When I was seventeen I really, really wanted a TS125 Suzuki in orange tank version. Thought they looked great. That black high level exhaust with chrome heat shield/leg guard etc.
Rented one for a week in Jersey. Had a cr*p battery so poor lights and indicators but that was just the lousy service from Herbie Tostevins Bike Rental !
This looks good as an army bike style IMHO. Have fun!!!!!

recommend you put a tube on top (inside) of the carb slide tho to restrict it (stop it going all the way open) - may be a bit too much for a little un, at first anyway. :thumbup:

It seems like a good buy for just £300 Marra, I bet your daughter is well impressed.

I had a TS100 when I was a lot younger than I am now, at the time I thought it was a great little dual purpose bike. A mate of mine had one with a high and low gear ratio lever on it, that made it a much better as a dual purpose bike IMO.

Much later on I has a TS100ERZ (mono shock version) as cheap transport for work. That thing used to fly for a little 100cc bike. Also I only had to fill her up every two weeks :D

looks in good nick for its age, and I as a bonus you can do a bit of green laning on it.

I have great fun on my old Kwak 125 roadbike, but it would be 10 times better if I could use it off road............was thinking of adding drop bars and an expansion pipe to complete the "re living your teenage years" but perhaps I can fit some knobblies off the trials bike. :confused
