I seen a nice Suzuki TSR125 1998 model with 3000miles on the clock, looks mint, not a scuff that i noticed and well taken care of by the looks of it.

Only thing is i've never heard of this bike before, it's a traily and it's nice, quite big i thought for a 125.

Anyone ever owned one of these that can tell me about it? good bikes? bad bikes? imports?.. and what would one be worth in such condition with 3000miles?

thanks.

It's an import, not sure where from as I can't find any English sites on them. Not a good sign.

I've been searching Google for a while and can't find out much about it at all, most pages that come back are French.

So i presume parts will be a nightmare to obtain when i need them? that's obviously a problem, but it does look like a well-built bike.

I'd give a tip, stay away from grey imports unless it's something very wide spread like the VFR/ RVF. I went even more obscure than a Honda, and parts have good as non-existent availability. The only saving grace is that it's based on a Honda which used to be produced about 15 years ago.

It is nice having something unique though, even if it is a bit crap. Very Happy

Ive got a ts 125 X which is very similiar basically the offroad version of it.

You can throw them around easily and there very nippy , i thought it was going to be nothing compared to a DT but the powerband is extremely strong. Very nice bike light versatile and cheap to run

well i found out it is a UK bike, not a grey import.

Looks like i'll be going for it on Saturday if all goes well, just need to wait for them to put a full MOT on it.

How much would you expect to pay for such a bike from a dealer? i think i'm getting a fair enough price but want to be sure.

I'll post pics if i get it nevertheless.
