever bought.

Nice, I have another , its a Suzuki Bandit 1250 GSF

@@pandyseven my other bike is a 1989 Yamaha FJ1200. Was working brake issues last December but the airplane has taken over and it is languishing. I had a 1981 GS650E that I bought from my dad and rode coast to coast, but sold it years ago.

Nice little bike. I do like the Bandit that shows up in the background sometimes as well 🙂

[@pandyseven]

if you like that you will most certinally like my next project, 1928 Model A Ford

hey guy, nice bike. I love old school! I still have my bike when I was 15. 67-68 Honda cl77 scrambler

nice bike, I remember it....

Looks good. After the Sonex is done, i have a Yamaha RZ350 that needs some attention. One of my kids was riding it and never checked the oil (2-stroke OR the gear box). It's going to be pretty tough to find parts for it, though Yamaha did sell a 4-wheeler with essentially the same motor (different gearing and no emissions junk). So that might be an option. It's not in any kind of condition for a restoration, so it will be "souped up" instead. It will need a fuel tank as well.

You would be surprised how easy it is to find parts for these vintage bikes. I was just thinking the other day, I have my 1928 model A ford I have been putting off, that will be a great build series to do…. give some consideration to videoing the bike, over here they sell for around $7500 AU [5000 USD] for a 1983.
