1981 Suzuki DR 500 X MotoCross Last Year Twin Shock ThumperComes with TITLE--True NO RESERVE auction-- As many of you already know, I currently have a sale going on all my VMX bikes through my website. So far, right around 5 dozen bikes have sold in the last 6 months. At those prices I believe that my bikes are already a good deal, but in order to keep the momentum flowing I will be listing 2 or 3 a month here on ebay at even lower starting prices. Here's your chance to save even more $$ on certain models in the upcoming weeks and months. This is a great original bike to either ride or race as is, or go that little bit further to transform into the open class twin shock thumper motocrosser of your dreams.Bike is not perfect so please look at numerous scrapes & scratches it has accumulated over the years. Paint & plastic are all ORIGINAL. All lights work. All suspension, wheels, frame, etc. are original and unaltered or modified. Other than the SUPER-TRAP muffler this bike is completely stock. Bike currently has street legal dual sport tires on it now so it could be street ridden as well.Compression is massively huge and it is a real bear to start, even with the compression release. This is a large man's bike, and this sucker will dig a trench in the soil as deep and as long as you want it to. If you can get the traction there is nothing that will stop this thing on a hill-climb. I have owned XR500 Hondas (both single and twin shock) and this Suzuki seems to be way more powerful. It's very possible that this bike has had some engine work (mods) done, but there is no way for me to verify that so please don't ask me 'what's been done?'. COMES WITH BRAND NEW (& impossible to find anymore) REPRO SEAT COVER in the bag. The custom red seat cover that's on the bike currently is just fine though, and usable as is.BIKE can be ridden as is or WILL NEED TO BE FINISHED TO YOUR TASTES. My plans with this bike were to build an early '80's style Suzuki works replica motocrosser. If you decide to continue with that theme I think you might just wind up with a unique and very cool bike when done. These bikes already came with good KYB suspension and aluminum swing arm, so they're a good place to start your project. This bike is an original AZ RUST FREE as well, including the inside of the gas tank.Please look at photos and ask questions (USE zoom FEATURE). Az-Mike 623-465-0636.
