finally found an RE5!!!!

Post by bighole »

I have been looking for an RE5 for about 4 years and had pretty much given up finding one in decent running condition within my price range. Stumbled across a vendor at a swap meet with a small piece of paper listing old suzuki for sale. I called the owner and discovered it was a running 75 RE5. Next thing I knew it was in the back of my truck and my wallett was lighter.
Its mostly complete and original save for the seat, rear turnsignals and goobered up sidecovers. New rubber, starts right up, no rust anywhere, not even inside the tank! Ill get in touch with Sam but do any of you other rotary owners have any other links or parts/info sources?
I will post pics soon.
Just what I needed...
WOOOHOOO!!!! :D :D
