I had one of these. My father bought it for me for my 17th birthday. It was the X.U.F. Version with the disc brake. It had only been built up a few hours before we went and got it. This was in 1985. I loved it. I wish I still had it. It’s really stood the test of time compared to today’s bikes. Really happy and great memories.sadly both my bike and my Father have gone now. I watched the video on Father’s Day 2022. Happy heavenly Father’s Day dad I couldn’t of have a better father. THANKYOU.
Bought one brand new from Collins Gregory's in Sherwood Nottm 1986. Cost £1895 was a choice between that or the MBX125. I made the right choice. £51 a month. Had it 9 years. knocked out the restriction ring in the exhaust pipe to give me 22hp couldn't keep the front end down when I did it 🤣. 68mph tops & 3 speeding tickets. I know 😥 my own fault. Started first time every time. Swapped it for an XT500 nothing but problems. I've waited 22 yrs to get my dream classic CX650 turbo which I love. Enjoy the TS my friend it was awsome.
Hey up Alfa, yes you made the right choice there, the mbx wasn't a bad bike, but not as good as the tsx, bet that CX turbo is a bonnie bike, ride safe, Simon B 👍
@@SIMONB1 Thankyou yes its awsome. Took me 5yrs to find a decent one. Not many around. Had all the others CBR1000 hurricane, R1s etc over the years but the CX650 turbo is far the best. Happy days my friend. Stay safe.
Wow that's where I got my 'c' plate 125x from, I thought it was around £1100 though. The honda MTX125 and yamaha DT125 were the obvious alternatives, but because I am 6ft 2in the higher seat height of the Suzuki made it the obvious choice - I think it was the most expensive of the three bikes though maybe by about £100. Colin Gregory's was joined (part of) to a much larger building that I think was or became a tyre change place. I think it was called Ward's garage at one point. Around 15 or 16hp if you knocked out the 12hp restriction washer from the front of the exhaust - I guess everybody did this!
Brilliant to hear that exhaust not again , been a very long time , had an 84 model in 85 , first thing to go was the washer in the exhaust 😀great times ....
@@SIMONB1 would love to and have thought about it over the years , but round my way now a bike like this would be a scum magnet ..... i do have many bikes but nothing that would interest the local delinquents ( Edinburgh ) very high theft rate . at least i had one !! 😃thanks for the reply .
I bought mine in 1990. I traded my DT50 in at Coombe Valley motorcycles, Dover. It was a 'C' 1986 in yellow and blue and i nearly flipped it at the first traffic lights. Think i grinned for weeks. It was stolen after two months of ownership but I've never forgotten the effect that bike had on me. I have one that needs restoring in my shed and need to do it. Seeing this lovely example is inspiring so thanks for posting your video.
Hey up 147 Sterling, sorry for the late reply, your comment slipped the net, my mate had a DT 50 😁, bet you were gutted when it was stolen, what did you replace it with ?
@@SIMONB1 Hey Simon, i begged and borrowed and bought a brand new 'F' reg reg blue and luminous green KMX125. It was a superior bike but i have always loved my TSX the most. I have amassed an assortment of parts but as usual, time and dedication to restore it has yet to be invested.
I had a C plater. In 88 and it also had a drum brake at the front. My mate had a c plater with the disc at the front. Its called a TS125XUE with the drum front brake. These have rapid acceleration but poor top end but got there fast. No matter what mods i did., it made little difference to performance. Another annoying thing was that you could alter the rear suspension and make the back higher which looked cool. but it sank lower when you sat on it lol. Last year i watched vid cam recordings of my old un and others and the nostalgia was amazing. Pretty sure they only kicked out 12 to 14 hp. As anything higher was illegal for learners to ride on a provisional.
I could watch this video a hundred times what an amazing bike I got a TS250x in yellow an unrestored rider but have only seen a couple 125’s in the flesh brilliant thanks for showing us Regards sam
Hey up Sam, thanks for watching and dropping a comment much appreciated, there's not a lot of them left around, this popped up in Facebook a couple of years ago, what else do you own ?
LOVE THIS BIKE. Have a 1984 model from when I was in high school(it was purchased 6th hand) Still stands at my parents place. Was running 8 years ago before it was stored. Hopefully I can get it going again when I am old.
@SIMONB1 its beaten up. It has over 100 000km on the odo. Odo did break. No more mirrors, no flickers, no battery, temp sensor broken. Its a real beater, but it just kep going. Had to increase the bore a bit as the sleeve was worn. It has a ProX piston and rings in now. Waterpump probably needs attention again. 2stroke pump still works !
Wow, memories or what, my very first bike bought brand new on D plate back in the day, purchased from needhams bikes in Doncaster....Best memories changed the gearing straight away 😀 took the washer out of the front of the exhaust...17 8 stone wet through she used to fly....80+ easy! Just back in the game after 35 years my new 125 (Zontes G1) now with a bit more timber is a lovely bike to mooch around on. Hopefully will get my DAS done in the new year.....eyes on a CCM Spitfire...saw your video....nice
Hey up Mark, great bikes and memories, great your doing your test, bet u wish you did it years ago, it was easier 😉, good luck on the test next year, and yes the spitfire is a great bike , ride safe, Simon B 👍
Oh Wow ! I had one of these. B283BAR , I think , Had it in 1987. So bought back my youth. And like you, I now find myself looking for one to pop up, in that condition. I can smell it as I was watching your video. Thanks for sharing.
Hey up Nigel, took some finding did that one, they are out there somewhere, good luck finding one, thanks for watching and dropping a comment, much appreciated, ride safe, Simon B 👍
What a lovely wee bike Simon. Amazing power for a 125 too. You can't beat the sound and smell of two strokes! My DT3 Enduro is on the VJMC stand at the Scottish Motorcycle Show this weekend. Unfortunately I'm working but a mate took it to the show for me. Very low mileage on your bike, but I can beat that, my 1973 CB360 has 4500 miles! It came with original tyres, needless to say I replaced them.
Hey up Alistair, as said bit if a game changer was the X, and a bonnie bike, wow only 4500 miles not bad, I too can beat that 😲 in a future video I'll show you 👍🤪, thanks for dropping the comment much appreciated, you should if gone to the show and not work 🤭, ride safe, Simon B 👍
Takes me back I had an 86 model myself I even remember the reg number C530 GOO, surprising as my memory is usually no good, but had fun with it back in the day 😊
Hey up David, they were a but of a game changer in the day, from 12hp to this @22hp 😲, have you seen the other videos if the lc350 and the ts125er, that's sat in the garage, ride safe Simon B 👍
Hey up smiles, been looking for ages for one, usually the 250 is available and the 50cc but the 125x is is like rocking horse sh#te, ride safe Simon B 👍
I had one these. bought it new in 1985 for £995! Mine had a front disc brake. They were popular in my area because they were 125 learner bike restricted to 12bhp but they very easy to convert to European spec to deliver 22bhp and still with great reliability. Even though the suspension was non adjustable it was decent off road even off jumps. I wish I had never sold it. This bike was like the CRF250L of the 80’s but lighter and quicker
@@SIMONB1 My riding days were over a long time ago. Are you sure yours was an 1996 UK spec? I thought all the UK versions had the front disc brake and were limited to 12bhp learner bike power restrictions? I keep hanging my nose over a CRF450L or a KTM 500 EXC but the Wife has vetoed the purchase and says if you want to go offroading at my age, just get a Jeep Wrangler:-) The only issue is that these run you more than $50,000 plus all the extras you know you are going to want even if you never need them. Have you still got your TS125X?
I had a 'C' plate TS125X at 17 years old, they were never 20bhp though. 12bhp was standard as that was all a learner motorcycle (125cc max) could output before passing your full test. I did derestrict mine as it was as simple as removing the exhaust and knocking out a washer that reduced the diameter of the exhaust right at the point of the exhaust to engine flange. I think power was meant to go up slightly to around 15 or 16 bhp. 65 to 70mph on the clock with your head down a bit! Maybe even 75mph down a hill with a following wind and lying prone! Sorry I said 75 down a hill when I should have off a cliff - and still with a following wind!
@@SIMONB1 Thanks for the message, but I think I will stick with my memories that I had as a 17year old, as I find that frequently I have rose tinted glasses when it comes to things I thought were amazing in my youth! Cheers Rich
Great bike , my dads first bike back in 1988 (still running) and the bike from which i learned how to ride properly! Looking for an original carburator , cant find It unfortunately!
Hey up thegregorimax, must be able to find one of them carbs, they must of been used on a few different bikes 🤔, get in contact with crooks Suzuki, in barrow in Furness, they sell new old Suzuki stock , they may be able to help, thanks for watching and dropping a comment, much appreciated, ride safe Simon B 👍
Had 1 of these back in 1998 down Helston Cornwall 88 model first 5 gears it would spin up to 11.500 rpm do nearly 95mph put it in 6th and would go down to 70-75 absolutely brilliant bike so wish I’d kept it back when 4star was king
Them bikes are awesome was nice seeing yours again bought back some very fond memories of me on mine keep up the good work with it and I’ll b definitely watching your next video 👍👌
Not seen that video new to your channel but will b watching it carnt beat old school dirt bikes or any bike really from 80s-90s don’t ride on rd no more got kids and wife I used up many life’s like a cat in younger days on the roads around Cornwall so just ride motorcross enduro now with my boy my m8s back in day had dtr125 they went well and other biking pal had a kdx200 still hanker after 1 of them now lol carnt beat the smell of a 2 stroke
You should get yourself a classic to ride on the road, I've a garage full of them 🤭, I don't bit of trials and green lanes, looking to do an easier enduro, but might be getting a bit old 🤔, ride safe Simon B 👍
Hey up the mad leprechaun, it not bad is it, I was shocked when it came up for sale 🤭, need to insure it and get it out for a ride 😁, ride safe, Simon B 👍
I’ve just bought one as a project but it’s like the clutch is stuck on no drag from back wheel in gear gonna give it a tear down tomorrow any help for parts would be appreciated as was a barn find got it running today after a carb clean new oil and spark plug
Hey up Stan, I believe there are parts available , crooks Suzuki in barrow in Furness, have a stock of new old parts , may be worth a call if you can't find something impticular, have fun with it, ride safe, Simon B 👍
Hi Simon, great video. I bought a black 1986 TS 125 X edition (survivor; original unrestored) with disk brake in the front imported from Swiss (living in the Netherlands). Rare bike never saw one for sale here. Awesome bike also completely original including all original documentation and original keys, almost done bringing it back to life as in new spark plug, liquids, air filter, battery etc. Do you happen to have an adress for parts? NOS or aftermarket, any ideas are welcome. Also, do you happen to know the original size main jet fitted in the original flat side 24mm Mikuni out of the factory? Thanks and cheers!
Hey up , sounds like a great bit of kit, parts , depends what parts your after, consumables eBay possible could be your best friend, the jet I don't know, doing a Google search carb repair kit is showing a 135 as a main jet, hope that helps, ride safe, Simon B 😎
@@SIMONB1 Thanks; 135 stock indeed. Mounted a twin air filter (for a ts 125 r which fits) and a 140 main jet; runs like a charm first kick/ Enjoy yours and stay safe as well!
Hello, greetings, I am in the process of restoring one of these, could you tell me the name or code of the original colors. (yellow and blue) thank you
Hey up, I couldn't tell you the colour code sorry as I don't know them, I would say Google is your friend or a Suzuki forum, apologies for not being able to help, hope you get sorted, ride safe Simon B 😎
My dad just purchased tsr125 dont think theyre the same bike but we having power issues its eithee reving to much or not enough we think it could be csrb ht coil or spark plug and idea mate? Judt curious
Sounds like a sticky float, not enough fuel or too much, I'd be looking at cleaning the carb, check the spark to eliminate the other stuff, have fun sorting, ride safe Simon B 😎
I live in Japan and I'm heading out to pick up one of these tomorrow. A customer of mine says it's taking up space and he just wants me to get rid of it.
Hey up Kansai rider, if you get bored with it , send it over here , think Ive space in my garage for another one 😁, thanks for dropping the comment, do you run a motorcycle shop ?
@@SIMONB1 I used to do guided motorcycle rentals but not anymore. I also have a KDX125 now I just need a little yamaha and honda 2 stroke and I'll have the whole set.
So I picked up the little RA125. It only had 4500km on it. Pretty corroded on bare metal but everything that was painted is mint. I'll need to redo the brakes and carb and I pray the seals are still good.
My Dad has given me his, it's a Suzuki TS125X 1984 Yellow had a friend fix it up needs a good paint and a bit of tlc but was wondering if to sell but don't know how much it's worth I have log book service papers too it's 18K
Hey up Jaden, I think the r was the upgrade of the front brake disk instead of drum, I don't think it was sold in the UK, as the X got upgraded to the disk without a model name change, hope that helps, ride safe, Simon B 👍

🔝 My dream in the 80s 🔥
Hey up Maximilian Paech, did you have one ? Or just dream of owning one ?
a big washer restricts the power,just whip the expansion chamber off and remove the washer(3x spotwelds) will go like stink
Hey up Shaun, thanks for that information, I'll take a look and hope it works , ride safe, Simon B 😎
Hi Simon, great video. I bought a black 1986 TS 125 X edition (survivor; original unrestored) with disk brake in the front imported from Swiss (living in the Netherlands). Rare bike never saw one for sale here. Awesome bike also completely original including all original documentation and original keys, almost done bringing it back to life as in new spark plug, liquids, air filter, battery etc. Do you happen to have an adress for parts? NOS or aftermarket, any ideas are welcome. Also, do you happen to know the original size main jet fitted in the original flat side 24mm Mikuni out of the factory? Thanks and cheers!
Hey up , sounds like a great bit of kit, parts , depends what parts your after, consumables eBay possible could be your best friend, the jet I don't know, doing a Google search carb repair kit is showing a 135 as a main jet, hope that helps, ride safe, Simon B 😎
@@SIMONB1 Thanks; 135 stock indeed. Mounted a twin air filter (for a ts 125 r which fits) and a 140 main jet; runs like a charm first kick/ Enjoy yours and stay safe as well!
Hello, greetings, I am in the process of restoring one of these, could you tell me the name or code of the original colors. (yellow and blue) thank you
Hey up, I couldn't tell you the colour code sorry as I don't know them, I would say Google is your friend or a Suzuki forum, apologies for not being able to help, hope you get sorted, ride safe Simon B 😎
Blue IS That color 😊DIAMONT blue
Hey up, I have no idea what colour that blue is sorry 😁, ride safe, Simon B 😎
My dad just purchased tsr125 dont think theyre the same bike but we having power issues its eithee reving to much or not enough we think it could be csrb ht coil or spark plug and idea mate? Judt curious
Sounds like a sticky float, not enough fuel or too much, I'd be looking at cleaning the carb, check the spark to eliminate the other stuff, have fun sorting, ride safe Simon B 😎
Bluebike! Whit I ride sou gan I see whit now?
I live in Japan and I'm heading out to pick up one of these tomorrow. A customer of mine says it's taking up space and he just wants me to get rid of it.
Hey up Kansai rider, if you get bored with it , send it over here , think Ive space in my garage for another one 😁, thanks for dropping the comment, do you run a motorcycle shop ?
@@SIMONB1 I used to do guided motorcycle rentals but not anymore. I also have a KDX125 now I just need a little yamaha and honda 2 stroke and I'll have the whole set.
That garage will be awesome 😉, I saw a couyof your video's hope you're fully recovered from the crash 😲, ride safe, Simon B 👍
So I picked up the little RA125. It only had 4500km on it. Pretty corroded on bare metal but everything that was painted is mint. I'll need to redo the brakes and carb and I pray the seals are still good.
You'll have to put up a video of it 👍
My Dad has given me his, it's a Suzuki TS125X 1984 Yellow had a friend fix it up needs a good paint and a bit of tlc but was wondering if to sell but don't know how much it's worth I have log book service papers too it's 18K
Hey up Carl, it would depend on what sort of condition it is in, without seeing it, no-one could tell you, ride safe, Simon B 👍
日本ではRA125と言う名前で販売していました。
2stの加速感と音と楽しさが忘れられず僕も最近RA125を購入しました。
こんにちは太郎、2ストロークtsxは素晴らしい高速バイクです、あなたはあなたのRA125に乗っていますか？

Pretty sure Uk spec was 12.5 Bhp unless the exhaust washer has been removed. How much is it ? If still for sale
Hey up Martin, your probably right, I googled it and got a spec sheet and it said it was 22hp 🤔, yes it's still available, what you offering ?
You said it was for sale not open to offers. So what’s the price please. Then I may make an offer.
@@martinsmith6457 £4k for it DM or email me 👍
I have one write here Ireland just bought it
Hey up Peter, is it in great condition like this one ?
I had a ts125r mtx125r dtlc125
Hey up Anthony, looks like you had a few great bikes also, what are you riding nowadays ?

Sounds good
Cálida esa moto una belleza toda iriginal
Whats better the r or x?
Hey up Jaden, I think the r was the upgrade of the front brake disk instead of drum, I don't think it was sold in the UK, as the X got upgraded to the disk without a model name change, hope that helps, ride safe, Simon B 👍
Top speed?
Hey UK , standard, 70 mph on a good day 😎
En minä ole koskaan keulinut? kun ei se ole laillistakaan.
Hey up petter, don't understand what you are trying to say, hope you liked the video, ride safe, Simon B
How much would one of these cost mate ?
Hey up Pip, at the moment if you can find one, be about £3-4 k hope that helps , ride safe, Simon B 👍
@@SIMONB1 yeah I fancy one that needs restoring
@@pipbaines921 hard to get parts I believe, some stuff are available, one will pop up on eBay one day 😁
Don’t suppose you have any spare parts
Hey up Pip, no sorry nothing at all, stuff available on eBay, what u after ?
I am well jell.
Hey up , you could be the proud owner of it, it's up for sale 😁
Sorry to say but the 22 hp they claim here is more likely 10 hp, the engine has a very lively nature and entertaining to ride but lacking power 😅
So the little brother, the TS 125 ER must of been 5hp 😉, the X was much better than the er and twice as fast so it must of been up there 🤔
I dont know ts 125 er
