1968 Suzuki T305: Unregistered US Import Barn Find Classic Restoration Project

This 1968 Suzuki T305 is a Tax & MOT exempt classic motorcycle that has been imported from North America, where it has been well-maintained due to the favorable climate for motorcycles.

It is important to note that we have been unable to confirm the mileage reading, so it should be disregarded.

When it comes to classic restoration projects, the most important purchase is the bike to be restored, regardless of whether it’s a commercial or personal endeavor.

From the pictures provided, it can be seen that this bike is missing a few parts, including the R/h mirror, entire airbox, tank badges, rear l/h foot peg, and rubbers off the riders peg, gear lever, and kickstarter. Additionally, the bike has been standing for some time, resulting in a flat battery, faded paintwork, perished tires, seat cover, and gators, a mucky tank interior, and stuck carburetors.

However, despite these issues, the good news is that this is the actual bike being auctioned, not library pictures from years ago. It is every bit as nice as it looks in the pictures and is a great find! The wheels look straight with clean chrome rims, the forks and yokes look straight, and the mudguards are solid. The taillight assembly, headlight, and hangers are in good condition, and the instruments appear to be okay. The exhausts are original and solid, and the seat base is in good condition throughout. The chain guard and grab rail are tidy, and the engine is cosmetically clean, turns over nicely off the kickstarter, sounds/feels great, and has compression. We have had it firing and running on easystart spray, but the fuel system and carburetors will need attention, so it was not run for long.

In summary, while this bike has some issues, it has the potential to be a fantastic restoration project, and we wish you the best of luck with your bidding.
