                LOL , imagine both of us riding Mofa & Atlas solex

                i think vijaymeyou is right its a Suzuki Intruder VS 750 GL. compared the actual photos with the sales brochure i think its a match.

                  *Frank it is suppose to be "ATLASOLEX", instead of Atlas Solex, as most of the sites & brochures say..
                  Some may say....heavens don't fall if an extra "S" is there in that name, but it means a lot for guys like WE (xbhpians)....b'coz," Junks !! as we love them"
                  here is stuff from my....>

                  ps: As on date, you can use my ATLASOLEX as a Treadmill
                  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
                  **Thank you guys for guessing the machine...however came close,just missed the Bulls eye by a whisker....yaeh!! it is a SUZUKI Intruder VS750 /1988
                  Think drift ask me to reveal the story, How I got this??...
                  for sure will do it later...under the title>" How & with Whom we shouldn't get Bikes, particularly in this Classic Bike deal!!"
                  Guys If you all expected a Intruder like this( hope which you wont..>>>


                  But the machine was in pretty good shape with all vital parts, except few( which usually I never care, while picking)
                  The guy(previous owner) took me to the peak of frustration ...in spite fulfilling his greediness..he sent me in a careless manner like this>>

                  with just rags wrapped on the bike...tank thrown inside the goods carrier...
                  Now happy to have this beast at my garage


                  But was shocked to see this>>


                  The transistor Igniter unit broken into pieces, exposing the inside electronics
                  However few fragile things like tail lights, number plate lights came safe in a courier, with help of my friend!!
                  This guy Pratap Henry ( a die-hard Brit bike enthusiasts) bought me a E-copy of Intruder's Work shop manual ( thank you Pratap!!)


                  Have started to fix the Ignition portion>>>

                  have made up my mind not to ask anything further from that greedy previous owner( as per deal he has to give me things like Meter, H/L & few petty things)
                  Already side door panels have been sourced at a Southern Continent , with help of our friends...
                  Any way can be sure my S.Intruder will be like this ( few months after from now!!)>>>

                        I too was about to say a Intruder 750, guess the 4 valves per cyclinder thing dodged me , as even the intruder has 4 valves per cyl.
                        Whatever doesn't kills me only makes me stronger....

                          Yes ur right, i remember seeing the Atlasolex at Atlas cycle store some where in the early 80's the engine's friction wheel which drives the front TYRE can be lifted up along with the engine with a handle ! then i wondered what if the bike goes through some wet patch on the road? is it the same bike?

                          ps: As on date, you can use my ATLASOLEX as a Treadmill
                          sure!

                          & waiting for the Intruder's restoration & ride report. may be i'll ride it when i visit u

                            Ya!! you are right buddy...even I mislead by saying FRONT WHEEL as 21" instead of 19" & saying " Not 4 valves"
                            You guys would have googled out complete Specifications....
                            But here is the exact from the Manual itself....however I have a 460 pages hard copy( from paid E-copy), I will stay basic..at least for now!!
