bought this off ebay on a whim last year
1975 Suzuki RV125M desert / beach bike - registered from new in the UK and in need of a full restoration. Even has the much sought after original tyre inflator 
As I don't have the free time that 2bims enjoys, my restorations take a while longer, but as of last week, it is now a restored rolling chassis

You didn't keep the original Blue and yellow? Im surprised...I thought that was your colour scheme....Bought on a whim???? More like bought after a whiff of Heroine...... 
But then I suppose you do live near the beach so could be a laugh |

powder blue and pearlescent white are my "corporate" colours for my one-offs. But this is a back-to-standard resto - they fetch more money like this.

no - but only because it will be vinyl-wrapped.
The TDRGV will be white overlaid with the 3 Suzuki blues (light / mid / dark).
TS185 Rural cafe Racer is in "Hermitage Bikes" colours........

and a nice stable mate for it that I found abandoned in Amsterdam.......
after I posted these pictures on Farcebook, someone from Amsterdam informed me that it wasn't abandoned, just that most Amsterdam runabout's looked this rough.
I beg to differ....................

Very tidy indeed. Wheels and exhaust especially look 'factory fresh'
