making one bike from two

[rynr]

Here are two bikes which are part doners.

The idea is to put 250cc engine into 125cc motorbike.

Not much done yet, first photo will release very soon.

Very nice colour of the other one!

Some bikes from year 2001 has this colour, and i'm very proud to be an owner of 2001 GZ125 (it's original of course).

EDIT:
Just got back from garage - here's first photo:

Welcome to the forum. Have to ask, did the 125 give up ? Both bikes look intact and rideable in the pics.

No, 125 went great - it just turned out to slow bike for me. I need something more powerful. Because of small amount of money i decided to buy a bike from insurance company (history of the bike unknown - propably not worth repairing after crash).

When i bought gz125 2 years ago almost every element needs restoration or replacement. So about year ago i did general restoration of this bike. If i would buy entire gz250 and sell gz125 i'd propably have to do restoration again - or pay too much money for gz250 in very good condition. So i decided to keep many good parts from 125 and just change the engine.

Anyway, it turned out that I bought entire bike in a price of engine with carboratour and exhaust.

Engine has only 14000 km, it hasn't been opened. Whole gz250 bike wasn't perfectly straight, but able to ride. There was only 1 problem - frame hasn't rights to registrate.

That's the story. I hope that it's possible to understand (not very good english)

Now I understand. Sounds like a workable plan. The entire process may be time consuming but I'm sure you can do it. We will give you all the help we can and offer suggestions while letting you do the work. Looking forward to see the finished product.

As you see in picture with black one - aluminium side covers (maybe wrong name i use) are quite damaged. In places where painting got smashed there's serious aluminium corrosion. Today i'll show more photos of engine and tell solution i usually use to get it right.

Just one more reason to fit engine protectors/crash bars. I bet the rider didn't do his leg much good when the bike went down.

Really like the yellow color,I didn't know that color was used, and for a long time I didn't know they made a 125 version of the GZ, [US only gets the 250] learned about it here on the forum. They [Suzuki] seem to have different colors for different countries ,Canada has an all white model that looks very nice also. Here in the US I'v seen red ,blue, green,grey but mostly black colors. The TU250X has replaced the GZ in the US. Keep us posted on your project. CMS
