A Nice Example of one of These 1973 SUZUKI TS 400 cc Apache ENDURO's Blue Books for Aprox. $3,500.00 My Buy it Now price is about half that much & I do not think you will be able to locate one of these that looks this nice & with so little use on her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So This is a "No Brainer Deal" on a Really Great & Legendary Motorcycle ! * * * That was in the Largest Motorcycle Show on Earth !!! .............How's that for Providence !!! * * * * * IMPORTANT * * * * * "UP COMING * AUCTIONS ALERT" * * * IMPORTANT ....PLEASE NOTE:<<< Not related to this auction 1973 SUZUKI TS 400 VINTAGE ENDURO >>>..... But just so everyone can be ready & be looking out for them ...We are in the process of losing more of our Vintage Bike Storage Therefore..over the next few days I will also be listing several of my TWO STROKE Vintage Racer Bike Collection... several YAMAHA YZ 490's + 465s + 400's + & IT 490's + 400's 250's & 175's also 72, 73, 74 250 MX's & also AT-1s DT-1s CT 1's & HT-1s ENDURO's + HONDA "CR 500R" + CR 250 +1973 CR 125M Tribute 1976 & 1979 CR 125M ELSINOREs *& also a 1974 CR 250 Engine & 2 Vintage 1970s ELSINORE CR 125Rs + also ELSINORE MT's 250 & 125's etc etc + KTM 400 ~1974 HUGE 14" WIDE HEAD "Air Cooled" 175 & or 400 Dual Class "Twin Shock" Vintage Racers & a 1982 KTM 250 a ~HUSQVARNA 1978 175 & a 1982 250 etc etc..I have Aprox. 70 bikes Some are restored most are Ready to Restore...& are Priced Accordingly, & all are well under NADA Values & all will bepriced Very Fairly....... This Fairly Rare Early 1970's TS 400cc Beauty (that we Tweeked Her to Look a bit like a early 1970's SUZUKI 400 Like one of Roger DeCoster's 400 World Champion Race Bikes..But, with lights ) So.. I guess this is a Tribute Style bike. This bike was only used a couple of years and was not ridden hard at all (as you can see her Near Perfect Engine cases, Alloy Fork Legs, Low slung Original factory Down Pipe, Rubber foot pegs & Rims rear fenders etc etc Show very well !! This wonderful Bike was Originally Sold here in Southern Calif Originally as a Dual Purpose" STREET BIKE the owner lived near the national Forest area & so he re-purosed the bike for more off road use & after a while sold his cabin & since that time this Wonderful Bike has sat in Dry Storage Since aprox.1979 according to the Original Owner ..Up until we started her Cosmetic Restoration earlier this year ...that we are just now completing !!!!! * * * PLEASE NOTE: I also have a GOOD Spare Complete TS 400 engine that if the winning bidder wants it I will sell it to the Winning Bidder for just 350 US dollars. I think This STUNNING , VERY SPIRITED & GOOD RUNNING Bike is a DREAM ! These TS 400 bikes Though I think are very fast ...are FAR MORE FORGIVING & Less Explosive to Ride as compared to a Dirt Racing only TM 400's & RM 400 as the TS 400 have a little more Torque, Smoother Running + Better Idling (Due to her FAR Greater flywheel Action) & Therefore These AMAZING TS 400s are Far More Controllable & FAR Easier to Start compared to the Typical 400cc TM & RM 400 Dirt Racers....* * PLEASE NOTE: this TS 400 (a TS is a lot like suzuki's Street Legal version of the 400 TM or to a lesser degree a little like a RM 400 W/Lights SUZUKI Is I think this may be one of the latter more refined years of the FAR Simpler & FAR More RELIABLE & DURABLE Vintage RACE-ABLE Air Cooled TS 400 Two Stroke Engines & I believe this is also a "Vintage Race-able ..Original SuZuki TS 400 style Piston Port + Original style DUAL SHOCK, REAR SWING ARM SUSPENSION SYSTEM" this makes this TS 400 a little like a TM 400 & / or to a lesser degree a RM 400 ..Like the earlier TS 400's.... Best of all these are designed as a Street Legal ENDURO "DUAL SPORT" ENDURO Street Use Etc etc & Not just Dirt Racing Only !...Please keep in mind She has all of her Charging Circuit+Lights are present with the Main Part of the Original SUZUKI Wire loom exiting the engine's Altinator Charging cuicuit..But, this bike was re-purposed off road so will need all lights+gadges re wired & reconnected Again to Be 100% street legal again....I have sold several of SUZUKI TS 's, PE 's and YAMAHA IT 's to people that make them into a more Street " Bobber " (Cafe Racers) Bikes .. (3 went to just Miami Florida ! this year alone !!!) Many People also use these for Vintage Dirt & ENDURO RACING Bikes ... Again...She is a LOW HOUR Bike that was owned by an older gentleman & she sat in Covered Storage for the Majority of her Life..(Again, his was owned by an older Gentleman who owned this for many years & this has always been a "Southern California Bike" as she has been here in CALIFORNIA to the best of my knowledge the Bulk of her Life !!! & in Dry Storage since about 1979 According to the Original Owner & Best of all She STARTS SUPER EASY & just as she sits I think She RUNS VERY GOOD Again.. More Importantly she appears that she was used not very hard & also Very Little in Her lifetime (Look at her Engine Cases Look AMAZING, as do her Alloy Lower Fork Legs, Rubber Foot pegs, Rims, Her Original Low slung Down Pipe etc, etc,.etc .. I think, ALL Look GREAT !. .Since then We are just completing her Brand New cosmetic Restoration (as Detailed & Listed above & below etc.. (No More & No less)...& "YOU" can be the LUCKY Very First Owner of this Beautiful Bike since Her Cosmetic Restoration was completed ! * * PLEASE NOTE: the TS 400 (is a lot like an RM W/Lights SUZUKI Is I think "The VERY last year of the FAR Simpler & FAR More Vintage RACE-ABLE Air Cooled "Original Style Piston Port" Two Stroke Engines & the DUAL SHOCK Vintage Race-able REAR SWING ARM SUSPENSION SYSTEM" this makes this TS 400 FAR More like a RM 400 than Earlier PE 400s were. ...& YES ! .! I have also, the Current DMV Current computers Print out on this Wonderful Bike and she is "Free & Clear" (IE) She Has "NO" back taxes, "NO" back fees & "NO" Back Taxes etc etc owing on this bike at this time because she was in storage for so many years...Please see further Title information listed below Paperwork details for this Vintage DUAL SPORT ENDURO Motorcycle: This Beauty has been in Storage for ~35 years & therefore has fallen off the DMV System computers (IE) ..Which is Really Good News as this means the bike is free & Clear of any Back fees taxes etc etc ).... & YES ! ....I have also, the DMV Current Computers Print out on this Wonderful Bike that Proves: she is 100% free & Clear of any Back fees again this means she has "NO" back fees & "NO" Back Taxes, & "NO" Back registration fees & "NO" Back Penalties etc etc owing on this bike at this time ! ! ! . ...I will Also be including a California DMV (Notarized) "Bill of Sale" (Transfer of Ownership") from myself to you the new owner.. which from what I hear in neighboring states, should be what you need to register her In California as a 100% Legal Street Bike & if you live outside of California. ... If you just want to Vintage Race this bike... the DMV "Bill of Sale" is all you will need..Again, I will also include the California Department of Motor Vehicles Current DMV Computer Print Out on this Wonderful Bike that shows & Proves that because this Beauty was in storage for the past Three + decades & because of this... there are "NO" current DMV Computer records (AGAIN, WHICH IS REALLY GOOD NEWS) on this Wonderful bike & therefore there should be "NO" back fees "NO" Back registration Fees and "NO" back taxes etc etc. owed on this Wonderful "Dual Sport" ENDURO Bike. If you live inside California & want to take this to Vintage Bike Shows & or If you Race Vintage Bike Meets on Private Moto Cross Tracks or (Vintage Bike Meets etc) the Notarized Calif. DMV "Bill of Sale" is all you will need. If for some reason ..Again, If you would like to register this bike for 100% Street Use Or If you want to go cow trail ridding on California etc Government National Forest Land etc land & feel you a may want a National Forest etc DMV "Green Sticker" My Vehicle Registration Office said that because this bike had been in covered storage for SOooo many years (the last 3+ decades) therefore if you live here in California & feel for some reason you want or feel you need a California Forestry Land Green sticker (to ride in Government Forest etc Land) or get her back in the System again for a Street Legal b bike Again it will be Easy because this bike is currently "Off the DMV Computer records System" & therefore Again..there will be"NO" back fees (as after about 10 or 12 years DMV records fall off the DMV Computers) and Again, this California National Forest sticker or street Tags & Registration etc etc is not required for MX & Other Race tracks and also NOT required for Vintage Shows & Vintage Bike Meets etc etc etc here in California & a California Nat. Forest Green sticker is not required if you live out of state etc etc (IE)....Even if the Original 1973 title was present ...the bike has been in storage for 35 years..at this time (2015/2016) as indicated (after about 10 years) after 35 years There are no computer records in the DMV for this bike.. Therefore, the process of registering the bike would be exactly the same as it would if the old title was present or not.. The Notarized bill of sale I will be providing basically determines how much sales tax the new buyer will be paying, a 35 dollar DMV transfer fee & a new current license Sticker or National Forest Off Highway Sticker or my favorite "Title Only" (Again, as indicated above there will be NO back Registration fees, NO fines & NO penalties etc. etc)...(IE) The DMV etc would still have to Verify the Vin # & reissue a new title for the vehicle either way (old defunked title or not) the process would be the same at this time....Please feel free to email me again if you have any further questions on this.. Also, I can have you talk directly to the people that Have done ALL of my title work for many of my Friends and I (& also Mustang Country International & also many other dealers in this area) for the past~15 years.*..Most M/C RACING Enthusiasts Agree the SUZUKI Vintage Dual Purpose SUZUKI TS 400, & also 400 PE's and 400 RMs are one of the Most Beautiful Most Reliable, Most Responsive, & Comparatively About the Fastest.. Vintage Bikes of this Era...EVER MADE ! For a Large Displacement 400cc ENDURO Dual Sport that was Originally Intended by SUZUKI to be a Street Legal This Wonderful easy to maneuver Bike..I think She feels very Light Weight & AMAZINGLY NIMBLE + Well Balance & She Feels Very Light, Natural & Extremely AGILE...I & Most Enthusiasts believe, These TS 400s & Particularly for their time as well as particularly the Racing TM's & RM's etc Vintage Racing SUZUKI's are "WORLD CLASS" Motocross Vintage Dirt Racing Motorcycles !

Everyone I have talked to as (Well as N.A.D.A.

Compared to many Earlier Vintage Race Bikes the Front & Rear Suspension Travel (with Easily Tune-able Vastly Superior Alloy for leg Front Forks + Dual Rear upgraded Shock Struts) & I have been told these had Better Aluminum Legged Front Forks even slightly MORE Use-able Horsepower than earlier year TS 400's & TS 250s ! ! !

We installed Brand New High Quality Vintage style rubber handlebar Hand Grips. Her Transmission Gears Shift GREAT, Her Clutch Releases & Grips GREAT !!! She is just coming out of Dry Storage Important thing is the Clutch does Grip GREAT & the more she runs the better it works.

Harbor areas & Millions of Trucks leave this area every day all you need to do is find a truck that has a little space & that is headed in your direction & I am sure the price would be a lot better for you than with some trucker that is not ! Again, If you need a shipper I would get "Lots of Quotes" (I have always had Great Luck with USHIP.COM & plan on "the rates will vary widely" (IE) as a trucker that is already here in Los Angeles Area & is already planning on going your direction will be a lot different rate than someone that is not already here & is not going in your direction...Also, please remind the trucking Co. you are getting the quote from that ..."This bike is a relatively nimble + very simple dirt bike & ONLY weights about 270 Pounds" (It is NOT a "HUGE" 700 pound Harley etc) So the Shipping rate should be FAR Cheaper & Should definitely reflect that difference.Also, If it will get you a better Shipping Rate Also, I will deliver this bike to any Los Angeles Area Based Shippers Distribution yard for "FREE" & or if you live out of the Country I will deliver this Bike to any Los Angeles Based International Shipper yard in the Los Angles Area for FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
