I just bought both bike site unseen for $400 from a family friend who's father in-law bought them new. They have been stored for a long a time in dry storage here in Texas and supposedly have no real rust both engines are free. I don't even know what years the bikes are or what the Suzuki is. Best I can tell is it's a t350 which would be cool. Can anyone tell me from the picture what it is and what it's worth, and share any info or ideas on both bikes. I haven't figured out what I'll be doing with the bikes yet I have a millions of ideas going right now. I know I'm keeping at least one and a build thread will start soon. I go pick them up tomorrow.

Well that 1968/9 350 was certainly used as some sort of flattracker, or endurance racer in its past. Homemade fork brace, no lighting, aftermarket rear sprocket, and number plate, along with the knobby rear rubber. Very cool. Its a Type1 lump so thats a plus, and if it was used for any racing theres a good chance you have some go fast goodies under the hood. Thats a keeper for sure.

As fas as the INSANELY CLEAN Suzi smoker... Its def a T something. Ive see pics of the 1970 t350 in that orange and the 69 t250, but none EXACTLY like that. Theres usually a strip of white involved somewhere. Either way, its clean, fast, and getting rare. $200 is a steal.

If I were you, Id put one away for later and build one now.

Theyre both awesome and (the 350 being a type1) getting rarer. I can tell you that the Suzi parts are harder to come by, and generally more expensive. Unless of course you REALLY dont want one... Than Ill take it. Hows $50 sound? Youre choice. ;)
 
well, the suzuki might be saveable, but the 350 is definitely a goner, there's a dog stuck halfway in the engine! ;D
 
that cb350 is junk... ignore everything von said and send it my way. hell, ill come pick it up and give you 150 bucks cuz i pity you ;)


really man... AMAZING find. i would keep that cb350 in that condition and start racing it again! would be a BLAST. new tires and a good tune up and your set for some fun.
 
Is that a 1969 T50011 Titan by any chance? It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the tank looks like T5002 as does the front brake. Not worth a whole lot of money but fun bikes and that one looks really clean.

The sidecover (what we can see of it) looks more like a T500 as well.
 
It is a t500 I picked them up Sunday on my way to work. My boss offered me $350 for the cb I took it because cash is tight and he will have it running in a week where as I would have it running in a year or two. Now I just have my bmw which I just pulled the engine out of the frame again and the suzuki to worry about. Which is about all I can handle. I'm going to start a build thread on the suzuki soon I've got big cafe plans aluminum tank and seat are at the top of the plans. I don't know a lot about two strokes, but I'm excited I always wanted to do a two stroke cafe with a bad ass expansion chamber. It's going to be a slow expensive project but I have my bmw to ride so it can take as long as it needs.

Spectacular man. Nothing like 500cc's of ringa ding ding ding ding 8)
 
HOORAY FOR TWO STROKES! (did I really just say that?) I've always wanted to get my hands on a Suzuki 2 stroke, I envy you. Personally I would have it see some dirt down the road (tracker) but you're the man with the plan, and budget if you are considering alloy bodywork. Link the project thread when you start it!
 
I went with more of a tracker style with my bmw it's time for clipons rearset and aluminum.


I'm building this bike slow so it won't hurt my wallet to much if all I buy for one month is a tank and the next a seat and so on one part at time. My girlfriend really is really keen on it being her bike though. I'll let her think what she will for now it's easier that way. Hopefully I'll start tearing it down Friday
