Zitat von paleolithictech im Beitrag #390 I really like that Suzuki. It is interesting to see that Honda and Suzuki were making luminous green bikes not just Kawasaki. My brother looked at a CB200 in a similar colour but ended up with a red one. All from a time before I was noticing motorcycles. https://www.suzukicycles.org/T-series/T5...shtml#gsc.tab=0 says the Candy Vedoro green came in with the 1972 T500J, as well as an orange version Colours remained unchanged until the model was replaced by the GT.

buy one for 6500 Euros in Netherlands Spam goes here |
Zitat von paleolithictech im Beitrag #390 The owner of that Suzuki said it was a 1976 model and was the last year that it was made. I have no idea if what he said is true or not, but he seemed pretty positive about it. I should have checked the head stock to see when it was manufactured.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #393Zitat von paleolithictech im Beitrag #390 The one in NL is advertised as 1972, the first year they rear shocks were not shrouded. The paint on the tank has a different ratio of white/green so it is safe to assume the one you saw is a later model.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #395 ah, that would explain the different tank paint and logo on the Dutch one labelled as 1972 or maybe it is a bitsa, as the unshrouded rear shocks are post 1972 according to the archive link I posted above Spam goes here |

In the wiki article about the T500 the main pic at the top is a red one and they say that one is a 72 and has no luggage rack on the tank. The article claims they started putting the luggage rack on the tank in 71 with the mark III. As far as a disc on the front, that was happening in the early seventies but I don't know when exactly but I'm sure the GT had one by 76 ....

Here is a really neat car that I saw in the Sky Londa parking lot across from Alice's restaurant. A 1968 Alfaromeo Giulia Spyder.

Yesterday I saw a beautiful 2023 Energica Ribblle parked in the Sky Londa Market parking lot across the street from Alice's restaurant. The owner said that the bike has 30K miles on the clock and has performed flawlessly since he bought it new. It sure looked in perfect shape to me. To me, this is the best looking electric motorcycle on the electric motorcycle market. (The company is trying to reconstruct itself after having to declare bankruptcy a year ago.)

This Porsche was parked in the lot across the highway from Alice's restaurant. I have never heard of this new model, but it looks pretty expensive. It seems to have an electric charging port on the front right side fender (sorry about the washed out photo). So my guess is that the ICE power is supplemented by an electric boost motor. That certainly is an unusual license plate. It looks like a computer printout. A fellow next to me said that it was the latest CA DMV temporary license plate system for a car that had just been sold and would be replaced when the owner finally received his permanent metal plate.

Is this it? For a mere $250,000+...? |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #403 That does seem to be the car that I saw today. Money is clearly not an object for car owners that visit Alice's restaurant and the Skylonda General Store parking lot across the street.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #402 Is there any such thing as a cheap Porsche?
