Nope, Wayne, the bore was still on standard when I sold the bike in 1992.....although it DID go through 2 sets of standard pistons and rings since I bought it new in 1977, not including the factory originals.
The last time I pulled it apart it was on the limit but since I wasn't going to keep it.....

I had a 78 TS185, best dual sport I ever had. My first street legal ride as a new license holder. It just ran and ran. I spent most of my time in the dirt w/ it, 70/30. Road riding was to work and to the g/friends house. Great ride to the strip mine underage bonfire beer parties. (A Pennsylvania/W. Va. thing). Cops had no chance... Chain, sprockets, and rear tire...that was it, beside normal maintainence.
I wish I still had it.....

Thinking about my next project and fancied an off roader
Hi,
Thoughts on my next project threatening my bank balance .
Spotted these bikes on UK eBay but I don't for the life of me know what would be good value for these.
This one is a Yamaha but looks a meaty possibility
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 3DWatching
This is a bit of a boiler, with no documentation
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=016
This looked nice but did not make reserve, was he asking too much ?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=020
Any advice on the merits of the various Suzukis (1st choice) or other makes of semi off roaders appreciated.
Cheers Zunspec
