biffsgasgas Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 This was posted on our local MOTA website. Located in a suburb of Detroit. Seems like a pretty neat little machine. A bit of a unicorn here in the states. http://detroit.ebayclassifieds.com/motorcycles-scooters/whitmore-lake/1971-very-rare-alta-suzuki-trials-bike-175cc/?ad=34610599 --Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleanorbust Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 That's quite a piece of history there, in pretty much unmolested condition, but the 175cc claim seems odd. The motor looks like the normal 118cc unit, and I don't recall Suzuki doing a 175cc version of that motor. Altas did well in the UK with top line works riders (Mart and Alan Lampkin, John Hemingway) around 1969/70 Would be well worth a punt I'd think, if you were at all interested. For sure you'll never see another one, let alone in this sort of condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
