I had that exact bike purchased new in 1973. My buddy bought the green model. Together we painted my Grandmothers house and used the earnings to buy them. I’m pretty sure they were somewhere around $700 each. What a blast that bike was. Had to let it go when I got married a few years later. Still in my dreams occasionally.
I had my '71 TS 250 for 50 years (bought it in '72). Just sold it to a friend about a year ago. It always got me home, whether on roads, a day's trail riding or an enduro. I might break down, but the bike was always willing to continue.
Nice vintage 2 stroke Suzuki that as you mentioned with some work and parts it should become almost at 90 percent good, you have great looks to where you would do great as a model for G Q magazine with modeling sharp cool presentations over in Milan Italy perhaps getting to Paris France. ❤
