Hi Everyone, I found this forum via a search for info on Suzuki GSF250 Bandits, my little bike has some issues with the CDI anyway, I live in rural Victoria, Australia, plenty of nice non freeway roads to ride a vintage 250, I own several, all smokers, 1976 Suzuki TS250 and a 1966 Kawasaki Samurai, the Bandit has been a recent addition, I had the Samurai out last week, here is a photo taken outside the local coffee shop in Gisborne.

Tony , WOW , that is one super neat bike , look's like someone has thrown some serious time and money at the bike. Look's like you look after your gear , you'll fit in nicely with us neat freak's here .
I'm guessing many of the users and contributors of this forum have an interest in the classic two wheels of all sizes and some are also VJMC members, risky, just looking at your shed-full you obviously like the old bikes, the one that particularly spikes my attention is the Marusho, a long forgotten Japanese, that would be the 500? I remember when they were on sale new in Melbourne in the mid 60s, is yours a rider at the moment?
mate, it is under lock and key i8n the shed and has been shown at tamworth. might have another 2 in pieces.have 2 electras and a kick start.been urinated off in lockdown but happy days are coming. they only made 123 of the electras and all mine have came from the stes. a mate in sa has anelectra courtesy of the nabiac auctions. price was 2 high for me.500cc and 40 hp with needle rollers on the conrods and crank. jap copy of a bmw r50.
Tell me about it I'm taking a break now from dealing with the many issues with my $500 GSF250, enjoying a bit of sanity for a while (and some riding)
