I'm new to motorcycles, but know auto mechanics. Just picked this up at a garage sale and want to restore it. Is it worth restoring? Anyone recommend a good repair manual? Does it look like I'm missing any important or hard to find parts! (except headlight). What about parts (Austin TX)? Could I get a couple hundred bucks as is (assuming engine runs)? Any help greatly appreciated.

An old Suzuki from the '60's? Parallel twin 2-stroke, looks like it's all there, needs many hours care and cleaning, parts...???.... you'll need some at least, but where or if you can find them is more than I can say. Headlights are easy, you can adapt most any headlight to work. Love the Tremclad blue tank 
So what is it?

No Witnesses.... 
Holiday,
only $75, title and all.
BuzZz,
It's a 1970 Suzuki T-125 II Stinger, 15.1 HP.
I've been trying to find info online, it seems that most sites are in Europe for some reason.
I did find a Clymers manual online that should be here in a couple days.
What about accelerator cable and handle? Are there generic parts you can use? Also the front wheel is held on by a bent 5/16" threaded rod. I don't think thats factory, but where do you go about finding parts like that? I guess what I'm trying to say is that some parts must be Suziki only, but others must be adaptable to any bike.
Would I be better off to sell it to someone who's really into Suziki's and then just get something already functional?
