Perception - Isn’t it wonderful

Perception - Isn’t it wonderful
SUZUKI 1978 RM125C

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230370229457&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:AU:1123

This bike is in good condition, it starts and runs.
It appears to have had an easy life! Or at some stage has had a complete resto.
It has all it's original nuts and bolts and SUZUKI brands.
The plastics have been painted and it  is missing the rear guard.
It appears to have the original front tyre which will need replacing.
The seat has a few small rips but is in good overall conditon.
There is a tac weld on the gear lever but this can be ground off.
It is the perfect starting point to make a great little VMX bike, with not a lot to do!

Does this mean that any bike that starts and runs is in good condition?

It appears to have had an easy life! Or at some stage has had a complete resto.
Just ask the gear lever and the missing rear guard about its easy life. God knows what the muffler went though to get fitted
Perhaps the resto was done as a Year 10 ART class experiment.

It has all it's original nuts and bolts and SUZUKI brands.
At least it has one thing going for it.

The plastics have been painted and it  is missing the rear guard.
But it just had a complete resto, and it has had an easy life after all so the plastics will be pristine under the paint

It appears to have the original front tyre which will need replacing.
No shit Sherlock!

The seat has a few small rips but is in good overall conditon.
A few small rips but in overall good condition. I'm perplexed. ???
Check the condition of the cover, looks as if Cletus has attacked it with the weedwacker.

There is a tac weld on the gear lever but this can be ground off.
Only to show that the gear selector shaft is rooted :P
And if that is a tack, i'd hate see what a full run weld looks like.

It is the perfect starting point to make a great little VMX bike, with not a lot to do!
With not a lot to do. I hate to see what a basket case would be advertised like.

if that original front tyre has the orginal air in it, then you're onto a winner. Obviously the tricky bit is getting it into the new front tyre without losing any.
