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 .

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.

If your talking the one at the top of the pic beside the big red tank it is a 250 tank. The number 2 is almost gone and not visible in this pic

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

Yes, the blood red one. I knew it was 250,but thought it was decalled 500. At any rate. I'll take it. Thanx Mike.

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.
