1966 Suzuki T20 X6 Hustler (1966)
GIVE YOURSELF THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT YOU REALLY WANT!!!!This is the legendary 250cc X-6 Hustler from Suzuki! This is one of the nicest, most complete 1966 T20 Suzuki motorcycles you will ever see. It is in original condition, unrestored, and shows little of the age and wear that you would usually expect for a bike that is 50 years old. It starts quick and easy, runs great, and shifts smoothly through all six gears. It is all original and includes; tire pump (see it on photo of right side of bike, just behind the right side cover),tool pouch with tools; owners manual; shop manual; Clymer manual, locking fuel cap, original key for ignition and fork lock, separate key for locking fuel cap; and a battery tender to keep the battery charged and ready to go. I hold clear title to this bike. I was in the 10th grade when this bike was new and had it's little brother (150cc twin) when I went to high school. I have owned this bike for about 10 years and have really enjoyed it. The distinct 2-stroke sound, smell, and torque instantly transports me to an earlier time. It is a lot of fun to ride and could be a daily driver for you. The chrome is bright and rust free; the paint is original and very nice, there are some scratches to the fenders that you can see in the photos. It has the appropriate level of smoke with running and runs strong and smooth. The front/rear brakes work as they should; headlight and taillight work, and the horn works as well. The only issues for the bike are; the kick-starter return spring doesn't work. The kick starter works fine, always engages, and starts the bike usually on the 2nd or 3rd kick. The kick starter doesn't spring back and I use a bungee cord to solve that issue. It also leaks a little oil as bikes this age are prone to do. You could ride this bike as it is or it would also be a great candidate for restoration if that is of interest to you. I am not a motorcycle mechanic but I have owned many bikes over time. This is a great bike and I know of no other issues, either now or pending that I haven't mentioned. From its condition, I believe that this bike is a Colorado bike and has been consistently garaged when not being ridden. Bid with confidence as this is a great opportunity for a rare bike. I will not haul or deliver this bike but I will help you, or your shipper, load the bike. I have additional photos and will answer any questions.2016-11-07 04:38:18Denver, Colorado, United States1634000
