Hi suzuki people a friend has a works 1979 suz 125 , His son was given the bike by Suzuki at the start of 79 . Its a bit hard to get much info out of him all he can tell me its not a rm . What he wants to know are these bikes worth much ? it still runs comes with a huge spares kit . regards Iain Im trying to get photos to post .
-
I'd like to see the photos.. unless his name is Gaston Rahier i doubt that it's a works bike. There weren't any full works Suzuki's here back then other than the bike Gunter, Cutts and Mclachlan guest rode in '79.
-
not much ;D here my contact email [email protected] if he needs someone to take it to the tip
-
I paypal him $200.00 for the spares just on a punt.
-
Gents if it is a works bike what would the prefix be RH, RN ,or ?? . just so when I get a look I know what Im looking for .
-
It would be RA. Suzuki didn't just give them out.. and unless the rider won a world title they didn't get to keep them.
-
Suzuki did have works kits in the 80's which they fitted to the Suzuki Australia sponsored production bikes and consisted of forks, shock, cylinder, ignition and pipe but that stuff seems to have vanished since then.

Yep , if there was a RA125 around back then someone would have seen it at a title event and there would be pics from back then .

Nothing would surprise me anymore after the RH250 I have seen in a home slaughter shed (next to the chook/turkey pen) in outer rural Perth this weekend.Belonging to a exbike enthuasiast.
I pray to God that he entrusts it to us next week.
cheers A

I looked at the photos from foxy and it's just an RM125B. Can't figure out why the owner thinks he has a works bike??

Be great to see some pics of the RH Allison. What a great find.Hope it ends up at your place.

AT THE SPEEDSHOW IN AUCKLAND TODAY AND A RN400 ON DISPLAY
-
I was racing and working in a Yamaha Shop during that time in Tassie, if anybody had a works Suzuki, everybody that was racing during that time would have known.. Spooky but Tassie really is a small place...... ;D
Iainyz what is your mates name, pretty sure I knew all of the fast Suzuki guys from up north..especially the ones that may have warrented some "go fast" bits..

Fastest Suzuki guy I knew was young Turner - sorry can't remember his first name - no works bikes (or part works bikes) I can remember either.

According to my math’s, the kid would have had to be at least 15 at the time which would make his father at least 35 (maybe younger as we are talking about Tassie ;D).
So if it’s a 77 model then its been 34 years since the bike was bought which would make the father somewhere around 70 years old and he probably remembers his kid as being way better than he really was.

That was Andrew Turner. Dont think he would not have been riding anything a old as a "Rm B" aged bike. I'm pretty sure he was riding in RLH (restricted licence holder) with a N or a T whe I first noticed him going around.

thats right Slawesy - Andrew - thanks. And yes he was riding RLH at the 81 titles held in Tassie (I hope i have that right?) - where he gave Jeff leisk a bit of a touch up but again no special bikes I know of.
