Here is my Suzuki TXXX Cobra up for sale.  The earliest and in my opinion the nicest of all the models.  This bike can be rode as it is or restored.  The chrome is showing signs of pitting and the candy gold paint work is showing signs of age.  This is documented in the eighties as owned by Don Leeson the founder of the VJMCC Vintage Japanese motor cycle club) who unfortunately lost his life riding in the Isle of Man TT races.  As being known to be documented in the eighties this would very likely make it one of the original fourty something bikes sent to the uk in sixty eight.  Every thing is original on the bike, it has the correct front and rear fenders which are very rare and expensive if you can find them as they were only fitted on this model for one year, both are in very good condition with no dings or dents.  The seat is the original suede style which was also only on this model.  Both silencers are in good condition with no dents.  new fuel tap has been fitted, these are approx ??XXX and available from the USA.  New battery fitted.  Original metal side panel, battery side not fibreglass after market replacement.  Original horn and grab rail, also the original shock absorbers are present.  To sum up this is good original bike to ride or restore to show with very good provenance.  do not have to sell this bike so will not let it go for silly offers less than the starting price.  Cash on collection only.
