Not too bad a deal for this neat little twin. I have one just like it I'm working on.

"Clear Title in hand for this cool 2 stroke twin GT185 Suzuki. Electric start!! Bike is all original. Motor turns over with starter at this time. I have not tried to start it up. Will need carbs done, tank cleaned and a new battery too. But, the engine is free and the bike could be really cool if you are someone who can restore a vintage bike. Or, sell parts? Whatever you wish. Missing the left shock. Missing part of airbox. Seat is original and everything is good but the top cover is ripped. Located in Onsted, MI. 49265".

Thats what happens when you low ball Rick....... :lol:
Seller is Tom Darling.
I know him as he is the guy who delivered my KH400 some 5-6 years ago from Wisconsin to NY.
A nice guy and pretty honest I have found over the years.
Paid him with a beat up S3 I paid 100 bucks for and he was a happy camper.
He sold IT for 500 a month later.

Jest bizzness man, jest bizzness.

Bummer Rick. Are these pretty popular in the european market, along with the GT125's?

At least he's not listing it for $1795, thinking it's a goldmine...

They are not massively popular in the U.K. - I was buying it for a pal in Michigan, he spent almost $2k buying and sprucing up a GT185 and then it knocked a big end out :( at $500 it would a cheaper option than a full engine rebuild. I think they are a perfect "Ladies Bike".
