yeah, they're road legal and Restricted but theres also a 200cc version. Pretty much Suzuki's competitor for the DT i think, doesn't seem like it sold too well though.

@LJK_hunter The TS125R isn't that great of trail bike compared to a DTR,
Seems the UK market didn't buy them, pretty cool you've got one
Definitely hold on to it man

I have a ts125 myself the one I have is quite rare it's an air cooled version basically an updated version of the ts125er that was never released in the UK I think there's only a handful here if your lucky.
I quite like the TS125 the one I have is pretty quick and great fun but it rarely gets used thanks to the DTRs ... Super reliable bike though.

@Biker_123 ah yes man, little tank! What's it like to ride?
@Darty Haha yeah it's pretty fun to be honest! quite nippy off the mark for an older air cooled bike " not a patch on the DTR mind you " it handles really well on the trails suspension is good but the bikes quite low down so depends on your riding preference how you'd get on with it! Brakes are crap though drum front and back
literally just tap the rear brake and it'll either lock the back wheel up completely or it'll not stop in time it's unpredictable and makes for a few mini heart attacks! I keep it mainly to look at now only been out on it a few times this year but the other half was using it recently to get to work and back but she was pretty scared of it out on the roads so it sits unused.. I'll say one thing though the engine seems bullet proof it'll start first time even after months of being untouched which is more than can be said about other Suzuki bikes I've owned in the past. -

It's the little ones that get yas. Creased.

Darty you should be able to embed videos if you get the link from YT directly.

Just edited your post to embed directly Darty. If you want you may remove it.
Pretty tragic to crash though lol

Extracting more of my Archive.
1993' sees new Graphics and more of that questionable 90s flair, with which I am very into.
Banging.
Proof, Yamaha can make a serious 125cc 2stroke package....
..The TZ125 from 1996'. A good looking design for this year, the top end of 125cc 2stroke racing engines.
70Kg's, you could pick it up and put it in your pocket.
Rotax were also in the mix, Not quite on par with the power unit of the Honda RS125, but a very close match.
Just want to put some lights on it!
Keep it real

@Darty Difference is, this is a fully fledged GP Bike. Aprilia RS you buy on the road. They were competitive, but obviously no match for a bike designed solely for track. Nice diagrams
-
@Calum Spend my loose change on Brochures to often,
Aprilia did run the RS125GPs or RS125R. late 1980's and 90s. A works engine and chassis from which the RS125's were developed. Not much info on them.

@Calum No production of the TZs since 05' I think. It's a mad one, I've been looking at imported Japanese spec RS125 engines to drop into a production frame, What a project to build!
