or this one , ok its marking its territory , but you could get it cheap and it looks ok from the pictures
a little leaking from the head should not be a big problem to sort out , and as its only leaking while standing meanswhen the engine is cold it leaks when warm it isnt so just a quick job of replacing the gasket or even only taking a torque wrench and bold the head on proper

but toad
 there is something i find for you and it its a interesting bike with belt drive and hydraulic valves never need adjustment
all you have to check and change is the spark plug and the oil basicly, the belt is good for 45000 miles (i know someone hwo changed it just before 50000 , in fact his one has only seen a garage every 10000 miles for a oil change and sparkplug change and 3 front tyres and 3 rear tyres in 5 years /55000miles and still running fine )and its a low bike (with the low seat fitted , you get two seats a high one and a low one)and 70mpg is a bit pessimistic
here a small review

Hello Toad, I've found a 1994 model going for £1250 ono on the BikeTrader website. It's 55 miles from me so I'm guessing it's in London (but I could be wrong) With all the MOT's to verify the mileage (9000) it could be a very good buy. I doubt though that it has never seen rain ;-)
Take a look at:   www.autotrader.co.uk/BIKES   and search out Suzuki LS (you can even do a national search)

What lump is that in the Buell?  Thought it looked a little Rotaxish - then noticed that it was the wrong way round.

Is the Goose in the Classified section still up for sale, or did you decide against a Goose?

Or toaday a load of SRX bits have gone on - could be a bike in there.... or not.

Lump in Buell = Front pot and cases from a Harley!

Problems with quality and recalls in the US when first released. No idea what the craic is with them now.

Its about time somebody managed to put a 650 motor in a 125 frame for us little people without it having to be a chopper style. With an inside leg of 29" and an arm length of 18" (go on get ya tape measure out and you'll see my problem) what can I we except ride 125's and 250's?

[Steve H]

If do dont want a chopper style bike then the Yamaha SZR660 is a 660 motor in a TZR125RR Belgarda frame and running gear. The SRX 400 and 600 monoshocks are even lower than the SZR.

[TOAD]

Yea I really like the SRX series.Reaching the bars would be a problem, I reckon I could change them but don't want to spoil the look of the bike.
