The Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry, moving on to motorcycles after WWII. These proved to be an immediate success and by the early '60s were second only to Honda for output. In the 1970s the TS/GT range of singles, twins and triples was launched, proving to be 'the last hurrah' for the large capacity two-stroke engine, with the TS range of trail bikes from 50cc to 400cc providing many future enthusiasts their first taste of motorcycling. The TS185 proved to be one of the most popular models, offering a bike you could go to work on during the week but enjoy some green-laning at the weekend.

This 1981 TS185 ER is presented in authentic condition, still fitted with its original exhaust, silencer and plastics. Not many will have survived the use and abuse that these bikes suffered as perhaps the owner's only choice of essential day to day transport and weekend pleasure use. Part of a small private collection for the last few years, it has not been run for a while, however, it would make a good project to service and recommission over the winter months. It's offered with a current V5C.
