A KE100, as it was called over here. I would have guessed something bigger but they were good little trailies. better off road than my 1972 Honda SL175 but nowhere near as quick on road.

This was the pre KE model. Not registered in the UK...could be from the US or Japan. Needs a few bits but all available on the net so no worries. Not sure if I'll keep it as an economical run about or sell it yet...apparently they are good for a dizzying 68mph!

You should be able to get the spares easily enough. If it is a US model then it should have a US style chassis plate.

I still have a Suzuki TS185 Trail iron in my garage that i done a total nut and bolt ground up restoration in 1990 and has only has done 20 miles since the rebuild,this was a winter project and covered up and still sat in the corner of the garage and i has never been used since.

May be in 2015 i may try and fire it up again,one of the tyres is flat but i guess that is to be expected but these days i have other pastimes these days that took over from when i lost interest in bikes after 30 odd years.

I like it, looks to hsve the same engine as the KH100, my frirnd had a kh125 when we were both 17, he still has it (he stripped and repainted it for his mrs who doesn't ride anymore) I've got an old magazine article somewhere saying the 100 was a better bike than the 125. I like old twin shock trialies so great to see you've got one. For a long time I was looking at buying one although I was looking at Yamaha TY's
