Suzuki K15 Trail 80 Year Model

[Colin Jay]

Hi All.

Yesterday I was given a mid 1960's Suzuki K15 Trail 80. I would like to know what exact year model it is. I have done some internet searching and not found much real info on this model, have just been able to find out that they were made from 1965 to 1967. Bike requires premix fuel ( Posilube oil injection was fitted to the K15P from 1967?).  Frame Number is 372674

TIA

You will be very lucky to find ID data from that period. My data goes back to 71 and Suzuki weren't big on numbers at that time. Your best best is to look for the Frame ID tag  or maybe just call it a 66.
 If there is any history of road registration that could also help.

Thanks,

The Frame ID tag gives the Model (K15), Capacity (79cc) Weight (75kg) and engine and frame numbers, thats all. As for rego history, the bike spent it life on a pastoral property in the Flinders Ranges and I would say was never registered. The woman who gave the bike to me had owned it since new, but could only remember getting it in the mid 1960's and that she  stopped riding it in 1975.
