Suzuki TM-S 185 for sale...sadly
« on: August 26, 2010, 11:50:50 pm »
Due to the untimely break of my mate Marc's left wrist I will be putting the Suzuki TM-S185 up for sale....





It has done only about 2 hours work since it was finished and only an hour of that was racing at Wandering on the 15th of August

Details of it's construction are in the thread here http://ozvmx.com/community/index.php?topic=5280.0
and it will also come with the following spares

3 gas tanks (not for sale separately) and a powdercoated OEM swingarm with a new RMS engineering repro chain roller




NOS magneto cover and sprocket cover

It will also include...
New Gaskets and special tools





New Vintagesuzuki.com side covers and a used  "Hop-up kit" pipe





Spare airbox and cover, TM125 manual plus numerous small sundry parts and oil hose







All this can be yours for $3800 o.n.o although I am willing to sell it without the spares if needs be but I would prefer it all to go as a job lot.

Still for sale, won't waste time with eBay again, open to sensible offers (over $3000) but I will list it with the VMXWA website too.

I can't race it and now that Marc has broken his wrist quite badly (I don't expect he will be delivering mail again until december at the earliest) it won't get used this year or next year since this was to be his last year too, unless someone else buys it. I have sent an email to Alison to put it up on the club website so it will be on there soon. This is the only way it can be bought for now...

For some reason that little bike ticks all of my boxes.........
*It's extremely neat and presentable. I'm so over rattlecan restos.
*It looks factory, the sign of a well done special.
*The TM125/185 combo is a noted success, Jens Olsen pioneered the combo back in the day and still wins on one today.
*You couldn't built one to the standard of this bike for the money.
If I was under 90kg, under fifty years of age and looking for a good little racer that won't wear me out I'd be considering this little beauty. Who was the newby that couldn't find a decent pre '75 bike for his 3k and stormed off in a huff when we tried to help him out? This is a perfect little racer that he must have missed. It's a pity you have to sell it CG but I hope you eventually get your money for it.

anyone with half a brain wanting to get into vmx should grab this bike. I can only imagine that the fact that it's in WA has been the reason it hasn't sold.

I agree this is a great bike with a lot of work gone into it.Transport could be an issue but it could be done cheaply as a backload item to the east.Slighly off topic,I thought it would have sold in the west given the strength of their pre 75 club.
