1974 Suzuki RV 125
This is an original UK import and has the original and consequently matching engine and frame serial numbers. It is registered as Vintage with DVLA so does not require road tax or an MoT
It’s fitted with the optional Suzuki main stand and carrier.
I Became the second owner in 1978, then the fourth around 2000 and current sixth owner in 2018. The third was a good friend and the fifth my brother.
It has been looked after and completed 22500 miles.
During 2018 I restored it to its current condition, leaving original anything that was in good enough condition. All the black and silver painted items have been powder-coated. The shiny parts re chromed, including the front forks which have been hard chromed and have new seals and dust caps. The aluminium surfaces have all been cleaned and polished.
Significantly, the rear mudguard has been professionally restored and resprayed. All the corrosion was cut out, new material welded in and ground flush before primer, topcoat and new black decal stripes. The cable conduits inside have been bonded in to avoid welding and triggering corrosion again. Without a good rear mudguard and seat pan, you don’t have an RV really, they are core parts and impossible (nearly) to source.
The rear shocks, seat cover and front mudguard body panels are original and unrestored.
I have recently fitted a new battery, all the electrical circuits work. The indicators are not the originals, they were stolen, but are period genuine Suzuki items from another model. There are two keys, one original, one pattern. An original period parts catalogue as well.
The engine had a re bore to first oversize several years ago, and new crankshaft oil seals more recently. It starts and runs well.
I will include a genuine original Suzuki logo left hand mirror (super rare now), an optional 51 tooth rear sprocket, a set of unrestored Suzuki indicators and a front mudguard black stripe decal, some gaskets, a clutch holding tool and a flywheel puller.
Recent sales for these models on E Bay are circa £2500, I’m looking for something similar.
I am in West Sussex and the bike is available for personal collection.
Cash or bank transfer.
