Different strokes for different folks. For the money if you tried to build it you'd struggle and may only break even if you do don't include your labour. I like it..no I love it though not my prefered model as I've always said it does not matter what bike you resto the same amount of work goes into each and every one. All bikes deserve respect for what they are and not just because of their popularity rating I'd reckon a 350Bighorn in the same condition would fetch just as much as the TS and they were even less popular

sorta makes my TS look a little sick but I'm a little light in the engine department..one way to cut the weight down..just need to fit the pedals

looks pretty good, somethings might be a little over done, but i really couldnt say for sure from just going by photos that dont always tell the story, but a little over done is better then being under done and having little things here and there not done like an unplated bolt or rusty kill swtich brackets. ive seen 'restos' done where the bike has been done to an overall good standard but then they didnt take the time to properly prepare the engine cases by either sanding smooth or stripping the old paint and had just painted over top of old patchy/peeling/flaky paint which let the bike down overall

with this one i think i would feel like im on a kawasaki though.

whats that white one you got in the backround?

[Doc]

Looks pretty good to me Leith. The TS's were quite highly polished from the factory and the japs used real chrome back then which was the equivelant of the now so called 'triple plating' The colour was pretty popular back then, had a TS90 the same colour I do prefer the red/orange and I do prefer the '73 model so I think I'll have to pass up on this one

that white ones a foreign job Austrian I think

ive seen some NOS chrome stuff from the 70's that ive put on a 74 T500 im doing  like NOS handlebars and the chrome is so crap but thats the original finish /quality so ive left them as they are.

colour seems to match the colour theme they had back then, and I don't mind it at all
Is that a Tm he has behind the TS 400

[Doc]

does indeed look like a '71 TM400 oldfart, good spotting, I was too busy looking at the TS250 and the 400 directly beside the it

I think the colour is sharp     nice bikes in the rest of the shed too 
be a nice little bike for some one..
Its up to $6888.11 aus now,still some money around.

The bidders are all usa ??..Why do they have a buyer names like B***L , P***P,M***L...... is it a company or just the way buyers do it in USA   
cheers
the Steve McQueen road bike has private bidders identity hidden,,gotta be a security thing happening,suppose we can't all be honest johnnies

whats that white one you got in the backround?

looks like a 1985/6 ktm125 or 250

[Freakshow]

Alison its just shown like that so you cant see the bidder, if you go in after wards it show them in full, like ebay Au now does the bidder 1, bidder 2 thing now until its won.  i think its one of those ebay privacy/keep bidders bidding things ?
