Description

1980 Suzuki PE175 cc PE - Pure Enduro
however this bike is now a road legal Supermoto.

Not for the PE purists but light and gutsy Two Stroke fun from when bikes were stripped back to absolute basics and none the worse for it.

Looking very moody in its black gleaming livery. A real head turner and conversation starter as few will actually recognise the base bike. You are guaranteed not to see another one quite like this!This bike was built by Pip Higham ( UK Drag Racer / Master Mechanic & Motorcycle Journalist) and the build featured in Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Magazine. (Hard Copy available) So not your usual cobbled together poorly executed special.

The bike has to be seen to be believed and is a true engineering triumph from a master craftsman.
Full engine & chassis rebuild including the upgraded USD forks, Wheels and Brembo disc brakes from an Aprilia RS125 donor bike. Little use since the build and stored in a heated dry garage. Recently recommissioned with carb and brake work by Moto Resurrection so ready for some Summer back road fun!

Low seat height and probably weighs little more than an FS1E / AP50( sports 50cc mopeds) but packs close to 30bhp and stops on a sixpence with the Brembo disc brakes.
Everywhere you look you will see greatly engineered detail touches from the gear linkages to the Alcantara suede seat and how the meld of old and newer parts form a cohesive road going hooligan of a bike from its off road heritage.

Historic status so tax and MoT exempt ( however recent check over and all is in fine fettle)

V5 in my name, I have owned and enjoyed this bike for a number of years but the time has come to let someone a bit younger take the reigns.
