  • This little Suzuki is a rare survivor of the marque
  • Restored a few years ago to a good standard and not used much
  • Part of a private collection of machines

The new TM250 in a striking Suzuki Aspen Yellow, was based on the similar TS250 trail bike ridden by World Champion, Joel Robert and shared many engine parts including the figure of eight type Magneto cover and clutch operated through a worm and push rod arrangement. The sprocket cover was fitted with three diagonal slits and all the cases were finished in a satin matt black colour. An exhaust system with no rear silencer certainly made the machine sound good and courtesy of a five-speed constant mesh gearbox it produced 30bhp at 7,500rpm. Footrests were of the folding-fabricated sheet steel type. The wheels had aluminium alloy rims, with the total weight of the bike was a very competitive 220 lbs dry.

This little Suzuki is a rare survivor of the marque today. Restored a few years ago to a good standard and not used much since, it comes from a private collection of machines. Last run earlier this year, it will need light recommissioning before use. There is no documentation accompanying this machine.
