Comments from the seller

This T500 Titan is in amazing condition for 54 years old! The engine runs but not great as the crankshaft oil seals have dried out due to the fact it has obviously spent most of it's life standing around,so it will need a crankshaft overhaul.The parts are readily available and I can recommend someone to do the job for you,I have stripped and ultrasonically cleaned the carbies and fuel tap.It has a new inlet rubber from airbox and a new air filter with the original airbox intact,a rarity indeed! The fuel tank and cap are NOS Suzuki and has never had fuel in it,as are the oil tank and side cover,the seat,guards and wheels are all in very good condition.This bike is an excellent start for a total restoration,if you are reading this you will know that the old large bore two strokes are now highly sought after and collectable.Inspection is welcomed and encouraged,the bike is imported from the USA with import approval supplied.I also have the original fuel tank etc,which are available via negotiation.Only selling as I'm restoring several other bikes including Kawasaki triples which are bankrupting me! PRICE DROPPED! My other projects are a priority.
