Anyone familiar with these? I just picked up a very clean and low
mileage one. Not sure what I'm gonna do with it yet. Trying to decide if
I want to keep it or try trading it for a pre-unit Triumph, or just
selling it outright.
I've got the same issue with a '70 Suzuki T500, except it's not 100%
complete and not as good of shape.
Any feedback on either bike would be great. It may help me decide which
way to go.

The T500 is on my "someday" list. I'd like to find one and take it
totally apart and resto/replace everything back as new. It will be
British racing green with a tan leather saddle and no badges. They
come up for sale every so often in the $400-$1,000 USD range here.
Let us know what you do with these. I think many would envy your
position.

Are you anywhere close to Oklahoma? I'm not considering getting the T500
ridable, I might get it running though, unless someone wants to get that
project out of my hands. I'd sell or trade, and I have some items I'd
trade for that could make it a great deal for the right person.
Anyone have a twin cylinder Maytag gas engine taking up space?

Nope. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia.
I don't want to offer any offense in the slightest to you or your bike
but the reality is that the last time I paid to ship a bike it cost me
more than what I would be willing to pay for a T500 that was complete
and running. I'll pick one up locally when I'm ready. If I finish
the things I'm working on around the house this winter I'll probably
put a "wanted" ad in craigslist.
Good luck on finding that Maytag engine, the British bike and your
other projects.

How much did that cost you and who did you use? I got a quote from the
first outfit that I found who would do it in the yellow pages. They
wanted $360 to ship from Atlanta to Tampa 500 pounds gross weight and I
must crate it up (by truck).
I plan on visiting ATL soon and am looking for a 1998 Kawasaki Ninja 600
(ZX6R). I thought if I stumbled across one I might ship it home.
