      My Dad has sitting in his shed now a T500 Suzuki in what looks like factory road racing trim. Dad is holding it for someone who lost storage and needs money. What is this machine worth? I'm not sure if there is a title, it's running, and looks pretty good.

      Here's what I see.

      Oversized drum brakes
      Huge forks
      Road racing tank (endurance sized)
      Bump stop tail section
      Has a headlight, no fairing.
      2 stroke twin
      Has flat bars on it, will need clip-ons.
      Fresh paint and graphics.
      Steering head bearings are shot, can be ridden, but would be foolish.
      Neck shows T500 - 66238 that's it.

      I'll get pictures of it as soon as I can. I can get you in touch with the owner, would make a great vintage track bike.

      I'd hate to see this go to someone who wouldn't keep it in good condition. The current owner is not known for making good decisions with this type of stuff, and could even possibly cut it up.

      Let me know if you or someone you know would want it.
