I recently purchased a 1982 Suzuki GN125 in very good original condition for a very low price. I know this may not be the most desirable of metric bikes, but I personally really like it. It had 1070 original miles on the clock, a fresh top end and carb rebuild, new tires, starter and battery when I bought it. It is one of the most pleasant riding bikes I have ever owned. I live in Amish country so there is basically nothing but farm back roads around me and this bike is perfect for them.
The plan is to ride the wheels off of it until the end of riding season. Not gonna try to fix something that isn't broken. I would like to upgrade the suspension front and rear, put some new brake shoes on it, put some of the mini-indicators on, and probably change the dash set up to just a mini-speedo unit... The clutch and front brake levers are pretty squishy, so I will probably replace those with some smaller adjustable units. Overall I am very happy with this little around-town scoot. If anyone has any experience/tips with these bikes or knowledge of a good source for OEM/repop parts I would be grateful to hear about them.
