@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. -

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!

Yamaha TZM150.
Nicasil bore, 4HF-00 or 4AP-00 - 147cc
Looks very close to matching DT/TZR crankcases, but not quite.
TZM has the same stroke/ crankshaft as the 125s, really strange engine by Yamaha for the East Asian market. Rated at 34hp, apparently. But more like 30.
hmmm...Looks like a crap TZR. Or just like a TZR50.
And then a TZM 50, which I just found today, Thought man, that's pretty cool.
But, street legal road bike for whom? An 8year old? Lke TDR80's they are hilarious, proper bits of kit, just shrunk in the washing machine.
