Suzuki TM75 1974 Yellow/Green
Following the introduction of the groundbreaking 1973 Honda Elsinore line-up, Suzuki was quick to augment their motocross/dirtbike offerings. And, in 1974, the Suzuki line-up included 75cc/100cc/125cc/250cc/400cc motocrossers branded TMs - the precursor to the RM moniker. Most of the ‘74 models were painted in the distinctive (and beautiful) Yellow/Green graphics - Go Packers!
The TM75 was based off the TS50 Gaucho (another all time favorite of mine) with a 72cc rotary valve motor, oil injection and 4-speed manual gearbox.
This particular bike was restored to original specifications (very rare) before I acquired it for my collection. I have not put gas in nor, started the bike but bought it as a runner.
The paint work is beautiful and the bike presents very well. There is some pitting on the front forks and some surface rust on the rear shocks.
