This forum is for cars that run, or at least are close to running. This isn't for parting out complete cars.

cool, must be chinese made motorcycle. I love the logo. The word "Tercel" is a female hawk if I remember correctly. If everyone in the USA knows the word Tercel is associated with Toyota's frumpy entry level car, perhaps other manufacturers will not be so quick to think it makes a sexy name for a racy motorcycle. Someone on the list should get it, and than they can say they have two tercels, a two wheel and a four wheel version.

actually, a tercel is a male hawk or falcon, and about 1/3 smaller than its female counterpart. that is part of why toyota named the tercel such, since it was the smaller counterpart to the corolla.
