1975 RE5 Motorcycle

***Herblenny*** · 02-18-2008, 11:51 AM

I was just told by my engine builder that he has one forsale.

Apprently it runs and in decent condition. I don't have any pics but he's sending them to me. He wants $2500 obo.

Let me know if you are interested.

Pics, ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***Herblenny*** · 02-18-2008, 02:11 PM

Here are the pics..

DJ, if you are serious, let me know asap! I'm going to post it on the BIG forum and He wants this sold asap! I'm even thinking about buying it as its in good condition.

djmtsu · 02-18-2008, 05:58 PM

So it runs?

Shit, I need to make a phone call.

Can you find out inf anything MAJOR is wrong with it? Please??

jtbshaw · 02-18-2008, 07:37 PM

Ugh! Having to kick start a rotary is fun. Wish I had the extra $$$, but I'll hold out for an FD or a 20B project. I'll pass the word Phil.

Might be no need to pass the word.

jtbshaw · 02-18-2008, 07:44 PM

Get Louis to top off the brake fluid, it's low.

***Herblenny*** · 02-18-2008, 09:55 PM

I talked to Luis tonight and he said it runs. All it needs is a new spark. Apprently these things flood all the time and you need to carry a spare plugs.

DJ, email me and I'll give you his numbers if you are serious!!! I don't like giving his number out..

He asked me to buy it but I just don't have room

I'm sure I'll regret it later...

I am serious!!! I am seriously pursuing this. IS there anyway you can get me the odometer reading, and some details about it.

***Herblenny*** · 02-25-2008, 07:32 PM

DJ are you buying this? did you call Luis?

djmtsu · 02-25-2008, 09:28 PM

I am in the middle of closing a refi on my house. I will know if I should buy it or not by Saturday.

***Herblenny*** · 02-25-2008, 11:57 PM

Cool!

Let me know!

Goofy · 02-27-2008, 02:00 PM

Sorry for the total noob question but: How hard and expensive are these to keep running and are they more or less equivalent to the 13B (in theory, not asking if parts can be swapped) or are they an entirely different beast and any 13B knowledge will not translate?

***Herblenny*** · 02-27-2008, 03:19 PM

I'm not an expert but far as I know these are single rotor engines. I believe 460cc??

djmtsu · 02-27-2008, 07:39 PM

You can still order nearly ALL of the parts from Suzuki. And I believe Banzai Racing has experience with them. I know he has done some NSU rotary engines.
