Chris she is a dandy. Never saw a Gamma engine in an x7. Absolutely excellent. I did one with lc swinger years ago. Love it. Keep the wire tight old chap. Peace from Ireland.
I regret selling my 1978 X7 in 1979. I still have the sales brochure to remind of its sweet character. A nice package there mate. I still recall the time I took out the RG 250 for a test ride.
Don't sell it Chris. I grew up on these bikes. I owned a X5 first. My last X7 was standard and boy do i wish i still had it. Hard times dictated its sale at the time but i wish id tried harder to keep her. Any how, great vid. Ive subscribed and already looking forward to more vids. Keep em coming mate. Chris.
I bought a T reg white X7 for only £50, back in 1982, just after the then new 125cc learner limit law had rendered bikes between 175cc and 250cc pretty much worthless overnight. It had worn out swinging arm bushes, which I replaced. I sold the bike on, a week later.
I like the Gamma engine swap, was it fairly straight forward? I’m currently restoring an S reg X7 and have a V reg donor. More of a retirement project for me though 😄
@@SpondonChris. I like a special. That isn't obvious at first glance. But rather it reveals what makes it special slowly. The more you look. The more you find. First rate job. Well done 👍
That, my friend, is absolutely gorgeous. Would love to hear it go through its gears down the road...I don't see any other videos...did you get sidetracked? 🙃
Its not something i wanted to sell, and i would be gutted the minute it went, i will have a think but its hard to price something thats not for sale.@@peterdudgon3830
That's very trick. Kept the silhouette well considering how radical the modifications were. Lovely job!
Top man, love it, it's people like you keeping the old strokers alive. Respect ❤
Dang , you built a Suzuki GT250LC. Bloody wonderful thing my man , superb.

Didn’t think I would like it as I had a original but loved the bike and your presentation, well done.

How do I take strokes out of my engine? Mines got 4 but I think 2 sounds a lot better
just run a little 2 smoke oil into ya fuel mix, that will do it
Looks great ! I remember when they first came on the market! Great Times 😊

Had an x7 in the eighties very weak crank, that will cure it
I miss the smell of two strokes, my first bike after passing my test was the X7
My brother, how much are the prices now? Do you know where the site for selling bicycles like this is?
