heres another little cutie  ;D --what a pearla for your collection Doc
 http://www.vintagemx.us/cgi-bin/swapmeet.cgi

This is a 1974 Suzuki TM75. I don't know how rare these are, but I've never seen one on here before. It's a very cool little bike. Would make a great pit bike or an addition to a collection. It runs real nice. Usually starts first kick.It has a fresh .060" oversize bore with a Wiseco piston and rings. The crank bearings feel tight. Has fresh forks seals and oil. New levers and grips. I had the tank and fenders profesionally painted and the new graphics applied. Got the color code from Vintage Suzuki. The tank has been Kreemed. It has stock jetting. The seat is stock and in great condition. It has the stock air filter and it's in good condition.

I had one of those, brand new in 74.
Suzuki's much anticipated competitor for the XR75, what a flop.
My next step up was to a Speedway Jawa about a year later, YEEEEEEHHHAAAAAAHHHH.
I bought a rough TM75 for $50 about a year ago, nostalgia got the better of me.

Slide, your next step up was a speedway solo..ironically at 16 I went from the RM80B directly to the RM400C ;D best move I ever made (though no-one believed me at the time except me ::))..still have them both which makes it even better.

Alison, here's is another you would have prolly seen, my TSM50 mini in a classic 70's shade of Deep Purple! :D..a 5 speed big block TS50 in a TS75 chassis..it actually seems to go a bit better than the 75..weird ???

My first bike was a TM75 1974 model as well. It is the only Suzuki I have ever owned. If that bike was in Australia I think I would have to have it. It doesn't matter now whether they were a good bike or not. It is a nostalgia thing. I do think they look very cool! I haven't ever seen another other than mine. Yours looks fantastic DOC. Hopefully I could see it some time.
Cheers, Grahame.

and a TS at that..suzuki didn't make a TM 50 Slackwell so I had to take it upon myself..necessity and mothers of inventions and all that stuff ::) been known to do stoopid things like that :D bit like Tim I'd say, no disrespect Tim ;) I just keep collecting bits and eventually I build something..emphasis on something ;D actually Tim's creations are far more...creative! I still haven't got to that 3rd wheel ;)
