1988 Suzuki AX100 from Nepal

Summary:

Cheap and reliable old bike

Faults:

The exhaust occasionally seizes up, carbon builds up, and if not cleaned properly, it can diminish its performance.

It's not the perfect bike for touring. While it's durable, being a 2-stroke engine, you'll have to brake frequently to prevent the engine from cooling down again.

The headlights could be better; they're not the best option for driving on roads in complete darkness.

General Comments:

It's a truly affordable, inexpensive motorcycle, with affordable parts and easy repair.

Despite not having a large engine, it has plenty of power to climb steep hills without much difficulty, has excellent takeoff, and reaches high speeds even when carrying cargo or another passenger.

The engine, despite being very old, runs perfectly even today. It's the soul of the bike. It runs on kick without depending on the battery, so you'll never be stranded. It's a 10-horsepower two-stroke, ideal for constantly growing. I think it has the ideal power at an incredibly low price.

As for the wheels, their greatest benefit is their great durability and resistance. The spoked rims make them long-lasting and quite impact-resistant, and they're also inexpensive to repair if necessary.

Repairs aren't usually necessary on this bike, as it's extremely durable. However, it's worth mentioning, as I've already said, that spare parts are inexpensive if needed.

In short, this is a very good bike for beginners, but also for daily use, and it is one of those that you can fully trust.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
