Feeler: 1984 Pe175 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

SuzukiRider · 03-04-2007, 05:51 PM

Thinking about selling in the future, and I'm trying to see what people would be willing to pay, hence the title, "feeler".
It's not running right now, but just needs the carb. rebuilt.. which is getting done as we speak. So, act as if it runs.

Its a 1984 Suzuki PE175.
New style UFO front and rear fenders
Fly Racing Grips
Kenda's front/rear with less than 10 hours on them
Seat Cover
Top end done last year with about 5 hours on it
New levers
New, smaller front sprocket
Starts second kick
6 spd

The bike runs great, and is very fast. It's not like some of the older 175's, this one is very powerful and wouldn't recommend it for a beginner. It surprises a lot of people.The smaller front sprocket gave it a lot more torque, without sacrificing too much top end. The only thing it needs, is a silencer. It has an aftermarket one on there, but the baffles were missing so I had to make my own, which means that it's fairly loud. Possibly too loud for some people.
Anyways, just wondering what some of you would be willing to pay.

And just to be clear so theres no confusion, the bike is NOT FOR SALE right now. Like I said before, just trying to get an idea.

Cool. My Dad had a '78 or so PE250.

Anything's for sale at the right price. If you're "feeling", it's for sale.

Looks more like a RM, than a PE. What happened to the lights?

I'm not sure if you think it's an RM, or are just saying that it looks like one, but in either case..

It's definitely a PE.
I have the front light in the garage, and the rear light came off when the fenders were changed.
Also, the tanks were shaped differently on the older RM's.

Oh, and it says PE175 on the steer tube.

Lol. No, I'm just saying if I took a quick look, I would mistake it for a RM.

The 175cc dirt bikes never caught on, and that's a shame, they have the handling of a 125, and almost as much power as a 250.

I had one of the Yamaha 175 IT's
