guys i couldnt control and there was like a calling of that bike towards me so i went ahead and bought it. . . .the "steal" of a price i was mentioning was only rs 2000/- preety cool haan...........so i was just inspecting it, alot seems to be needed to be changed. But ive taken up this challenge and ama make it work some day or atleast do up the body and keep it as a collectors item. still keep the suggestions flowing in.

As soon as i get some cash wil go after the engine repairs and keep ull informed but incase any of u guys plan to fund me cash or spares....... work wont start by this year or the next 4 months of 2009 atleast.

will try n post pics asap.

A bike for Rs2000/-

? lol amazing price , take it man , if it would not run , you can atleast make it a showpiece , these days showpieces are even costly than 2000INR.

Nikhil congrats, you have proved that you are 2 stroke addict, if you find any junk RXZ let me know i never mind coming down to goa, but the price should be same as yours

2k is so less that we don't even get a 4 speed barrel here

I envy you man.

good determination there.. people are forgetting 2strokers on the roads these days.. whenever im at a traffic signal with my smoking shogun and RD, ppl see the smoke and stare at me like ive committed a crime.. ive seen ppl put a kerchief on their noses n move away.. hehe.. pity.. its like theyre saying 'why dont u get ur bike checked?' ..

Congrats Nikhil! Build her up and take good care of her...she is in good and deserving hands now

. Btw, if you need the fuel tank let me know.There was one piece left in my city 'bout a month and probably still there. Suzuki tanks are subjected to rust and degradation pretty fast so if you keep a spare, nothing harmful about it.

lol congrats on the bike man! brilliant price..
but parts are incredibly tough to find. body parts you'll get as its the same as the samurai. engine etc is tough to get. i picked an entire bore and piston kit last year for 4.5k..
bike's got a mild port job done, runs smoothly done a lotta long distances trips on it. no problems at all. i put a fiero disc kit upfront. the spare bore is still languishing at my place because i don't feel the need to get it replaced yet.

sir jee den if u dont mind wud u sell it to me????? the block piston kit that is or atleast keep it stand by till i get mine throughly chcked

**ShaolinRider** · 11-26-2008, 01:47 AM

lol i'm keeping it till mine dies. my friend rode it for 100km with a broken piston ring. thats why i had to port it to regain the lost power.
i'd say for your bike just check out how worn the engine block is. if its not too bad you can salvage it with a decent street port.

the shaolin is my everyday bike. so only if i sell the bike will i sell the spare bore and piston kit

**Nikhil Pereira** · 11-27-2008, 01:35 AM

ok yar done keep me in mind if that happens.......btw can u give a price list brake down of shaolin spares (body panels and such) and all other available spares. Since u own a shaolin im guessing u mite know it

**nikhils** · 12-15-2008, 12:29 AM

gr8 nikhil that u got it 4 2000
i got mine 4 5000 but it was runnin good ..
it is such a beautiful bike u just have 2 xperience it..

**atul_astro** · 12-15-2008, 02:51 PM

its gonna be a sitting/dead investment worth 2k..actually no wait..you're gonna be spending on parts too right? but its ok since you have an everyday commute bike. bad decision on the shaolin. all the best for the rebuild.

**atul_astro** · 12-15-2008, 02:52 PM

@ joel - is the shaolin a reed valve induction motor? Just curious
