Salt Flat Racer – 1971 Suzuki 250

In Custom, Japan, Race by AbhiLeave a Comment

This Suzuki 250 was turned into a land speed racer to compete at the Bonneville Salt Flats – unfortunately this year the Bonneville speed trials were cancelled due to rain and the owner of this bike is leaving the country before the next running. So now you can try to make his dreams happen!

This started as a Suzuki T250 (also known as the Hustler), but it’s obviously quite different now. The motor was rebuilt and there’s a “thumb operated mixture to reduce high exhaust gas temperature on the fly”, plus it’s obviously got a Gulf Racing theme going on. It has not been ridden since the bike was built, and the seller notes that “the current 250 MCG record is only 81mph, this bike is expected to pass 100mph at the salt flats (6,400’ Density Altitude).

Find this Suzuki for sale in Gig Harbor, Washington with bidding up to $1,500 and the reserve not yet met here on eBay.
