my bro is looking at an old suzuki ts125, it's road legal has tax/mot but has no dash/clocks, also no indicators, has a front and back light.

seems a bit strange to me why it would have no dash/clocks? opinions?

also, anyone know the height/weight of these? he struggles with my dr350 so hopefully be smaller?

Some one has used it as an off-roader and possibly it was stolen-recovered at some point Confused

Maybe because it isn't actually road legal? Sounds like a field bike to me...

thx for the suggestions....

could have been stolen/recovered... as long as its not currently wanted is the important bit?

deffo road legal mate, it's got mot, tax, v5, numberplate according to the seller.... thats not to it hasnt been a field bike in the past.

going with my bro tomorrow to look at it, will be paying close attention to the v5, frame number, mot cert.

he bought it, what a beast it is! loadsa tax n test, half a logbook, diy ignition, retro looks, choke operated by a clothes peg, yes lol!! runs well though, it'll be a laugh to wreck on local dirt tracks/lanes etc and doesn't need to be trailered there, billion miles to the gallon. still have my doubts it will start in the morning lol.....

whats the fuel/oil mix on this supposed to be?
