    Need help identifing Suzuki tank

    So I bought a "lot" of plastics from a guy literally out of a barn loft. Most of what he had was plastic dirt bike tanks. 75% of them were marked as to what they are but there is 1 metal Suzuki tank that is in great shape. that I cannot identify. Anyone got any ideas? Obviously it is the white one in pics below.

    Just for the sake of showing here is the rest of them. So far I got the Honda & Zuke tanks cleaned up. Lots of dirt, dust, & bird dung.

    Wow, Mike! That's a lotta tanks! Send em to Mr Clean and he'll be out of trouble for weeks!. Just kidding. That is a PE or DR, But you probably figured that. I couldn't find the exact model in 5 minutes of searching. I'm guessing a big bore, 500 class most likely. I thought 250, but couldn't fine any exact matches. I like old tanks,and the stories they hold

    PS, after actually looking at the rest. I'd love to buy that CR tank, just because lol. Lmk if it's for sale .
    Please help those who cannot help themselves.

    ALWAYS buying Museum quality machines,3 and 4 wheels. And any and ALL ,NOS parts,EVERY brand.

    I am turning my PM's Off,my Email is billsracing@hotmail.com,put 3WW in the subject. Thanx!

    DR was a big help! But you were thinking too big Bill. Found these on google image search. Looks like an 84 model DR125 or 250.

    Thats indeed an 82-84 DR125 tank. If the bottom corners near the seat arent rusted out, you've got a winning piece! Every damn one I find is rusty.
    The PE250 tanks look pretty spiffy too, I just dug mine out of my Grandpa's barn to drag back to Saskabush with me

    That's why I bought the lot myself. Hoping that flipping them individually or couple at a time on here or eBay to make a little on them.
