1971 Suzuki TS185 at No Reserve

This 1971 Suzuki TS185 reportedly remained in one family for 55 years, until ownership passed to the seller earlier this year. The bike is powered by a 183cc two-stroke single paired with a five-speed transmission and is finished in orange and black. Features include a two-up seat, a kick starter, an upswept exhaust system, oil injection, a Mikuni carburetor, a chrome cross-braced handlebar, a skid plate, trail lighting, wire-spoke wheels, and a side stand. This TS185 is now offered at no reserve with a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.

The bike is finished in orange with black graphics and a silver-finished side panel, all set over a black-finished frame. Features include a 1.8-gallon fuel tank, a two-up seat with a passenger grab strap, a skid plate, a rear grab handle, high-mounted bright fenders, folding passenger foot pegs, and a side stand. The seller notes the headlight bulb isn’t working.

Wire-spoke wheels with chrome rims are mounted with older IRC Trials tires. Stopping power is provided by drums at both ends while suspension consists of a conventional telescopic fork in addition to a pair of shocks with chrome-shrouded uppers mounted to the swingarm.

The chrome cross-braced handlebar carries a center pad and twin chrome mirrors. Instrumentation consists of a 100-mph speedometer and a tachometer with an 8k-rpm redline and inset indicator lights. The five-digit odometer indicates 4k miles, approximately 40 of which were added under current ownership.

The air-cooled 183cc two-stroke single is equipped with CCI oil injection, a kick starter, a Mikuni carburetor, and a high-mount exhaust system with a wire chrome heat shield. The seller states the carburetor was cleaned under prior ownership.

Power is sent to the rear wheel through a five-speed transmission and a drive chain with a silver-finished upper guard.
