Yes, a TS185. Ran one in the woods and trails behind my house many years ago.I always loved the smaller bikes too. Mine Suzuki was a 185, but it was two stroke. Love the exhaust smell of a two stroke using Klotz racing oil.

For the right price I would be. If they can make a $10,000 EV why not a V8 bike for $2000?Anyone got a hankerin' for some Chinesium?

We love an adventurous startup, but GWM's new "clean sheet" motorcycle company announced last Friday really does look ominous in its potential to disrupt the established motorcycle industry order.newatlas.com
If you drop the handlebars, would it go?For the right price I would be. If they can make a $10,000 EV why not a V8 bike for $2000?
Also posting to vent: found another project bike for the right price, its too tall to fit in my van and I'm not sure I want to pay u-haul $175 to transport a $400 bike. Life is suffering sometimes.
Unfortunately not very much, plus the rear seat and gauges are nearly just as high. Not sure disassembling the bike on site would be the smartest move, but to save $175 I might. This one has engine oil in the case so I don't think I can even consider transporting on its side. Most of the u-haul cost is the mileage. I think the bike is about an 85 mile drive west so ~175 mile round trip is whats really adding up unfortunately.If you drop the handlebars, would it go?
Home Depot not an option? I think it’s like 20 bucks for a hour or some shit like that.Unfortunately not very much, plus the rear seat and gauges are nearly just as high.

That was my second thought: checked HD's rental site and theres just none anywhere in DFW seemingly. Found 1 that makes sense in Plano for a transit van. Checked Lowes and they don't have any online rental site to give a quoted price EDIT: nor do any of the location other than little elm rent them out. Unlimited miles and $20 for 90 minutes, the bike is about 90 minutes away, so half a day is still looking like an $85-100 day.Home Depot not an option?

That is a Kick-ass motorcycle.. the build quality is top-notch.
