Topic: Two old bikes no one loves anymore.

A Honda and Suzulki frozen in time.

The Honda’s gas tank will test the epoxy method.

So if that odd couple mates, will they produce a Tohatsu or something like that? Maybe a Brigstone or some such off bread!🤔

 What's the Suzuki? I have most of a 71 T350 if anyone needs parts. Cheap or cheaper than that.

I'll find out. They are local at a repurposing ( old junk ) center..

Both looked factory complete is why I had my wife snap picture out of her side of truck.

 No worries. I thought you had possession and was willing to donate my parts. I have a couple bikes that should be there not here.

a Honzuki!

The Suzi looks like my X6....

My first bike ride was on a 5 speed version of that Suzuki. My brother had survived a bad bike wreck and our Mom was white as a ghost when we rode off together.

Looks like that Honda might need a tank liner.

I'd love that old Suzy, bikes that old don't seem to exist here, especially in one piece, I had a minty T250 many years ago and loved it. I need another two smoker........

Old Suzi's rock.  I love my T10.  Bike I learned to ride on.  Rode it like a dirt bike, white walls and all.  For those not familiar, more Colleda than T20 (X6).

Not familiar, got a pic?  More Colleda??

Colleda was the name Suzuki used when they first started making bikes. Changed their name to Suzuki after a few years.
I think they bought the Colleda factory initially but could be wrong about that - damn virus has affected my memory !

Did not know that...thanks

Krusty, one of the Aussie members here (who hasn't been around for awhile) is a Colleda collector, he's got several, from memory. I wish I'd bought all the old 2 smokers that were going around "back in the day" like the minty Honda Dream 305 that I bought for $25 and destroyed the next day when I seized it going flat out at 70 MPH.

Back then, old Bridgestones, Yamaha and Suzuki twins could be bought for just a few bucks. My first bike that I bought, a Yamaha "Omaha" 80cc scooter cost me 5 bucks, and I swapped a bicycle for a Honda QA50 that wasn't running, but as I was pushing it home I noticed the coil wire was disconnected, so reconnected it, kicked it in the guts, and rode it home. Then there were the "Grand Prix" kit minibikes that you installed a lawn mower or chainsaw engine into, BSA Bantams, etc etc. Great days.........

Ask an ye shall receive.  In the condition it was parked.  May 1963 Suzuki T10. Vintage local plate on seat with manual as well as new, proper bend bars.  NOS exhaust pipes can be seen hiding behind the front wheel.  Signals and seat upholstery aren't stock.

Looks to be in very good overall condition.  Will look ten times better with proper bars on it!

Agreed. Thanks!
