  • Hello Everyone I'm New Here

    First of all I'm a first gen Engnr from my family side.
    I have a great love for old bikes. I already decided to buy a bike which is my dream bike (Shaolin).
    In my school times that was the 'best thing happened'. I'm always getting ready too late for school becasue of riding with my uncle on that bike. That's how much I loved the bike.

    And after I completed my diploma and degree, went for some jobs that fill my pockets not my soul so now, I realised I want to go for my love and searched for a Shaolin below 40k but found lots of bugs with engine. Not good old vintage parts (actually I am not a genius with engines, but I got a gut feeling that those things are not good). Days passed some family issues surfaced and I shunned the thoughts of buying a bike. Now, I came back to buy a bike and I had some amount left in my pocket, 20k.

    I just go to my friend's (bike work shop with finance office and second hand bikes selling place) office.
    I found 5 RX 100 (I don't like Rx personally), lots of Pulsar and Yamahas, dozens of Mopeds, one Zeus and a Honda Shine. I went to his garage and there it is... I found this Suzuki GS150r [emoji52] (Orange, 2010).

    He told me that it had been there for a year. It took him 1.5 hours just to find the keys. Finally he found the keys, started the engine. For the first time, it was coughing like an old patient but then it finally started and settled and boy, it sounded so good.

    This is the story of me and my bike. And by the way, the bike has only done 13000 kms.

    Any Ideas for modifying this bike?

    Hi and welcome to the family.
    That was quite a story of you getting your bike. Please post a few pictures of it as well.
    Ride hard and ride safe.

      Hi Welcome to the family,

      You need lot of job to be done , as it's a bike (not used for Many years !).

        A complete rejuvenating process needed and would costs you around 20K bucks to spend.

        I hope you can't get many parts! (instead replacement from other bike parts can be done ).

          Hi Karthick, welcome to xBhp.
          A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
