    I raced the open class back in the early 80's on one of these.  After seizing the engine in a desert race I had the cylinder bored and ported which gave it even more power.  There was no holding back after that, or should I say, no holding on...

    I agree with you MJ, in fact I still own a 1977 Suzuki PE250.   Unfortunately it has been modified beyond recognition and would take a small fortune to restore it to its stock condition.   

    My 1st Suzuki was a 1974 TM125 that looked like this one:
