A works bike would be better, but when do you ever see a works bike for sale, just about never, especially a Suzuki 500.  This is the next best thing and worth the coin - got to be the only one in the world.

You would be surprised... Works bikes are quite often for sale in England and the US.
You just need the coin and the right contacts.

A lot of people do have bike in their lounge, my wife wouldn`t let me, l owned a new cz in a crate, open the lid on the crate everytime l walked into my shed, l woudn`t want another one, the frustation to great and you smoke to much thinking about it.

How could anyone buy a MX'er and put it away for 24 years without starting up ???. How could you so obvious live on a farm and not take it for a hoot ::). I feel sorry for the guy :'(. I hope he gets his 20 grand, Psychotherapy is expensive. Poor guy, he needs help ;) :D.

He has no shortage of cash and a garage full of other MXers.

This was in the pre-renovation days now the house is too nice to put bike in it! (and had no kids back then). My excuse was that lots of bikes were stolen in my area (true) and I was in fear of my bike been the next one to go. And my wife bought the excuse  :D

1 of the guys I used to know through the VJMC had a first model TZ350 in a glass case in his lounge, story was that it was bought & prepared for racing but by the time the owner had finished it either wouldn't have been competive or the owner couldn't be bothered by then. So a few years later it came up for sale cheap as old bikes did with full spares kit etc & never having been on a racetrack, who could resist that?
